### Background
Hebrews 7:3 makes the following startling statement about a character called "Melchizedek":
> Without father, without mother, without genealogy, **having neither beginning of days nor end of life**, but resembling the Son of God, he [Melchizedek] remains a priest forever
Having no beginning nor end sounds similar to language the Bible uses about God:
> Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the whole world, **from everlasting to everlasting** You are God. *Psalms 90:2*
The author of Hebrews also compares him to the "Son of God".
### Question
Do any Christians believe that since Melchizedek has no beginning nor end that he is a divine being in some way? If so, do any Christians worship him?
