Melchizedek

  

'Melchizedek' signifies the celestial parts of the interior self with the Lord. 'Melchizedek, a priest and king in one person,' represents the divine humanity of the Lord with respect to good and truth.

6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
