“Wait—Who’s Melchizedek and Why Should I Care?” (Hebrews 7:1-3) - Daily Manna - 04/21/25

Apr 21, 2025 • Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta

Wait—Who Is Melchizedek and Why Does He Matter?

He only shows up briefly in Genesis 14. He blesses Abraham, receives a tithe, brings bread and wine... and then disappears. No backstory. No genealogy. Nothing.

But the writer of Hebrews says: Don't skip past him. Melchizedek is more than a historical mystery—he’s a prophetic picture of something greater. A picture of Yeshua. A king. A priest. A high priest not rooted in genealogy, but in divine purpose.

In this deep dive into Hebrews 6–7, Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta walks us through how Melchizedek points to God’s unchanging purposes, His unchanging Word, and the anchor we have in Yeshua—who has gone before us, behind the veil.

📖 Key Passages: Hebrews 6:17–20, Hebrews 7:1–3, Genesis 14, Psalm 110

🕊️ Hold fast. Don’t drift. Let His promises anchor your soul.
