Note..:- Please read this blog till the ending.
May the Today Bible verses help you build a spiritual relationship with God. You read this verse and understand what God is telling you and what God wants from you.

Let’s take a closer look. Melchizedek is only mentioned twice in the entire Hebrew Bible 
1. ( Genesis 14:17-20 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (also called the King's Valley). Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High. He blessed him saying,
"Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
Blessed be God Most High, who has given your enemies into your hand."
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.)

2.( Psalm 110:4 Yahweh has sworn, and will not change:
"You are a priest forever,
after the manner of Melchizedek.")


He rules Salem (literally, in Hebrew, Shalem), which later in the Hebrew Bible is identified as Jerusalem 
(see Psalm 76:1-2 
where “God’s tent is in Salem, his dwelling is in Zion”).

Melchizedek is the first explicit royal priest in the book of Genesis. Adam and Eve’s roles as royal priests are implied, but Melchizedek is clearly called a . As a “priest of God Most High” (Genesis 14:18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High.)
Hebrew,

He is understood to be a genuine priest of the God of Israel, but before Israel ever existed and before Yahweh was known by that name (Exodus 3:12-15 God replied, "I will certainly be with you. This will be a sign to you that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship me on this mountain." Moses said to God, "When I go to the Israelites and tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and when they say to me, 'What is his name?' what should I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM." God said, "You must say to the Israelites, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" God also said to Moses, "You must say to the Israelites, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is how I will be kept in mind for all generations.').

Not confusing at all, right?
Jesus Christ, Bible study

Luke 23:1-25 Genesis 41 Psalm 32 * We see in our life that how people reject the Lord, ridicule him and say that what life will give us who could not save himself. Like we read in Luke 23:1–25. That people did not accept the Lord Jesus Christ and asked the king to give him the death of anger and we know that in the Bible, Lord Jesus Christ died for our sin and also lived for our righteousness and is alive till today. And those who live in the shadow of God, God always protects and helps them and also gives them success as written in Genesis 41 in the Bible. In bad times like famine, I give God enough food to Joseph and God stays with Yusuf to guide him, due to which even the countries like Egypt who did not fear God were blessed, there was no food in the whole city but in Egypt There was food and Egypt used to buy food for all the cities and Joseph gave authority over the whole of Egypt. * We know that there are good times and bad times in our life, but we should follow and

Hebrews...:– 6:13–20 Exodus..:- 1—2 Psalms..:- 40 I read in the Bible in Hebrews 6:13 that as God made a promise to Abraham and found no one greater than Him to fulfill the promise, God made a promise to Abraham by taking an oath of his own accord and said that I would give you more I will increase your lineage a lot and I will also give blessings. And as we know, in the Bible, in Exodus 1 and 2, we read about how God greatly blessed and raised Jacob and his children in Egypt. And we read that as it is written in the Bible, how in Egypt they had to suffer a lot and had to endure many troubles, and even in the days of trouble, God increased Israel greatly and Israel people began to flourish; And they went on becoming exceedingly powerful; And they grew so much that the whole country was filled with them. But God saw their suffering and heard their cry which was coming out because of the hard service that cry reached to God and God remembered his promise which he had made to
