Who Is Melchizedek?
“Melchizedek, the king-priest of Salem, is foundational for understanding how Jesus occupies the offices of king and priest—a dual honor that finds little to no precedent among Israelite kings.” - TGC

Tyler, are you saying that Melchizedek is the pre-incarnate Son?

If Melchizedek is the pre-incarnate Christ, that would mean that Abraham was privileged to meet with Him at least a few times—before He went to destroy Sodom, after He met with Abraham when Abraham had defeated the kings in that battle. That’s a wonderful privilege.
For my part, I’m not convinced 100% that Melchizedek was an appearance of the pre-incarnate Son, but at the very least, he’s an old Testament model for who Christ would be. I cherish it as one of those neat mysteries where Scripture doesn’t say “for sure.”
