You are a priest forever--in the "honored" order of Melchizedek. (5:6)

Melchizedek is perhaps the most mysterious figure in Scripture. He appears for the first time in Genesis 14:17-20. But who is Melchizedek? Who is this enigmatic figure stepping out of the shadows only to return again? Is he a man or an angel or something else altogether?

This retelling of the Book of Hebrews is designed to help readers understand how Jesus completes the law and prophets. David Capes has written a compelling comparison of the unusual character from Genesis, Melchizedek, and the Liberator found in the New Testament, Jesus. His story is followed by the complete text of Hebrews retold by Greg Garrett.

A Revelatory Account Of The 2020 Election-The Most Secure, Verifiable, And Transparent In American History-And The Heroes Brave Enough To Get It Right The Big Truth illuminates a crowning achievement in America's quest for a robust democracy in the face of slander by sore losers and opportunists. Filled with interviews of the guardians of democracy-election workers, January 6th Committee members Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) and Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland), Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and more-it is an overpowering counterattack against the Big Lie. CBS Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and National Election Expert David Becker, the Executive Director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation & Research, reveal why Big Lie "fraud" allegations evaporate under scrutiny. They report what actually happened in 2020 while calling out each Trumpian misdirection designed to con and beguile Americans into chasing phantom allegations of election crimes. The 2020 election was not what Trumpist deniers claim. Our political parties knew the rules and procedures. We had record turnout and few election snarls. The result: an accurate count, a seven-million-vote margin of victory, 306 electoral votes for Joe Biden, and Republican gains in congressional and state races. But then-President Trump stoked paranoia-never looking for evidence, contesting results even before anyone cast a ballot, and seeking to bend our system until it almost broke with a violent Capitol riot. The Big Lie-the true corruption of American democracy-has shaken our confidence in stable self-government. On the heels of voter-fraud claims, the Capitol siege, and damaging voting laws, the next midterm and presidential election will test our democracy more severely than at any time since the Civil War. How we react may well determine if we are led into another war against ourselves. The Big Truth debunks the 2020 election conspiracy myth once and for all, while celebrating those who held up our democracy under arguably the most intense scrutiny in American electoral history.
