Melchisedec
Why Christ says he saw and talked Abraham face to face?
Because Christ was with Abraham in the order of Melchisedec.
Melchisedec was the most high priest of God who met Abraham....
And Melchisedec was Christ........

- Joh 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
- Joh 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Because Christ was with Abraham in the order of Melchisedec.
- Hebrews 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Melchisedec was the most high priest of God who met Abraham....
- Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
And Melchisedec was Christ........
- Heb 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
