Psalm 132:13-14

¹³ For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
¹⁴ “This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

Many prophecies have been pronounced over Jerusalem.  Some have already been fulfilled, but others are yet to be.

There is not a lot said about Melchizedek in the Bible but what is said points us to the Messiah.

Speaking prophetically of the Messiah, David refers to Melchizedek in

Psalm 110:4:  

“The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind:  ‘You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.’”

So this king and high priest over ancient Jerusalem was a forerunner of the Messiah.

Hebrews 7:1–2 refers to Melchizedek as being both “king of Salem and priest of God most High,” and explains that “the name Melchizedek means ‘king of righteousness’; then also, ‘king of Salem’ means ‘king of peace.’”

Here again, Melchizedek alludes to the righteousness of the Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), who would become the King of Peace.

Hebrews 7 goes on to describe this high priest as “without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.”  (Hebrews 7:3)

Nevertheless, it stands tall in its calling to be a light to the nations as a shining city on a hill. So, let us pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This is a mandate ordained by God for every born again believer in Christ.

Psalm 122:6

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.

Have you received the free gift of salvation through Christ Jesus? It is not too late. The Bible in Acts 16 verse 31 says this:

Acts 16:31

³¹ So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.

In Jesus precious name! Amen.

Maranatha!
