Wednesday Evening Bible Study Hebrews 7 5-8-2024

Hebrews 7 deals with Melchizedek and Jesus being our High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek. The first Biblical reference of Melchizedek from Genesis 14 is reviewed. The most popular view of Melchizedek in Genesis is that it was a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. Dr. Johnson has written a book, the Ancient Order of Melchizedek in which he presents the order of Melchizedek as being a list, or order, of human men from Adam to Jacob, after which the offices of Priest and King were separated into two different tribes of Israel. Then when Jesus came and is now our High Priest, seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven, He is now our final and eternal High Priest according to the Order of Melchizedek and will reunite the offices of Priest and King to Himself.
