Hebrews 7:11-25

Comparison Between Christ’s Priesthood and the Levitical Priesthood (Hebrews 7:11-25 ).

Having established the superiority and permanence of the Melchizedekian priesthood, the writer now applies its superiority to Jesus as the Psalmist himself is seen as doing in Psalms 110:4. He has already cited Psalms 110:4 and applied it to Jesus as the One Who has ascended into Heaven as a High Priest after the likeness of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:6; Hebrews 5:10; Hebrews 6:20), because He was the Messiah Who was in view in Psalms 110:0. Now he draws from that fact the inevitable conclusions.
