| Aaron....what an ugly thing to say ðŸ˜. Well let's see,. Will start off with 7:3; without father, without mother, without desent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life but made like unto the Son of G-d, abides a priest continuallyNo what's he talking about here? And how do you become a levite priest? You have to be a levite😀, your genealogy matters. How to get to be a priest,or high priest? You have to be a levite from the line of Aaron, your genealogy matters 😉What do you have to have to be a priest after the order of Melchizedek, do you need genealogy? Nope. That's all he's saying hereHe's trying to make a point here before he continues, cuz before he makes a case for Y'shua being a High Priest, which is going to be tough because people are expecting a levite, and He wasn't. So therefore Y'shua doesn't have a case, in THAT order of thinking....7:4-6; now consider how great this man was, even the Patriarchs Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils , 5; and vVerily they that are of the sons of **Levi**, who received the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they came out of the loins of Abraham6; but he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and bless him that had the promisesAbraham tithes to him..., Paul is trying to show we have a Priesthood but that Priesthood is to be treated the same and receive tithes. That Priesthood, Melchizedek receive tithe before that priesthood, levitical, there was no levitical priesthood. He saying this is also a Priest and can receive tithe7:6; but he whose descent is not counted from them, received ties of Abraham, and bless him that had the promises. Abraham held the promises, Abram tithe to Melchizedek and he blessed Abraham, this is what the Melchizedek Priesthood does7:7; and without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better, or the inferior is blessed by the Superior. There is a superiority to the Melchizedek to Abraham7:8; and here men that *die* receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witness that he lives. This is a priesthood that always had mortality. The levitical priesthood always had men, human beings and they eventually die. Again he's making a case for Y'shua in what's going on here is a shifting of the Priesthood7:8-10; and here men that died receive tithes, but they're he received them, of whom it is witness that he lives 9; and as I may say so, Levi also receive tithes, paid tithes to Abraham, for he was yet in the loins of his father, where Melchizedek met him. I'm just going to make a point here in my study Moshe had the Melchizedek Priesthood and Aaron had the levitical, which one had more Authority? Moshe, SuperiorThe rest of this is talking about perfection, not that something wasn't useful or served a function, or talking about that which is **bringing** Perfection7:12; for the priesthood (levitical) being changed, there is made of a necessity it changed also the Law. What Law is being changed? Not done away with. The Greek meaning is a change of an ordinance in the Law. And what's being talked about here is tithingSo now that we have a new priesthood the tithes don't go to the levitical priesthood anymore. So now the old priesthood is leaving, dying off, vanishing away, the new Priesthood is in place & Baruch HaShem, Praise G-d, Y'shua will never die or change. When a priest died, and a new one would step up to replace him. Just as today in government when one steps down wenever know what you're going to get. And the priest back then, as in today messed everything up. But with Y'shua, the New Covenant as our High Priest He never dies, changes, & will never be replaced 😀😇What is the Melchizedek priesthood? It's one of the cycle ship and teaching of Torah, & that's exactly what Y'shua spent His whole life doing? teaching & discipling. What was Moshe doing? Teaching & discipling. Abraham, teaching his whole house about God and a vertical relationship with him and we were supposed to do, that's a Melchizedek Priesthood that's how it's done7:13; for He of whom these things were spoken pertain to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. This altar attendance is only levitical. The Priesthood is now Melchizedek, not levitical. Who is the He of in this verse? Y'shua & He is from the tribe of Judah vs 14.What was the change here in verse 12? The only change is in our understanding of what it takes to be a High Priest. No not doing away with any other Law, this is clearly speaking of the Priesthood and our interactions with Him. It is 100% consistently about the Priest and the Priesthood that's it. He's not talking about food, Sabbath, or Feasts, it is simply about understanding the PriesthoodThat is the context of Hebrews chapter 7 the Melchizedek Priesthood versus the levitical7:15-16; and it is yet far more evident, for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there arise another priest, 16; who is made, not after the law of carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life. He's saying he's not the High Priest of our fleshly Command or that of men that deal with our lives or of having to be a priest through Aaron's blood or leviteðŸ˜ðŸ˜‡ 18; for he testifies, you are a priest Forever After the order of Melchizedek ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‡ oooooh, this is quoted from Psalms 110:4; the L-rd has sworn, and will not repent, you are a Priest after the order of Melchizedek😱😋Vs 28; for the law makes *men* high priest which ðŸ˜have *infirmities / weaknesses* but the Word of the oath which was since the Torah, makes the Son, who's consecrated forevermoreSo what is being called weak, the Law or men? Y'shua is better, those priests always had to sacrifice animal for their sins before they went to minister, Messiah will never have to do that, He is the better High Priest Forever, He's Perfect, He knows what He's doing, He always gets it right. Men do not, men are sinful.... Ps 122:6 |
