Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Melchizedek, Melkisetek, or Malki Tzedek (; Hebrew: מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶֿק‬ malkī-ṣeḏeq, "king of righteousness"; Amharic: መልከ ጼዴቅ malkī-ṣeḏeq; Armenian: Մելքիսեդեք, Melkisetek), was the king of Salem and priest of El Elyon (often translated as "God most high") mentioned in the  14th chapter of the Book of Genesis. He brings out bread and wine and blesses Abram and El Elyon.Chazalic literature—specifically Targum Jonathan, Targum Yerushalmi, and the Babylonian Talmud—presents the name (מלכי־צדק) as a nickname title for Shem, the son of Noah.In Christianity, according to the Epistle to the Hebrews, Jesus Christ is identified as "a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek", and so Jesus assumes the role of High Priest once and for all.
Reference between the messiah and Melchizedek appears in subsequent biblical verses:
Hebrews 4:14-15;  5:6; 5:10; 6:19-20; 7:1-21.

It is speculated that the story of Melchizedek are an informal insertion into the narration, possibly inserted in order to give validity to the priesthood and tithes connected with the Second Temple.  His name indicates he may have worshipped Zedek, a Canaanite deity worshipped in pre-Israelite Jerusalem.
