1724. Verse 18. And Melchizedek king of Salem bought forth bread and wine; and he was priest to God Most High. “Melchizedek” signifies the celestial things of the interior man in the Lord; “king of Salem,” signifies a state of peace as to interior or rational things; “brought forth bread,” signifies celestial things and the refreshment from them; “and wine,” signifies spiritual things and the refreshment from them; “and he was priest,” signifies the holy of love; “to God Most High,” signifies the internal man, which is Jehovah.
