LESSON 1 * PART 4 * BOOK 50
Hebrews 6:11 – 7:19 - Part 2

Hebrews 7:11
"If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, [in other words, if the Law and Judaism were all that there was to be gained] (for under it the people received the law,) [well if that’s the case] what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?" Remember Aaron was the brother of Moses and was the first priest of Israel. And that priesthood carried all the way through to the time of Christ and even though the veil was rent in twain when Christ died on the Cross, the Jewish people sewed it back up, at least according to legend. Now verse 12.
Hebrews 7:12
"For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law." It was no longer necessary to practice Temple worship and sacrifices and tithing and all those things that were demanded by the Law because we now are under a priesthood that was not out of Aaron or Levi, but from the priesthood of Melchisedec (Christ).
Hebrews 7:13
This priest didn’t even come from the Levitical priestly tribe. This priest came from the kingly tribe of Judah. Saul the first king, was from the line of Benjamin, but Judah was the designated tribe to produce the kings of Israel. So, it’s out of this kingly tribe that this priest Melchisedec comes, which is Jesus Christ. Verse 13 again.
Hebrews 7:13
Remember we read all the verses. No man, unless they were from the lineage of Levi, could possibly exercise the role of a priest. Verse 14.
Hebrews 7:14-15
A totally different priest, not of the Aaronic, not of the tribe Levi but out of the tribe of Judah. Now verse 16.
Hebrews 7:16a
Here again I feel Melchisedec was a theophany of Christ in the Old Testament. Hebrews 7:16a
"Who is made, not after the law of a carnal (or a fleshly) commandment,…" It was from God’s point of view.
The Law was a minister of death? Because it had no power to help people keep the Law. Romans 3:19
"Now we know that what things soever the law (the Ten Commandments) saith, it saith to them who are under the law: (that is Israel) that every mouth (the whole world now not just Israel) may be stopped and all the world (not just Israel. The law condemned the whole world. People are not saved under the Law. "That the Law just simply makes man guilty." Now look at the next verse.
Romans 3:20
for by the law is the knowledge of (not life but what?) sin." That’s all the Law can do is show man their sin. Not a word in Scripture ever gives the Law credit for bringing people to salvation. Never! It filled the gap between Moses and Christ, yes. II Corinthians 3:3
Now verses 4 and 5.
II Corinthians 3:4-6
Israel understood right from wrong by virtue of what the Law said. They understood it was wrong to murder because the Law said "Thou shalt not murder." Remember we’ve got something better than the written Law. The indwelling Holy Spirit. The Spirit will never tell a believer to go and steal. The Holy Spirit will never tell a believer to gossip. Now looking at verse 6 again:
II Corinthians 3:6-7a
"Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter (The Commandments) but of the spirit (now here it comes) for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. The Ten Commandments. People can’t understand that, but I hope you do. It was because all the Law could do was condemn. It couldn’t give anybody life. Romans 6:23
death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Now coming back to II Corinthians 3:7, let’s finish verse 7.
II Corinthians 3:7
"But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones was glorious, (it was from God’s point. The Law has to go. When Christ finished the work of the Cross. Turn to Colossians chapter 2. Six hundred thirteen rules and regulations made up the Mosaic Law at the time of Christ. Puts it to death. So under this whole new economy, where we’re not under the Law, we’re under grace. We also have a new high priest. Not of the priesthood of Aaron and Levi, but one who was of the priests of "the most high God." "The most high God" who was the God of everybody, not just Israel. And so this high priest is going to represent every tongue and tribe and nation. Hebrews 7:15-16
Hebrews 7:17a
How long did the priesthood last of the priests of Israel? When the priest died, his priesthood went with him. Alright, verse 18.
Hebrews 7:18
Oh, the Law had its purpose. How much effect did the Law have on the behavior of the Israelites? Jezebel. How many of the Jews at Christ’s time were true exemplary believers? Hebrews 7:19
This whole system now of the grace of God which goes out to the whole human race.
