Melchizedek? Who is this guy? He's a priest or more precisely -- "This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High." [Hebrews 7:1] Ok. So this is a dispensation they didn't talk about in the Jewel Miller filmstrips. (Wow...I googled Jewel Miller filmstrips and there's no official site. That's an opportunity for someone.) Melchizedek is a priest of God...before the priesthood was even set up. He was a priest before there were even Jews. Once again, God can and does anything he wants to do. We want to codify Him and He resists this. That's why the Jews missed Christ. He didn't fit. They didn't see Him because He wasn't within their frame of reference or expectation.
God is exceptional.

Read the Book of Enoch. It is a part of the Ethiopian Coptic Bible and was considered Scripture by the Apostles.
