Psalm 2:7 NKJV
I will declare the decree:
YHWH has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Psalm 110:4 NKJV
YHWH has sworn
And will not relent,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
The Messiah is a priest of the order of Melchizedek. Yes, priest of the YHWH
our God.
Forever.
Hebrews chapter 5 explains these prophecies in the following way:
(1) The Priest was Appointed by God
Hebrews 5:1, 4
For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things
pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. . . .
4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as
Aaron was.
(2) The Priest offered up prayers to God
Hebrews 5:7
who, in the days of His flesh, when He had
offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to
Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly
fear,
(3) The Priest was saved from death by God
Hebrews 5:7
who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and
supplications, with vehement cries and tears to
Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His
godly fear,
(4)
The Priest became the Author of our Salvation because he was made perfect
by God
Hebrews 5:9
9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all
who obey Him,
(5) The Priest was called by God
Hebrews 5:10
. . . called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,”
Finally, ponder over Hebrews 5:11. Let us not remain dull of hearing.
". . . of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing."
Brothers and Sisters in the Anointed One, let us hear and understand that we have Iesus the Anointed One, appointed on oath by God, as High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek. The High Priest of God. Forever.
