Fourth, both were men of “mighty faith” who taught “repentance” to their people. Of Melchizedek we read, his people wrought righteousness, and obtained heaven“ (JST, Genesis 14:34).
And of course the same will be true of all who sustain Christ and his teachings in righteousness.
Fifth, both bore the title Prince of Peace, being teachers of that gospel by which peace and joy come.
Sixth, of Melchizedek we read,”and he did reign under his father, “ as does Christ, who professes no authority save that of his Father (see John 5:30).
Seventh, though there were many prophets before Melchizedek and many after him, Alma described the king of Salem by saying ”none were greater.“ Thus this great prophet, priest, and king stood as a classic type of the Promised Messiah, of whom it is true not only that none were greater, but also that none have been as great.”
