Some Explaining

From the Epistle to the Hebrews,
in the New Testament of the Holy Bible:

For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.-Hebrews 5:1-14***Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Aaron was the 1st high priest in the priesthood that the Lord God established months after Moses and Aaron and led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery. Melchizedek (Melchisedec) was serving as a priest of the Lord God over 500 years before Aaron and Moses were born in Egypt. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Melchizedek was in the presence of with bread and wine after Abraham recaptured his nephew Lot and the people and goods forcibly taken from Sodom and Gomorrah by 4 enemy kings and their armies. Melchizedek blessed Abraham and praised the Lord God and acknowledged the actions of the Lord God. Over 1,900 years Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah was born, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born in Bethlehem in Judea, not far from the Valley of Shaveh wherein Abraham and Melchizedek stood together. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus willingly went to Jerusalem to be crucified and resurrected, according to the will of the Lord God his Father, giving his life as a ransom and being the only One in whom salvation exists.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1-58, 2 Corinthians 5:1-21, Philippians 2:1-30, Hebrews, 1 Peter 2:1-3:22

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.-Psalm 2:7

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.-Psalm 110:4

For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.-Hebrews 7:17
