The phrase, "whose descent is not counted from them" refers to the fact that Melchisedec was not descended from the SONS OF LEVI. This says nothing about Jesus not coming from Abraham or Adam. Why do you think Luke spends so much time giving us the genealogy of Jesus through Mary's line in Luke 3? Read Heb. 2:16 again. Jesus took on him the SEED OF ABRAHAM. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but HE TOOK ON HIM THE SEED OF ABRAHAM. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (Hebrews 2:16-18 KJV) Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel. (2 Timothy 2:8 KJV) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

Read the verse just BEFORE this one. And it is yet far more evident: for that after the SIMILITUDE of Melchisedec there ariseth ANOTHER priest. (Hebrews 7:15 KJV) The Scriptures do NOT teach that Melchisedec and Jesus were the same person. Melchisedec was a type of Christ, much like Joseph was, and much like the passover lamb was. Rather than belabor our discussion, please just look at the following verse. Doesn't it prove it once and for all that Jesus had the same blood as the rest of humanity? Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and BLOOD, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME. (Hebrews 2:14 KJV) And the following verses give the context: For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (Hebrews 2:16-18 KJV) Peace be with you.
