Is there anyone who doesn’t have a beginning of days or end of life (apart from the Holy Trinity)?
Hebrews 7:8 indicates that Melchizedek lives. Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives (Hebrews 7:8 NKJV) but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises (Hebrews 7:6 NKJV)
Hebrews 7:3
ESV - 3 He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever.
