“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”*
*Psalm 110:4
Why not “according to the order of Levi” ?
- Levi Priest Hood had 81 High Priests starting from Aaron to Caiaphas. All died.
- Levi Priest Hood fails
Melchizedek Priest Hood
- Only blessings came from the mouth of Melchizedek
- No mention of the death of Melchizedek in Bible
- Everlasting Priest Hood.
- Jesus is the High Priest forever
- Jesus Priesthood never fails
Blessing for the people depends on how good the High Priest is
- Jesus is our High Priest.
- Jesus always accepted before God
- You are always accepted before God
