Mystery of Melchizedek Melchizedek is known to be the man of mystery from the Old and New Testaments he was a priest of the Most High God. After Abrahams rescue of Lot he was ministered by the mystery man known as Melchizedek who blessed him in which Abraham gave a 10th of everything he had. Was this man the King of Salem (Peace)?

1.02 Monotheistic Religions In what ways is the Holy Land an important site for all three monotheistic faiths? The Holy land is important to members of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religion because they have lived on the Holy land for generations and have important religious sites located here. The land is holy for Christians because this was where God’s son Jesus was born, crucified and where he resurrected from the dead. For Jews, it contains many Jewish synagogues and this land was promised to them by Yahweh. After a number of Jews were enslaved in Egypt and once freed, Moses helped them escape through the dessert and after over 40 years of traveling in the dessert they finally made it to the promise land by Yahweh which was Canaan.
In Greek Joshua means Jesus. Joshua was encouraged by God to be strong and have good courage Joshua 1:6-7.

Summary The story of “Noah and the Great Flood” (Gn 6-9) takes place outside the Garden of Eden around 2400 BCE. Noah, the ninth-generation descendent of Adam, lived in a time when “The Earth was corrupt before God”. (Gn 6:11) This grieves the God of Israel, so he decides to destroy what he has created, but Noah found favor in the deity’s eyes because Noah “was a righteous man”. (Gn 6:5-7;6:9) The God of Israel tells Noah to build an ark, gives him specific instructions on its design, and instructs him to bring “two of all living creatures” on the ark with him. (Gn 6:14-19) For 40 days it rains; a great flood covers the earth and “everything that moved on earth perished” except for Noah and everyone with him on the ark.
Christ passes all the trials with the aid of the word of God, “Jesus answered, 'It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4). In this case Gods word was his supernatural helper. After replying the devil with the word of God the devil then flees from him and he is then taken care of by Angeles. “Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him"(Matthew 4:11). The devil is testing Christ’s strength but he manages to pass the tests from the devil.
How Jesus showed his power in over nature, over sickness and over death? Jesus according to the gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke, was a Galilean Jew who taught a love doctrine and was sent by God to reveal his Glory, in fact according to their gospels he was the Messiah. As the Messiah he performed extraordinary events known as miracles, where his power was shown and impressed the people who seen them, these miracles where a sign of mercy, omnipotence and Glory. Throught several examples it is going to be explained, how Jesus showed his power over nature, sickness and over death, comparing several accounts from the gospels that shows the perform of his miracles in these three stages. When it is analyze the relation between Jesus and nature we notice that the synoptic gospels wrote how Jesus has power over it, as an example it is the miracle called “Stilling Storm”, Jesus during a great storm taught his disciples that they have to have faith in Him by calming the wind and the sea.
Both Elijah and Elisha were appointed by God to be the leading prophet of Israel. In addition, Elijah and Elisha were both empowered by God with extraordinary abilities. Their time as prophets of Israel were categorized by their remarkable miracles, Elijah performed a miracle regarding the judgment of apostasy whereas Elisha performed a similar miracle where he restored the faithful. Both had very unusual departures from life on Earth. Elijah was brought up to heaven in a fiery chariot from the Jordan, while Elisha's bones revived life into a corpse.
Jesus and John shared a unique relationship and John knew Him more intimately than any other disciple. Why then did John go back to creation and the earths’ beginning when writing about his friend Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels? Allow me to clarify these questions as I begin to explore and intertwine the mystery of the New Testament’s Reliance upon the Genesis Creation Account. God created man in His own image during the sixth day of the week of creation. Until this point, everything that God created He called good; but after creating man, God said it was very good.
Theology The one, true God is one with whom we are able to interact. He has revealed Himself to His creation through both special and general revelation. Through general revelation, God reveals Himself through His creation (Psalm 19:1-6) and through His provision (Jeremiah 29:11). Through special revelation, God has revealed Himself through direct, tangible contact with human beings, most commonly seen through His son, Jesus. Additionally, God reveals Himself to His creation through His Word (John 1:1-18).
