Was Melchizedek an Old Testament appearance of Christ?

In the book of Genesis, a mysterious figure named Melchizedek meets Abraham. He is called the king of righteousness and king of peace, he brings out bread and wine, he receives tithes from Abraham and blesses him, he has no recorded genealogy. Psalm 110 and Hebrews 7 speak of the significance of Melchizedek and how he relates to Christ. But is he more than that? Is Melchizedek an actual Old Testament appearance of Christ? In this episode, David and Nathan discuss Melchizedek and have a good-spirited debate about whether or not he is an actual Old Testament appearance of Christ.
