Does anyone think that Melchizedek was the Logos before He was born in the flesh?

In Hebrews 7:1-3, Melchizedek's name means king of righteousness, and he was the king of Salem, which means peace; Jesus was also the King of Peace.

Melchizedek also had no lineage, it was said, which was against the norm for priests who had to have a genealogy. He was not recorded in the births and deaths of the patriarchs, which were normally carefully recorded, and his genealogy was not spoken of, unlike the Levitical priests.

It stated he was like the Son of God, which was also stated of who appeared in the fire with Shadrach, Meshac, and Abednego.

Nebuchadnezzer said in Daniel 3:25: ...and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Jesus was stated in Hebrews to be a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek, who blessed Abraham (therefore he was greater than Abraham). So was Melchizedek the Son before the Son was born, like the man in the fire?

Update:

@jeff

Then why did it say in scripture that he was like the Son of God?

  • WRONG. Melchisadek was God the Father (King of Peace). Jesus; Son of God was the Prince of Peace. What is the relationship between King of X and Prince of X?
