1 | A change of the law | Heb 7:12 | kalos | 22061 | ||
For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. (Hebrews 7:12, NKJV) For when the priesthood is changed, there also has to be a change in the law. (Hebrews 7:12, TEV) "Since Christ is the Christian's High-Priest and He was of the tribe of Judah, not Levi (compare Matt 2:1,6; Rev 5:5), His priesthood is clearly beyond the law which was the authority for the Levitical priesthood (compare Heb 7:11). This is proof that the Mosaic law had been abrogated [abolished by authoritative action, annulled, nullified]. The Levitical system was replaced by a new Priest, offering a new sacrifice, under a New Covenant. He abrogated the law by fulfilling it (compare Matt 5:17) and providing the perfection which the law could never accomplish (compare Matt 5:20)" (page 1907, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). |

2 | A change of the law | Heb 7:12 | Mommapbs | 22479 | ||
Please refer to Hebrews 5:7-11. Jesus's priesthood was NOT of the Levitical order but of the order of Melchizedek. I believe it is important to remember that this order preceded the giving of the Law! God is not only the law giver , but the establisher of its administration; He is a God of order. Everything happens according to His plan! The moment the veil in the temple was torn, the old order of things passed away and Jesus established a new and better order! The administration of the priesthood changed. It follows that a new administration will also have a different or changed character. We are under a new covenant called grace, not the old covenant called the Law; and Revelation 21:4 assures us that even this covenant will be replaced by something better: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." | ||||||

Mommapbs: You write: "Please refer to Hebrews 5:7-11. Jesus's priesthood was NOT of the Levitical order but of the order of Melchizedek." That's what I said, only in different words: "Christ is the Christian's High-Priest and He was of the tribe of Judah, not Levi. His priesthood is clearly beyond the law which was the authority for the Levitical priesthood." "of the order of Melchizedek." I quoted from the 7th chapter of Hebrews. A careful reading of the chapter I quoted will show that Melchizedek and the Melchizedek priesthood is exactly what is being discussed in this chapter. You write: "The administration of the priesthood changed. It follows that a new administration will also have a different or changed character. We are *under a new covenant* called grace, not the old covenant called the Law;" That's what I said: "The Levitical system was replaced by a new Priest, offering a new sacrifice, *under a New Covenant*." |
