In looking for Jesus in the Old Testament, there are many types that are presented in the New Testament. Hebrews 7-10 points out the uniqueness of Jesus being the High Priest for all time.
Jesus, Not Just Any Priest
Hebrews 7-11
What do you think about when you hear the word “Priest”?
Our picture is often marred by various movies, novels, and pictures. Imagine Jesus being like a priest in one of those shows like Balleykissangel.
The order of Melchizedek- righteousness and peace Gen.: 14:18-20 and Psalm 110:4
See how Jesus is a high priest from a different law! Hebrews 8:1-6 a better priest!
Jesus inaugurates a new Covenant like Jeremiah prophesied: Jeremiah 31:31-34 quoted in Hebrews 8, see last verse.
The outer sanctuary and the Holy Place Hebrews 9:1-5
The job of the high priest – replaced by Jesus! Hebrews 9:8,11,14-17
The need for blood to activate the covenant. Hebrews 9:21-28
The old law does not make perfect! Psalm 40 speaks of one to come later! Psalm 40:6-8
Hebrews 10:1,4,9,10 shows the eternal work of Jesus!
By faith the early believers were looking for a better country, an eternal one! Hebrews 11:13-16
We have come to Mt. Zion and an unshakable Kingdom! Hebrews 12:22-24;
Don’t mess it up – give him your acceptable service! 25-28!
“And Melchizedek the king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has handed over your enemies to you.” And he gave him a tenth of everything.”
Genesis 14:18-20
“The Lord has sworn And will not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.””
Psalms 110:4
““Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.””
Jeremiah 31:31-34
“Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.””
Psalms 40:6-8
