The key passage is
Hebrews 7:1For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, ........3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God;
So Melchisedec is not descended from any human and has not had a beginning of days (uncreated) nor an end of life (immortal)
And also Hebrews 5 - 10 .. after the order of Melchisedec. 11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing
But the hard things to utter were not passed down to us, perhaps because the scribes were dull of hearing
If you want to understand Melchisedec you have to go outside the context of human Masonry and orthodox religions
You could start by seeing what role Melchisedec might play in the temple in the heavens.
Is He one of the 7 Masons whom, if they deign to visit a human temple, make it perfect?

in Revelation 1:16 - "and He had in His right hand seven stars, " alluding to .... The Pleiedes. "...which maketh Arcturus, Orion, the Pleiades and the Chambers to the South." Job 9:9 "Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion." Amos 5:8 "Canst thou bind the sweet influence of the Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion?" Job 38:32 Maat
