 Amen our second song be song oh holy night the printout that was given to you oh holy

00:02:29.790 --> 00:05:50.680
 Let's sing it together on the first oh first verse, the second oh sweet see.

00:05:50.680 --> 00:07:01.920
 The first of the week is Romans 15 verse 5, Romans 15 verse 5.

00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:07.770
 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one towards another

00:07:07.770 --> 00:07:11.110
 according to Christ Jesus.

00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:13.830
 Romans 15 verse 5.

00:07:13.830 --> 00:07:18.930
 Service times were at 10.30 this morning, 3.30 this afternoon and 6.30 on Wednesday.

00:07:18.930 --> 00:07:22.930
 So many times yesterday was 10.30, today was 1.

00:07:22.930 --> 00:07:28.920
 I believe just double checking, we just sold warning today.

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:34.120
 That brings our total numbers for 6th of November, 1 for December, 91 for the year

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.560
 so far.

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.550

00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.430

00:07:54.430 --> 00:07:59.120
 So just planned to be here and probably once again let the Thompsons know so they know

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.000

 Let's turn to the Lord in prayer, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for, alright if

00:10:38.640 --> 00:11:02.600
 you want to take your Bibles and turn to Psalm 126, Psalm 126, Psalm 126, when the Lord turned

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:08.940
 again that captivity of Zion, it's going to be a rough one if I can't pronounce one

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:09.920
 of the first words.

00:11:09.920 --> 00:11:36.970
 Alright, Psalm 126, we'll sing it out on the first.

00:11:36.970 --> 00:14:11.210
 Sing everybody, would you please pray for the offering.

00:14:11.210 --> 00:14:16.200
 Sure Foundation Baptist Church, if you could take your Bibles and turn to Hebrews chapter

00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.090
 7.

00:14:19.090 --> 00:14:24.660
 Hebrews chapter 7, and as always here at our church, we read the entire chapter before

00:14:24.660 --> 00:14:26.350
 the preaching.

00:14:26.350 --> 00:14:35.470
 Hebrews chapter 7, the Bible reads, "For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the

00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:42.220
 Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:48.020
 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being, by interpretation, king

00:14:48.020 --> 00:14:55.020
 of righteousness, and after that also, king of Salem, which is king of peace, without

00:14:55.020 --> 00:15:01.950
 father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life,

00:15:01.950 --> 00:15:08.960
 but had made like unto the Son of God, abideth, a priest, continually.

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:15.230
 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth

00:15:15.230 --> 00:15:21.080
 of the spoils; and verily, they that are of the sons of Levi, who received the office

00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:27.230
 of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law,

00:15:27.230 --> 00:15:32.420
 that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham.

00:15:32.420 --> 00:15:38.490
 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him

00:15:38.490 --> 00:15:46.570
 that had the promises; and without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

00:15:46.570 --> 00:15:53.080
 And here men that die receive tithes, but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed

00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.250
 that he liveth.

00:15:55.250 --> 00:16:02.310
 And as I may so say, Levi also, who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

00:16:02.310 --> 00:16:07.010
 For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

00:16:07.010 --> 00:16:12.520
 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received

00:16:12.520 --> 00:16:13.740
 the law.

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:18.800
 What further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek,

00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:21.760
 and not be called after the order of Aaron?

00:16:21.760 --> 00:16:28.720
 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of a necessity a change also of the law.

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:35.420
 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance

00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:37.210
 at the altar.

00:16:37.210 --> 00:16:42.950
 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spake nothing

00:16:42.950 --> 00:16:45.160
 concerning priesthood.

00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:51.690
 And it is yet far more evident, for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth

00:16:51.690 --> 00:16:57.540
 another priest, who is made not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the

00:16:57.540 --> 00:17:00.440
 power of an endless life.

00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.600
 For he testified, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

00:17:06.600 --> 00:17:11.970
 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness

00:17:11.970 --> 00:17:18.030
 and unprofitableness thereof, for the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in

00:17:18.030 --> 00:17:23.350
 of a better hope did, by the which we draw nigh unto God.

00:17:23.350 --> 00:17:29.650
 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made a priest, for those priests were made

00:17:29.650 --> 00:17:36.630
 without an oath, this with an oath, by him that said unto him, The Lord swear and will

00:17:36.630 --> 00:17:42.520
 not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

00:17:42.520 --> 00:17:50.410
 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament, and they truly were many priests,

00:17:50.410 --> 00:17:55.000
 because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death.

00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:02.250
 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood; wherefore,

00:18:02.250 --> 00:18:08.460
 he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever

00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:11.530
 liveth to make intercession for them.

00:18:11.530 --> 00:18:18.030
 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from

00:18:18.030 --> 00:18:23.990
 sinners, and made higher than the heavens; who needeth not daily as those high priests

00:18:23.990 --> 00:18:29.270
 to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's.

00:18:29.270 --> 00:18:33.190
 For this he did once, when he offered up himself.

00:18:33.190 --> 00:18:39.440
 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath,

00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:44.840
 which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated forevermore.

00:18:44.840 --> 00:18:47.500
 Brother Paul, please pray for the preaching.

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:58.950
 Amen.

00:18:58.950 --> 00:18:59.920
 All right.

00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:04.130
 So we're here in Hebrews chapter number seven, and what I wanted to preach tonight about

00:19:04.130 --> 00:19:07.700
 is about the subject of Melchizedek, and that's going to be kind of the main thing that I'm

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:08.810
 going to be preaching about.

00:19:08.810 --> 00:19:13.760
 I may or may not hit a couple other subjects kind of while we're in this chapter, but

00:19:13.760 --> 00:19:18.320
 if you want to go ahead and flip over to Genesis chapter number 14, Genesis chapter number

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:25.110
 14, we're going to go to the first time that Melchizedek is mentioned in the Bible.

00:19:25.110 --> 00:19:28.650
 And you know Melchizedek isn't mentioned a whole lot of times in the Bible, he's only

00:19:28.650 --> 00:19:31.600
 mentioned a few times.

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:36.090
 And we're going to go to the first time that he's mentioned here in the Bible.

00:19:36.090 --> 00:19:42.120
 And one thing that I kind of want to prove tonight is I want to prove tonight why I believe

00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:48.010
 that Melchizedek is an Old Testament incarnation of Jesus Christ.

00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:49.240
 That's kind of what I want to prove tonight.

00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.630
 Now, I know that there's differing opinions on that.

00:19:51.630 --> 00:19:56.410
 You know, there are certain people that believe that he was just a guy after the order of

00:19:56.410 --> 00:20:03.390
 Melchizedek and that he wasn't necessarily, you know, Christ, you know, manifest, you

00:20:03.390 --> 00:20:07.380
 know, an Old Testament manifestation of Christ.

00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:10.050
 And so, you know, it's not necessary to believe that.

00:20:10.050 --> 00:20:12.180
 I don't believe that's like rank heresy or anything.

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:16.910
 It's just kind of a different interpretation because you can still apply all the things

00:20:16.910 --> 00:20:20.780
 in Hebrews chapter seven in that situation.

00:20:20.780 --> 00:20:23.780
 I personally, I just don't think that that matches the scripture and I don't think that

00:20:23.780 --> 00:20:24.760
 makes as much sense.

00:20:24.760 --> 00:20:30.420
 And I'm, you know, I personally, I believe that everything just flows way easier when

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:36.200
 it's Melchizedek is just an Old Testament incarnation of Jesus Christ, right?

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.790
 That's what I believe and that's kind of what I want to prove tonight.

00:20:38.790 --> 00:20:43.970
 But if you're in Genesis chapter number 14, let's begin in verse number 17 where it talks

00:20:43.970 --> 00:20:44.960
 about Melchizedek here.

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:51.220
 It says, "And the King of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:57.920
 of Chetolomer, and the kings that were with him at the valley of Shevin, which is the

00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:59.460
 Kingsdale.

00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:05.340
 And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine, and he was the priest of the

00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:07.370
 Most High God.

00:21:07.370 --> 00:21:13.620
 And he blessed him and said, 'Blessed be Abraham of the Most High God, possessor of heaven

00:21:13.620 --> 00:21:20.970
 and earth, and blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy

00:21:20.970 --> 00:21:24.730
 hand, and he gave him tithes of all.'"

00:21:24.730 --> 00:21:25.710
 So what do we see here?

00:21:25.710 --> 00:21:28.220
 Well, we see that Melchizedek, what is he?

00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:31.380
 He's the king of Salem, okay?

00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:36.850
 Now that word Salem there, that's kind of basically, it's like short for Jerusalem,

00:21:36.850 --> 00:21:42.330
 because before the city of Jerusalem became Jerusalem, it was called Salem before that.

00:21:42.330 --> 00:21:48.060
 And so Melchizedek, he's the king of Salem here, right?

00:21:48.060 --> 00:21:53.180
 And it also says that he was the priest of the Most High God, right?

00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:59.360
 And we saw that mentioned many times in Hebrews chapter number seven, the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:05.030
 And Melchizedek here in Genesis 14, he is the priest of the Most High God.

00:22:05.030 --> 00:22:11.320
 And it's like, okay, if you're reading through the book of Genesis, there isn't really talk

00:22:11.320 --> 00:22:13.910
 of the priesthood going on, right?

00:22:13.910 --> 00:22:17.480
 It's just kind of all of a sudden Melchizedek shows up and he's like, "Hey, what's up?

00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.470
 I'm the priest of the Most High God."

00:22:19.470 --> 00:22:23.100
 It's like, whoa, you know, where'd this guy come from?

00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:26.760
 And then, you know, basically he just disappears.

00:22:26.760 --> 00:22:33.490
 Like after Genesis 14 here, you know, you don't read about him again until Psalm 110.

00:22:33.490 --> 00:22:37.060
 And we're going to look at that later in the sermon.

00:22:37.060 --> 00:22:43.080
 But basically, you know, this guy Melchizedek just pops in, you know, right after Abraham

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:49.690
 with his 318 guys just whipped some butt, you know, and saved Lot, you know.

00:22:49.690 --> 00:22:54.580
 And you know, I always remember that because the first truck I had had a 318 cubic inch

00:22:54.580 --> 00:23:02.970
 engine, so not too relevant, but you know, I figured you guys needed to know that.

00:23:02.970 --> 00:23:07.210
 But you know, Abraham, he just got done with the slaughter of the kings, right?

00:23:07.210 --> 00:23:10.100
 And you know, he got a bunch of spoil or whatever.

00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:15.620
 And then this guy Melchizedek shows up and he's the priest of the Most High God, he's

00:23:15.620 --> 00:23:22.540
 the king of Salem, and then Abraham is tithing to Melchizedek.

00:23:22.540 --> 00:23:28.060
 And so, you know, nothing, you know, that doesn't ultimately prove that this is an Old

00:23:28.060 --> 00:23:33.010
 Testament incarnation of Jesus Christ, but I think it definitely points towards it.

00:23:33.010 --> 00:23:35.440
 I think it definitely lends towards that.

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:38.670
 You know, it doesn't come out and just tell you that it's Jesus Christ.

00:23:38.670 --> 00:23:41.330
 You know, nothing in the Old Testament does, right?

00:23:41.330 --> 00:23:45.210
 You know, in Genesis chapter number 18, it doesn't tell you that it's Jesus Christ,

00:23:45.210 --> 00:23:47.690
 and you know, two angels that came to Abraham.

00:23:47.690 --> 00:23:52.580
 But as you read the story, you know that it is God, and we deduct that it has to be Jesus

00:23:52.580 --> 00:23:59.730
 Christ because, you know, God the Father is not coming down to earth as a man.

00:23:59.730 --> 00:24:01.310
 That is something that Jesus Christ does.

00:24:01.310 --> 00:24:07.200
 And so we know, we know that in Genesis 18 that that is Jesus Christ for sure.

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:12.200
 But you know, it's the idea that Melchizedek here is Jesus Christ.

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:18.720
 I think it just it fits and flows a lot easier than it just being a guy, you know, that happens

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.920
 to be, you know, the priest of the Most High God, because it's like, well, where did this

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.440
 priest of the Most High God come from and where did it go?

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:32.520
 Like if it just pops up here in Genesis 14, you know, if it's a guy, to me, it's like,

00:24:32.520 --> 00:24:36.170
 well, how did he become the priest of the Most High God?

00:24:36.170 --> 00:24:42.970
 Like, you know, it's not explained, but if it is Jesus, to me, it just makes sense.

00:24:42.970 --> 00:24:47.370
 It's like, yeah, Jesus, He's the priest of the Most High God, He can just show up whenever

00:24:47.370 --> 00:24:48.350
 He wants.

00:24:48.350 --> 00:24:52.230
 He can show up anywhere He wants in the timeline and be the priest of the Most High God.

00:24:52.230 --> 00:24:56.620
 He can just show up and leave because He can do what He wants, right?

00:24:56.620 --> 00:25:01.440
 So to me, that makes a lot more sense, you know, that it is Jesus Christ.

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:05.690
 But let's go ahead and turn to Hebrews chapter number 6, Hebrews chapter number 6, and we're

00:25:05.690 --> 00:25:09.340
 going to flow right into Hebrews chapter 7.

00:25:09.340 --> 00:25:14.580
 This is another place that Melchizedek has mentioned, and it kind of gives a little bit

00:25:14.580 --> 00:25:21.050
 of context as we're going into Hebrews chapter number 7.

00:25:21.050 --> 00:25:25.950
 And it says in Hebrews 6, look at verse number 18, it says, "By two immutable things in which

00:25:25.950 --> 00:25:32.900
 it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation who have fled for

00:25:32.900 --> 00:25:40.220
 a refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us, which hope we have as an anchor of the

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:50.390
 soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entered into that within the veil, whether the forerunner

00:25:50.390 --> 00:26:00.660
 is for us entered, even Jesus made an high priest after the God has promised us."

00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:03.210
 He tells us it's impossible for him to lie.

00:26:03.210 --> 00:26:05.300
 You know, what is the anchor of our souls?

00:26:05.300 --> 00:26:10.820
 Well, it's this priest after the order of Melchizedek, Jesus Christ, right?

00:26:10.820 --> 00:26:14.040
 So that's kind of the context that we get going into Hebrews chapter number seven.

00:26:14.040 --> 00:26:22.120
 So the Bible just told us that the priest after the order of Melchizedek is Jesus Christ,

00:26:22.120 --> 00:26:23.100
 right?

00:26:23.100 --> 00:26:25.560
 He's made a priest after the order of Melchizedek.

00:26:25.560 --> 00:26:33.590
 Hebrews chapter seven, verse number one says, "For this, Melchizedek, king of Salem," you

00:26:33.590 --> 00:26:36.830
 know, once again, going back to that Genesis chapter 14 where it says he's the king of

00:26:36.830 --> 00:26:43.110
 Salem, "Priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham, returning from the slaughter of the

00:26:43.110 --> 00:26:52.130
 kings, and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being by interpretation

00:26:52.130 --> 00:26:53.820
 king of righteousness."

00:26:53.820 --> 00:26:56.640
 Now, you know, who's the king of righteousness?

00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:58.650
 Jesus Christ, right?

00:26:58.650 --> 00:27:06.670
 And after that also, king of Salem, which is king of peace, without father, without

00:27:06.670 --> 00:27:12.840
 mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto

00:27:12.840 --> 00:27:18.090
 the Son of God, abideth a priest continually.

00:27:18.090 --> 00:27:25.790
 And so, you know, to me, does just the plain reading of these verses say, "Hey, this has

00:27:25.790 --> 00:27:26.770
 to be Jesus."

00:27:26.770 --> 00:27:27.760
 Why?

00:27:27.760 --> 00:27:33.700
 Because, you know, without father and without mother, without descent, having neither beginning

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:34.840
 of days nor end of life.

00:27:34.840 --> 00:27:41.730
 Now, you know, without father and without mother, when Melchizedek showed up to Abraham,

00:27:41.730 --> 00:27:46.480
 you know, had he been born of the Virgin Mary at that point?

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.430
 No.

00:27:47.430 --> 00:27:52.390
 And so could you say, at that point, I mean, because like today, you know, you could technically

00:27:52.390 --> 00:27:55.540
 say, "Well, he has a mother, it's Mary," you know, and the Catholics would like freak

00:27:55.540 --> 00:28:00.010
 out, "Ah, his mother Mary, Mary the mother of God," or whatever.

00:28:00.010 --> 00:28:06.210
 But you know, Melchizedek showing up before that happened, right?

00:28:06.210 --> 00:28:09.440
 Obviously he is without father, without mother, right?

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:17.370
 And so to me, but if it was just a guy, you know, has there been anybody else that had

00:28:17.370 --> 00:28:19.570
 no father and no mother?

00:28:19.570 --> 00:28:24.970
 I mean, maybe you could say Adam had no mother, but you know, and you know, I guess you could

00:28:24.970 --> 00:28:29.570
 say Eve had no mother as well, but are we talking about those people though?

00:28:29.570 --> 00:28:35.930
 Really not, so nobody else, it would not fit literally with anybody else except for Jesus

00:28:35.930 --> 00:28:37.600
 Christ, right?

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:44.790
 And so in order to say that Melchizedek is not Jesus Christ, you would, would be required

00:28:44.790 --> 00:28:48.420
 to say that this is not literal, that this is like an allegory, right?

00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:53.890
 This is just, it's just saying, hey, you know, the, the order itself or whatever is without

00:28:53.890 --> 00:28:56.070
 father or mother or something like that.

00:28:56.070 --> 00:28:58.210
 Basically you would not be able to take it literally.

00:28:58.210 --> 00:28:59.200
 Okay.

00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:04.030
 But if we, if we look at these verses and just take it literally, you do have to come

00:29:04.030 --> 00:29:08.760
 away saying, Hey, this can not be any other, anything else.

00:29:08.760 --> 00:29:13.730
 But Jesus Christ, it has to be Jesus Christ because, you know, he's the only one that

00:29:13.730 --> 00:29:20.120
 you would be able to say, Hey, without father, without mother, you know, also, you know,

00:29:20.120 --> 00:29:27.120
 without dissent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life.

00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:31.880
 And you know, without dissent there, you know, obviously, when we're looking at these verses,

00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:35.670
 you know, we're talking about like a physical father and mother and physical dissent, right?

00:29:35.670 --> 00:29:38.910
 Now, did Jesus Christ have any physical children?

00:29:38.910 --> 00:29:40.470
 No, he did not.

00:29:40.470 --> 00:29:44.240
 This fits, once again, it fits Jesus Christ.

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:51.240
 But if it was just, you know, some guy, you know, the way that the Levitical priesthood

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.590
 was set up is that you had to be part of a tribe, the tribe of Levi, right?

00:29:54.590 --> 00:29:59.330
 So there had to be some physical descendants happening there for the priesthood to continue,

00:29:59.330 --> 00:30:00.320
 right?

00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:07.580
 And so, you know, if the Order of Melchizedek was not Jesus Christ, but it was a guy named

00:30:07.580 --> 00:30:14.040
 Melchizedek, then how it doesn't make sense that that priest could continue if he didn't

00:30:14.040 --> 00:30:18.800
 have any physical descendants, if it was just a mortal man, right?

00:30:18.800 --> 00:30:23.610
 I hope I'm making sense right now, but to me, the fact that, you know, he says without

00:30:23.610 --> 00:30:29.580
 descendants, that makes sense to me that it has to be Jesus Christ, right?

00:30:29.580 --> 00:30:33.220
 And again, you would have to say that, well, this is not a literal descendants we're talking

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:34.210
 about.

00:30:34.210 --> 00:30:36.390
 We're just talking about kind of the order or whatever.

00:30:36.390 --> 00:30:40.340
 But the thing about it is, is that, you know, again, in the Old Testament, you know, we

00:30:40.340 --> 00:30:42.130
 get basically two mentions of Melchizedek.

00:30:42.130 --> 00:30:48.560
 We get Genesis chapter number 14, and then we get Psalms 110.

00:30:48.560 --> 00:30:53.090
 And so it seems like unless it's talking about Jesus Christ, where is this continuation

00:30:53.090 --> 00:30:57.500
 of the order of Melchizedek, right?

00:30:57.500 --> 00:31:03.260
 And the Bible is clear that the order of Melchizedek is a continual priesthood, like it's an everlasting

00:31:03.260 --> 00:31:04.250
 priesthood.

00:31:04.250 --> 00:31:05.540
 It never ends, right?

00:31:05.540 --> 00:31:12.980
 And so, you know, to me, if it's a guy named Melchizedek, to me, it doesn't make sense

00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:17.540
 because then it seems like it would have to end when he died and then there's no descendants.

00:31:17.540 --> 00:31:21.350
 I don't know if, again, I hope I'm making sense tonight.

00:31:21.350 --> 00:31:25.910
 I'm hoping I'm making these verses make sense.

00:31:25.910 --> 00:31:29.040
 It says, and then again here it says, "Nor end of life."

00:31:29.040 --> 00:31:30.350
 Right?

00:31:30.350 --> 00:31:34.560
 And of course we know that Jesus Christ ever liveth and maketh intercession for us.

00:31:34.560 --> 00:31:35.730
 Amen?

00:31:35.730 --> 00:31:40.230
 So Jesus Christ, you know, again, this makes a lot of sense if we're talking about Jesus

00:31:40.230 --> 00:31:45.410
 Christ because, look, Jesus Christ, He did die, but guess what?

00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:50.460
 He rose again and He ever liveth and He's never going to die again.

00:31:50.460 --> 00:31:56.860
 He has purchased everlasting life for us and, you know, we are saved by His life.

00:31:56.860 --> 00:31:57.890
 Amen?

00:31:57.890 --> 00:32:00.510
 We don't have to worry about Jesus Christ dying.

00:32:00.510 --> 00:32:01.480
 Why?

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.880
 Because He ever liveth and He has no end of days, you know, no end of life.

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:12.990
 It says, "But made like unto the Son of God, abideth a priest continually."

00:32:12.990 --> 00:32:15.320
 So this is a continual priesthood.

00:32:15.320 --> 00:32:19.430
 This is not a priesthood that ever ends, right?

00:32:19.430 --> 00:32:25.150
 And so, again, it just makes sense that, you know, these are kind of like the main verses

00:32:25.150 --> 00:32:30.090
 that people that believe in my position will use, right, is verse number three.

00:32:30.090 --> 00:32:37.150
 That's kind of like the main, I guess, hammer for that position is like, look, you know,

00:32:37.150 --> 00:32:41.690
 it's without father, it's without mother, it's without end of days, he abided the priest

00:32:41.690 --> 00:32:44.010
 continually.

00:32:44.010 --> 00:32:48.810
 And so, you know, these verses, they just lend themselves to that.

00:32:48.810 --> 00:32:53.590
 Now somebody will say, well, but he was made like under the Son of God, right?

00:32:53.590 --> 00:33:00.620
 And so, you know, how could that be Jesus if he's made like under the Son of God?

00:33:00.620 --> 00:33:06.760
 Well, you know, in Hebrews chapter number one, the Bible says that he was made a little

00:33:06.760 --> 00:33:07.950
 lower than the angels, right?

00:33:07.950 --> 00:33:13.060
 So that's kind of, I believe how he was made like under the Son of God, right?

00:33:13.060 --> 00:33:20.480
 But let's continue on there in verse number four, it says, "Now consider how great this

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:28.880
 man was unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of spoils."

00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:35.060
 And so, you know, the Bible's telling us that this guy, Mount Hesedek, basically it's saying

00:33:35.060 --> 00:33:37.680
 that he's greater than Abraham.

00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:42.040
 Now here's the thing about Abraham, Abraham, he's like the father of faith, right?

00:33:42.040 --> 00:33:42.970
 Like he's a pretty great guy.

00:33:42.970 --> 00:33:48.650
 I mean, if you think about people in the Old Testament, you know, Abraham's, you know,

00:33:48.650 --> 00:33:51.120
 he's like top five or something like that, you know?

00:33:51.120 --> 00:33:58.590
 I mean, you've got like Abraham, you've got, you know, you've got Moses, you've got David,

00:33:58.590 --> 00:34:01.680
 you know, those, you know, you've got those three guys are kind of like the top three

00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.870
 guys, kind of in my opinion, of people in the Old Testament, you know?

00:34:05.870 --> 00:34:11.420
 And Abraham, he came before those other guys, and so it's like, you know, Abraham's a pretty

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:13.590
 great guy, right?

00:34:13.590 --> 00:34:18.170
 But the Bible here is saying that, hey, you know, this guy Melchizedek, he's greater than

00:34:18.170 --> 00:34:19.120
 Jesus Christ.

00:34:19.120 --> 00:34:25.480
 Or, excuse me, I completely misspoke, I had a, that was a major Biden moment, you know.

00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:26.460
 How's my focus?

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:32.280
 Oh, it's focused, I can't tell you how many years.

00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:37.040
 It's saying that Melchizedek is greater than Abraham, right?

00:34:37.040 --> 00:34:41.080
 Because you know, there's nobody that's greater than Jesus Christ, obviously.

00:34:41.080 --> 00:34:47.160
 So the Bible here is saying that Melchizedek is greater than Abraham, right?

00:34:47.160 --> 00:34:51.280
 Because Abraham, you know, Melchizedek isn't showing up and giving ties to Abraham, even

00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:52.770
 though he's the father of faith.

00:34:52.770 --> 00:34:58.430
 No, he shows up, you know, and Abraham's given him, given him ties, right?

00:34:58.430 --> 00:35:03.170
 You know, and it's like, it makes a lot of sense if it's Jesus Christ.

00:35:03.170 --> 00:35:06.650
 You know, otherwise, it's just like, you know, is he just like the most interesting man in

00:35:06.650 --> 00:35:07.640
 the world?

00:35:07.640 --> 00:35:09.460
 You know, he shows up and Abraham gives him ties.

00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:13.390
 It's like, what are we dealing with here?

00:35:13.390 --> 00:35:18.750
 And so, you know, that's another big point is that Abraham is tithing to him, right?

00:35:18.750 --> 00:35:23.810
 Instead of the, you know, set the other way around or they're not being tithed at all.

00:35:23.810 --> 00:35:28.610
 And so, you know, in my opinion, it just kind of lends itself towards the idea that Melchizedek

00:35:28.610 --> 00:35:29.590
 is Jesus.

00:35:29.590 --> 00:35:31.090
 Look at, let's continue on verse number five.

00:35:31.090 --> 00:35:36.340
 It says, "And verily, they that are of the sons of Levi, who received the office of

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:41.850
 the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law

00:35:41.850 --> 00:35:47.830
 that is of their brethren, though they came out of the loins of Abraham."

00:35:47.830 --> 00:35:53.360
 And so, you know, the Levites are, you know, descendant from Abraham.

00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:58.370
 That's why, you know, they're getting the tithe collected to the Levites because they're,

00:35:58.370 --> 00:36:00.020
 you know, they're part of Abraham, right?

00:36:00.020 --> 00:36:05.110
 But then Melchizedek, he's not part of Abraham, but he gets the tithes from Abraham, right?

00:36:05.110 --> 00:36:08.960
 So he's like a level above, he's like supersedes Abraham.

00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:16.820
 It says, "But he whose descendants is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:20.470
 and blessed him that had the promises."

00:36:20.470 --> 00:36:25.790
 Now, to me, verse number six here is very significant, right?

00:36:25.790 --> 00:36:26.900
 Let's just read it again here real quick.

00:36:26.900 --> 00:36:34.840
 It says, "But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham," notice

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:39.230
 this, "and blessed him that had the promises."

00:36:39.230 --> 00:36:43.120
 So who is blessing who at the end of the verse there?

00:36:43.120 --> 00:36:48.620
 Melchizedek is blessing Abraham, right?

00:36:48.620 --> 00:36:53.760
 Now go ahead and turn to Genesis chapter number 12.

00:36:53.760 --> 00:37:01.240
 And I believe that this is very significant because it says, "And blessed Abraham," right?

00:37:01.240 --> 00:37:03.650
 Melchizedek is blessing Abraham.

00:37:03.650 --> 00:37:10.570
 And Abraham is very famous for receiving a blessing, is he not?

00:37:10.570 --> 00:37:12.980
 Let's read about the blessing of Abraham.

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:18.660
 It says here in Genesis chapter number 12, it says, "And now the Lord has said unto Abram,

00:37:18.660 --> 00:37:23.330
 Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that

00:37:23.330 --> 00:37:29.030
 I will show thee, and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and

00:37:29.030 --> 00:37:34.400
 make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing, and I will bless them that bless thee and

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:39.770
 curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

00:37:39.770 --> 00:37:41.500
 Right?

00:37:41.500 --> 00:37:47.480
 So God is telling Abraham, look, I'm going to, I'm going to bless thee, right?

00:37:47.480 --> 00:37:52.300
 So God is the one that is blessing Abraham, amen?

00:37:52.300 --> 00:37:58.260
 And again, in Hebrews 6 here, who is blessing Abraham?

00:37:58.260 --> 00:38:00.670
 Melchizedek is blessing Abraham, right?

00:38:00.670 --> 00:38:06.030
 And I think that's very significant, that Melchizedek is blessing Abraham, and then

00:38:06.030 --> 00:38:08.100
 in Genesis 12, God is blessing Abraham.

00:38:08.100 --> 00:38:14.330
 So I believe that Melchizedek is Jesus, you know, blessed, is the one who's blessing Abraham,

00:38:14.330 --> 00:38:15.320
 right?

00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:20.100
 So, you know, I think that the reason why Abraham is, he's blessed Abraham is because

00:38:20.100 --> 00:38:24.590
 Melchizedek, Jesus Christ, is giving him that blessing, amen?

00:38:24.590 --> 00:38:25.570
 Why?

00:38:25.570 --> 00:38:32.220
 Because, I mean, we see he's receiving the blessing here in Hebrews chapter number seven,

00:38:32.220 --> 00:38:38.160
 and what is the big famous blessing that Abraham is known for, right here in Genesis chapter

00:38:38.160 --> 00:38:39.150
 number 12?

00:38:39.150 --> 00:38:41.830
 So to me, it just makes sense, right?

00:38:41.830 --> 00:38:49.550
 That Melchizedek is God, and he's going to show up and he's going to bless Abraham and

00:38:49.550 --> 00:38:51.130
 give him that blessing.

00:38:51.130 --> 00:38:52.200
 And you know, guess what?

00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:55.920
 In Genesis chapter number 12, you know, it's just two chapters later, Melchizedek is showing

00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.710
 up and blessing him, right?

00:38:59.710 --> 00:39:08.500
 So it, again, it just lends itself towards the idea that Melchizedek is Jesus.

00:39:08.500 --> 00:39:13.790
 Verse number back in Hebrews chapter number seven, it says, "And without all contradiction,

00:39:13.790 --> 00:39:17.200
 the less is blessed of the better," right?

00:39:17.200 --> 00:39:24.270
 Again here, the less, that's Abraham, is blessed of the better, right?

00:39:24.270 --> 00:39:28.910
 Now, you know, there are times in the Bible where God will just come out and say that

00:39:28.910 --> 00:39:33.360
 one person is better than another person, you know, kind of like when God said, "Hey,

00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:36.920
 I'm going to take the kingdom away from you, Saul, and give it to somebody who is thy neighbor

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:39.340
 who is better than you, David," right?

00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:45.940
 So there are situations where this happens in the Bible, you know, but again, you know,

00:39:45.940 --> 00:39:48.220
 we're not talking about Saul here.

00:39:48.220 --> 00:39:49.130
 We're talking about Abraham.

00:39:49.130 --> 00:39:54.100
 Now look, Abraham had his mistakes, he had his problems, you know, he did a couple of

00:39:54.100 --> 00:39:58.510
 dumb things, you know, he's going over to Egypt and he's telling people that he married

00:39:58.510 --> 00:40:04.800
 his sister and that he's from Alabama and whatnot, but, you know, he had his issues,

00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:08.880
 but Abraham was a great guy, he was a great godly guy, you know what?

00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:15.530
 And so David was, David also had his issues and God said that he's, you know, better than

00:40:15.530 --> 00:40:21.640
 Saul, you know, and Abraham, he, you know, if you just kind of look at Abraham's life,

00:40:21.640 --> 00:40:26.560
 I think he was kind of better than David, I mean, he had a lot fewer mistakes, right?

00:40:26.560 --> 00:40:30.450
 I mean, his mistakes weren't as catastrophic as David's mistakes were.

00:40:30.450 --> 00:40:35.110
 So I kind of think that Abraham's even better than David, but then you got somebody who's

00:40:35.110 --> 00:40:37.900
 even better than Abraham, right?

00:40:37.900 --> 00:40:43.340
 And so, you know, but, you know, either this guy was just awesome, either this guy was

00:40:43.340 --> 00:40:48.580
 like Job on steroids, you know, or it's Jesus Christ.

00:40:48.580 --> 00:40:55.110
 And to me, again, it just flows and it fits a lot easier if it is Jesus Christ.

00:40:55.110 --> 00:41:02.550
 For some reason, it says, "And here men that die receives tithes, but there he received

00:41:02.550 --> 00:41:07.410
 them of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

00:41:07.410 --> 00:41:15.580
 And as I may so say, Levi also, who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

00:41:15.580 --> 00:41:22.020
 For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him, if therefore perfection

00:41:22.020 --> 00:41:28.430
 were by the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received the law, what further

00:41:28.430 --> 00:41:34.940
 need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek and not

00:41:34.940 --> 00:41:39.640
 be called after the order of Aaron?

00:41:39.640 --> 00:41:43.890
 And you know, another major theme in this chapter, you know, we're talking about, we're

00:41:43.890 --> 00:41:48.860
 talking a lot about Melchizedek, but a large theme of this chapter, you know, is basically

00:41:48.860 --> 00:41:53.660
 contrasting the Levitical priesthood with the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:41:53.660 --> 00:41:57.840
 And the thing about that is, is that what the Bible says here is absolutely true, is

00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:04.770
 that if there were something, if the Levitical priesthood was actually good, like if it was

00:42:04.770 --> 00:42:09.480
 actually doing its job and there wasn't a problem with it, then we wouldn't have needed

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:12.500
 the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:42:12.500 --> 00:42:16.350
 And you know, the thing about that is, is that the Levitical priesthood, the point of

00:42:16.350 --> 00:42:19.560
 it was to point towards Jesus Christ, right?

00:42:19.560 --> 00:42:24.070
 And so I would say that the point of the Levitical priesthood was the point to the priesthood

00:42:24.070 --> 00:42:26.150
 of Melchizedek, right?

00:42:26.150 --> 00:42:30.240
 Because that's the priesthood of Jesus Christ, right?

00:42:30.240 --> 00:42:34.680
 And so, you know, of course, that's a large theme of the book of Hebrews is to say, "Hey,

00:42:34.680 --> 00:42:39.860
 look, this Old Testament that we had, you know, it was there for a reason.

00:42:39.860 --> 00:42:40.850
 But guess what?

00:42:40.850 --> 00:42:42.920
 The reason came, and that's Jesus Christ.

00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:48.430
 You know, we had all of these animal sacrifices in the Old Testament for a reason, but those

00:42:48.430 --> 00:42:53.940
 Old Testament sacrifices were supposed to be a picture of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:58.390
 You know, we had all these burnt offerings in the Old Testament, but what those burnt

00:42:58.390 --> 00:43:03.860
 offerings were supposed to represent was the burnt offering of Jesus Christ dying and paying

00:43:03.860 --> 00:43:04.980
 for our sins in hell.

00:43:04.980 --> 00:43:09.130
 All right, so this is kind of a major theme of the book of Hebrews, illustrated here in

00:43:09.130 --> 00:43:10.110
 verse number 11.

00:43:10.110 --> 00:43:17.900
 And it's like, look, you know, the priesthood of Melchizedek, you know, it existed before

00:43:17.900 --> 00:43:21.860
 the Levitical priesthood and exists after the Levitical priesthood because that's the

00:43:21.860 --> 00:43:24.730
 priesthood that actually gets us saved.

00:43:24.730 --> 00:43:30.700
 Again, the Levitical priesthood was biblical and it was supposed to be there, but the Levitical

00:43:30.700 --> 00:43:35.280
 priesthood didn't actually save anybody in and of itself.

00:43:35.280 --> 00:43:40.750
 What it did was point to what does save people and what does save people is the death, burial

00:43:40.750 --> 00:43:43.880
 and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:50.080
 What does save people is the priesthood of Melchizedek because, you know, we have not

00:43:50.080 --> 00:43:54.340
 in high priesthood, which cannot be felt with the feeling of our infirmity, but was in all

00:43:54.340 --> 00:43:58.880
 tempted at all points like as we are, yet without sin.

00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:02.390
 You know what the problem with the levitical priesthood was?

00:44:02.390 --> 00:44:05.280
 Is that they had sinners operating it.

00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:10.000
 But our high priest, he was without sin.

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:12.570
 After the priesthood of Melchizedek, he was without sin.

00:44:12.570 --> 00:44:19.710
 And so, you know, that's the priesthood that's actually saving is our high priest Jesus Christ.

00:44:19.710 --> 00:44:22.640
 And so, you know, again, we're making a divide.

00:44:22.640 --> 00:44:27.230
 We're making a difference here between the Levitical priesthood, which perished and has

00:44:27.230 --> 00:44:33.480
 gone away, and the Melchizedek priesthood, which is operated by Jesus Christ.

00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:37.550
 And He ever liveth and maketh intercession for us in heaven right now.

00:44:37.550 --> 00:44:42.800
 And so, you know, again, we don't have to worry about, you know, some old priest croaking

00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:43.780
 and dying.

00:44:43.780 --> 00:44:45.810
 Oh, I got to get a new one or whatever like the Catholics do.

00:44:45.810 --> 00:44:50.900
 You know, maybe they need to come in and read the book of, you know, read the book of the

00:44:50.900 --> 00:44:53.270
 book of Hebrews here because they can learn a lot.

00:44:53.270 --> 00:44:57.030
 You know, they got other priests over there and it's like, you know, your whole, your

00:44:57.030 --> 00:44:59.600
 whole thing is just completely unbiblical.

00:44:59.600 --> 00:45:03.720
 You know, there's one high priest, you know, there's one mediator between God and man,

00:45:03.720 --> 00:45:08.070
 the man Christ Jesus, you know, you need to stop worshipping Mary and you need to get

00:45:08.070 --> 00:45:12.890
 off of this, this, this weird doctrine of, well, you know, the authority of the Catholic

00:45:12.890 --> 00:45:13.880
 church.

00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:17.880
 You know, me and Jake, we ran into this militant Catholic today and he's like, well, who's

00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:18.850
 the authority?

00:45:18.850 --> 00:45:19.820
 And we're like, the Bible.

00:45:19.820 --> 00:45:21.440
 He's like, the Bible?

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:23.690
 You know, I was like, oh, you're Catholic.

00:45:23.690 --> 00:45:25.110
 He's like, of course I'm Catholic.

00:45:25.110 --> 00:45:27.640
 I was like, yeah, you know, I could tell.

00:45:27.640 --> 00:45:32.630
 I could tell you're Catholic, you know, but yeah, it was a good thing that conversation

00:45:32.630 --> 00:45:36.600
 ended when it did because, yeah, I don't know, I just straight up, I was like, if I could

00:45:36.600 --> 00:45:40.690
 prove to you that the Bible says that salvation is by grace your faith, would you believe

00:45:40.690 --> 00:45:41.680
 it?

00:45:41.680 --> 00:45:42.670
 And he was like, you can't prove it.

00:45:42.670 --> 00:45:43.670
 I was like, all right, then we're leaving.

00:45:43.670 --> 00:45:44.730
 You can't leave?

00:45:44.730 --> 00:45:45.690
 I was like, what?

00:45:45.690 --> 00:45:47.850
 This is ridiculous.

00:45:47.850 --> 00:45:54.670
 It was, I don't know, that was crazy, but you know, they need to get rid of their,

00:45:54.670 --> 00:45:57.870
 the Catholic church, they need to get rid of all their pedophile priests.

00:45:57.870 --> 00:46:01.460
 And they need to get on the priesthood of Melchizedek, right?

00:46:01.460 --> 00:46:03.450
 And you know what?

00:46:03.450 --> 00:46:06.200
 All their priests that they have, they're all fake anyway, because they're not actual

00:46:06.200 --> 00:46:07.780
 priests.

00:46:07.780 --> 00:46:08.710
 Because guess what?

00:46:08.710 --> 00:46:09.870
 Who's priests?

00:46:09.870 --> 00:46:13.680
 People that are saved, people that have put their faith in Jesus Christ, those are actual

00:46:13.680 --> 00:46:14.670
 priests.

00:46:14.670 --> 00:46:16.950
 Because that's what the, you know, you know where, you know where I get the authority

00:46:16.950 --> 00:46:18.260
 to say that?

00:46:18.260 --> 00:46:19.260
 Because that's what the Bible said.

00:46:19.260 --> 00:46:20.250
 The Bible's my authority.

00:46:20.250 --> 00:46:22.560
 Why is the Bible my authority, you ask?

00:46:22.560 --> 00:46:25.220
 Because I believe in the authority of Jesus Christ.

00:46:25.220 --> 00:46:26.210
 That's why.

00:46:26.210 --> 00:46:27.210
 Because what?

00:46:27.210 --> 00:46:28.360
 Jesus is the Word, right?

00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:30.510
 And so the Bible is Jesus Christ.

00:46:30.510 --> 00:46:32.450
 That's my authority, my friend.

00:46:32.450 --> 00:46:34.550
 And who's in charge of the church?

00:46:34.550 --> 00:46:35.900
 Who's the head of the church?

00:46:35.900 --> 00:46:37.560
 Jesus Christ.

00:46:37.560 --> 00:46:41.930
 That's why I believe in sola scriptura, because I believe that Christ is the head of the church.

00:46:41.930 --> 00:46:44.350
 I don't know what the Catholics believe about that.

00:46:44.350 --> 00:46:47.530
 Apparently, they got their pope as the head of the church.

00:46:47.530 --> 00:46:49.910
 And so they're basically running around like a chicken with their head cut off with all

00:46:49.910 --> 00:46:51.170
 their weird doctrine.

00:46:51.170 --> 00:46:52.290
 Why?

00:46:52.290 --> 00:46:53.510
 Because they don't have a good head.

00:46:53.510 --> 00:46:58.790
 It's like they miss with the axe and the chickens run around and I'm going to get too graphic

00:46:58.790 --> 00:46:59.770
 there.

00:46:59.770 --> 00:47:03.120
 But anyways, they don't have the right head, right?

00:47:03.120 --> 00:47:05.290
 They don't have the right authority.

00:47:05.290 --> 00:47:09.860
 The biblical authority is such an important doctrine because if you screw that up, you

00:47:09.860 --> 00:47:10.810
 know what's funny?

00:47:10.810 --> 00:47:16.000
 I was showing everybody, I was showing people a little screenshot that I took of like a

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.560
 diagram of like, you know, what kind of a Christian are you, right?

00:47:19.560 --> 00:47:25.960
 And the first question is, does the Bible have more authority than the church?

00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:30.170
 And based on that one question, you know, it'll either send you into like normal questions

00:47:30.170 --> 00:47:35.510
 that normal people would ask, or into just weird, it's like the purgatory of weird questions

00:47:35.510 --> 00:47:40.320
 that nobody's ever even thought of before, except for weird, you know, weird Catholic

00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:44.140
 monks, where they're coming up with all these weird things, like, how can we differentiate

00:47:44.140 --> 00:47:49.550
 ourselves from the Orthodox, you know, and basically, if you answered the church has

00:47:49.550 --> 00:47:54.190
 more authority than the Bible, you're like, all right, where does the Spirit of God proceed

00:47:54.190 --> 00:47:55.180
 from?

00:47:55.180 --> 00:47:59.500
 Does it proceed from the Father or both the Father and the Son?

00:47:59.500 --> 00:48:01.970
 Better not get this wrong, otherwise you're a hair tick.

00:48:01.970 --> 00:48:03.950
 It's like, what?

00:48:03.950 --> 00:48:06.120
 Nobody's ever thought of that before.

00:48:06.120 --> 00:48:09.570
 But if you answer the question right, and you say the Bible has more authority than

00:48:09.570 --> 00:48:14.950
 the church because Christ is the head of the church, then you get normal questions like

00:48:14.950 --> 00:48:19.080
 baptismal, does baptism save you?

00:48:19.080 --> 00:48:20.310
 Isn't that kind of a normal question?

00:48:20.310 --> 00:48:24.300
 Isn't that a question you find yourself answering at the door?

00:48:24.300 --> 00:48:26.490
 You know, does baptism save you?

00:48:26.490 --> 00:48:28.200
 That's a normal question, right?

00:48:28.200 --> 00:48:33.870
 I mean, has anybody ever had the question, you know, of where does the Holy Spirit come

00:48:33.870 --> 00:48:34.860
 from?

00:48:34.860 --> 00:48:35.860
 Does it come from the Father?

00:48:35.860 --> 00:48:36.860
 Does it come from Jesus Christ?

00:48:36.860 --> 00:48:37.850
 Or both?

00:48:37.850 --> 00:48:39.530
 Like, has anybody ever had that question out soul winning?

00:48:39.530 --> 00:48:42.280
 No, because that's the purgatory of questions.

00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:44.590
 That's like, what in the world?

00:48:44.590 --> 00:48:47.200
 Who even came up with that?

00:48:47.200 --> 00:48:48.140
 What?

00:48:48.140 --> 00:48:49.390
 Nobody's ever thought of that.

00:48:49.390 --> 00:48:52.990
 And you know, there's probably not even a real answer to that question.

00:48:52.990 --> 00:48:58.040
 You know, the Catholics are over there asking themselves questions with no answers, whereas

00:48:58.040 --> 00:49:01.880
 we're asking questions that have definite answers because you could find them in the

00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:03.120
 Bible.

00:49:03.120 --> 00:49:04.070
 Amen.

00:49:04.070 --> 00:49:05.030
 All right.

00:49:05.030 --> 00:49:07.260
 But anyways, I just, I had to get that off my chest.

00:49:07.260 --> 00:49:10.930
 I mean, that guy was so crazy, like he was trying to keep us from leaving and then when

00:49:10.930 --> 00:49:14.610
 we finally left, he was like, "We'll have a good life."

00:49:14.610 --> 00:49:18.920
 And Jake is like, "Yeah, it's eternal."

00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:20.400
 Gonna be great.

00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:21.350
 Oh, all right.

00:49:21.350 --> 00:49:22.310
 Well anyways, where was I?

00:49:22.310 --> 00:49:24.340
 I don't even know where I was.

00:49:24.340 --> 00:49:25.310
 What verse am I in?

00:49:25.310 --> 00:49:31.800
 Does anyone know what verse I'm in?

00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:33.790
 Yeah, I was farther than that.

00:49:33.790 --> 00:49:34.750
 I think I'm in verse 11.

00:49:34.750 --> 00:49:36.900
 We're gonna go to verse number 12.

00:49:36.900 --> 00:49:42.850
 It says, "For the priesthood being changed," meaning we don't have priests that run around

00:49:42.850 --> 00:49:47.500
 listening to all of your disgusting sins, "For the priesthood being changed," and by

00:49:47.500 --> 00:49:52.440
 the way, that didn't exist in the Old Testament, just to clarify what I said there, "The priesthood

00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:58.170
 being changed," meaning we don't have the Levitical priesthood anymore and having priests

00:49:58.170 --> 00:50:03.730
 in your church that are listening to people's sins is completely unbiblical.

00:50:03.730 --> 00:50:09.550
 But anyway, "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of a necessity a change also

00:50:09.550 --> 00:50:10.540
 of the law."

00:50:10.540 --> 00:50:14.180
 Now this is, I just kind of wanted to park it here for a second, because this is a very

00:50:14.180 --> 00:50:15.660
 interesting verse to me.

00:50:15.660 --> 00:50:20.630
 And this verse, I would say probably played a pretty big role in me even getting saved

00:50:20.630 --> 00:50:26.490
 in the first place and becoming a fundamental Baptist in the first place, because I have

00:50:26.490 --> 00:50:31.560
 an uncle that got into something called the Hebrew Roots movement.

00:50:31.560 --> 00:50:35.770
 And basically they say that you got to keep avoiding shellfish and you got to keep avoiding

00:50:35.770 --> 00:50:44.560
 pig, you know, don't hang out with Rosie O'Donnell too much, and observing the Sabbath and keeping

00:50:44.560 --> 00:50:47.820
 all the Old Testament feasts, right?

00:50:47.820 --> 00:50:54.420
 So basically they want to have the Old Testament in the New Testament, right?

00:50:54.420 --> 00:50:59.100
 Because they're just like, "Well, we keep the Sabbath and we just keep all the Old Testament

00:50:59.100 --> 00:51:05.260
 laws except for the sacrifices," which was kind of a major part of the Old Testament

00:51:05.260 --> 00:51:06.450
 laws.

00:51:06.450 --> 00:51:10.900
 But anyway, they're like selectively keeping all these Old Testament laws that are clearly

00:51:10.900 --> 00:51:18.640
 done away within Christ, you know, such as the Sabbath and the meats and divers washings.

00:51:18.640 --> 00:51:20.270
 But they want to keep all of that, right?

00:51:20.270 --> 00:51:25.190
 And they're like, "Well, the laws don't change.

00:51:25.190 --> 00:51:28.410
 There's no change, nothing has changed in the New Testament."

00:51:28.410 --> 00:51:33.790
 But the thing is about it is, though, is that there is made of necessity a change also of

00:51:33.790 --> 00:51:35.430
 the law, right?

00:51:35.430 --> 00:51:38.550
 And the Bible is very clear here.

00:51:38.550 --> 00:51:41.830
 And so, you know, my uncle getting into that, that played a major part in me becoming a

00:51:41.830 --> 00:51:45.270
 fundamental Baptist because, you know, we, you know, me and my dad, we listened to the

00:51:45.270 --> 00:51:51.660
 sermon by Pastor Anderson called the Hebrews Move and Exposed, part one and two.

00:51:51.660 --> 00:51:54.670
 And this was one of the verses that was brought up in that.

00:51:54.670 --> 00:51:59.550
 And it's like, hello, you know, clearly there's a, there is the change that has been made

00:51:59.550 --> 00:52:02.060
 to the law, right?

00:52:02.060 --> 00:52:03.100
 Why?

00:52:03.100 --> 00:52:07.790
 Well, you know, the Old Testament law, first of all, it wasn't even always there.

00:52:07.790 --> 00:52:14.160
 You know, when it was, when Abraham, you know, was there, they didn't have the Levitical

00:52:14.160 --> 00:52:15.140
 priesthood, did they?

00:52:15.140 --> 00:52:16.650
 Why?

00:52:16.650 --> 00:52:20.590
 Well, I mean, by the name, you know, that it came from the tribe of Levi, which came

00:52:20.590 --> 00:52:22.320
 much later, right?

00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:28.350
 And so, you know, the Levitical law wasn't always there.

00:52:28.350 --> 00:52:32.970
 So it came into existence at one point, and then it's done away with in Christ, right?

00:52:32.970 --> 00:52:36.270
 And we see here that it's done away in the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:52:36.270 --> 00:52:39.210
 When the priesthood of Melchizedek takes over, guess what?

00:52:39.210 --> 00:52:43.220
 There's made of necessity a change also of the law.

00:52:43.220 --> 00:52:46.740
 So God's law has changed, right?

00:52:46.740 --> 00:52:50.690
 Now we know that God himself, he doesn't change, but guess what?

00:52:50.690 --> 00:52:55.240
 He told us there's been a change made to the law.

00:52:55.240 --> 00:53:00.570
 And so the law, God's law has not always been just this monolithic thing that has never

00:53:00.570 --> 00:53:04.420
 changed ever, because it clearly has.

00:53:04.420 --> 00:53:07.600
 And you know what, the Hebrew Ruth movements, they're wrong, but guess what?

00:53:07.600 --> 00:53:10.960
 The Seventh-day Adventists are wrong, okay?

00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:15.920
 They believe in all this, you know, keeping the Old Testament stuff, but they don't realize

00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:17.990
 that there's been a change made to the law.

00:53:17.990 --> 00:53:19.860
 They're wrong about the Sabbath.

00:53:19.860 --> 00:53:22.310
 They're still trying to keep the Sabbath, and guess what?

00:53:22.310 --> 00:53:26.580
 By trying to keep the Sabbath to earn their salvation, they've actually rejected what

00:53:26.580 --> 00:53:28.910
 the Sabbath actually is.

00:53:28.910 --> 00:53:32.170
 And because, you know, and I've preached on that many times, so I'm just, I'm going to,

00:53:32.170 --> 00:53:36.140
 I'm going to get off my hobby horse there and we're going to move on.

00:53:36.140 --> 00:53:40.120
 But you know, when the hobby horse pops up, you just got to get on it for a second, okay?

00:53:40.120 --> 00:53:42.070
 You know, that's just, that's just how it is.

00:53:42.070 --> 00:53:43.510
 All right.

00:53:43.510 --> 00:53:48.530
 So verse number 13, it says, "For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another

00:53:48.530 --> 00:53:53.190
 tribe of which no man gave attendance at the altar."

00:53:53.190 --> 00:53:56.630
 You know, so when they're at the altar, you know, these were all Levites that were, that

00:53:56.630 --> 00:54:03.050
 were heading up to the altar, but you know, this other tribe, nobody ever, you know, they

00:54:03.050 --> 00:54:06.370
 weren't, they weren't making sacrifices at the altar from that tribe.

00:54:06.370 --> 00:54:07.350
 Why?

00:54:07.350 --> 00:54:12.750
 Because it wasn't even one of the tribes, you know, Melchizedek originally wasn't from

00:54:12.750 --> 00:54:17.910
 one of those tribes, you know, eventually, hey, he came from the line of Judah, we know,

00:54:17.910 --> 00:54:22.850
 but he wasn't, the big deal that's made in this verse is that he's not from the line

00:54:22.850 --> 00:54:24.710
 of Levi, right?

00:54:24.710 --> 00:54:30.040
 And in the Old Testament, and we'll get to this later in the chapter, but in the Old

00:54:30.040 --> 00:54:36.060
 Testament, that was, you know, the Levitical tribe, or that was the priesthood tribe.

00:54:36.060 --> 00:54:41.220
 You know, if you were not part of the tribe of Levi, you were not supposed to be a high

00:54:41.220 --> 00:54:42.210
 priest.

00:54:42.210 --> 00:54:43.200
 You were not supposed to be one of the priests.

00:54:43.200 --> 00:54:46.200
 You had to be of the tribe of Levi in the Old Testament.

00:54:46.200 --> 00:54:47.990
 But guess what?

00:54:47.990 --> 00:54:50.550
 Old male Chisatec, he wasn't part of that tribe.

00:54:50.550 --> 00:54:53.230
 He was out of a different tribe, right?

00:54:53.230 --> 00:54:56.480
 And so, you know, he's kind of above that Levitical priesthood.

00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:58.080
 Again, let's see here.

00:54:58.080 --> 00:55:00.610
 And I forgot what verse I'm in.

00:55:00.610 --> 00:55:03.040
 I need to do a better job of keeping track.

00:55:03.040 --> 00:55:04.970
 When it's like a large section of scripture is hard.

00:55:04.970 --> 00:55:05.790
 What was it?

00:55:05.790 --> 00:55:06.750
 - Thirteen.

00:55:06.750 --> 00:55:07.580
 - Thirteen, okay.

00:55:07.580 --> 00:55:08.400
 Let's see here.

00:55:08.400 --> 00:55:09.210
 Verse number fourteen, it says,

00:55:09.210 --> 00:55:12.260
 "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah,

00:55:12.260 --> 00:55:15.540
 which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning the priesthood."

00:55:15.540 --> 00:55:17.840
 Again, that's kind of what I just reiterated there.

00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:21.140
 It says, "It is yet far more evident

00:55:21.140 --> 00:55:24.430
 for that after the similitude of Melchizedek,

00:55:24.430 --> 00:55:26.810
 there ariseth another priest,

00:55:26.810 --> 00:55:31.450
 who is made not after the law of a carnal commandment,

00:55:31.450 --> 00:55:34.320
 but after the power of an endless life.

00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:38.290
 For he testified that thou art a priest forever

00:55:38.290 --> 00:55:40.540
 after the order of Melchizedek.

00:55:40.540 --> 00:55:44.550
 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment

00:55:44.550 --> 00:55:48.140
 going before the weakness of, excuse me,

00:55:48.140 --> 00:55:50.330
 and unprofitableness thereof.

00:55:50.330 --> 00:55:53.030
 For the law made nothing perfect,

00:55:53.030 --> 00:55:57.210
 but the bringing in of a better hope did,

00:55:57.210 --> 00:56:00.270
 by the which we draw an eye unto God.

00:56:00.270 --> 00:56:02.610
 Inasmuch as not without an oath,

00:56:02.610 --> 00:56:04.910
 he was made a priest.

00:56:04.910 --> 00:56:08.120
 For those priests were made without an oath,

00:56:08.120 --> 00:56:11.970
 but this with an oath by him that said unto him,

00:56:11.970 --> 00:56:15.270
 the Lord swear and will not repent,

00:56:15.270 --> 00:56:20.230
 thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

00:56:20.230 --> 00:56:25.370
 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

00:56:25.370 --> 00:56:29.010
 And so we see here that Jesus,

00:56:29.010 --> 00:56:32.750
 he's, you know, basically it's making it clear

00:56:32.750 --> 00:56:36.320
 that, you know, Jesus, he was already a priest

00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:39.830
 out of the order of Melchizedek, right?

00:56:39.830 --> 00:56:41.210
 It's not like when he came,

00:56:41.210 --> 00:56:44.410
 then he became a priest after the order of Melchizedek.

00:56:44.410 --> 00:56:47.560
 And we'll see that,

00:56:47.560 --> 00:56:49.670
 believe that's also mentioned in Psalm 110,

00:56:49.670 --> 00:56:51.710
 which we'll be going to here shortly.

00:56:51.710 --> 00:56:54.310
 But it says, verse number 23, it says,

00:56:54.310 --> 00:56:57.910
 and they truly were made priests

00:56:57.910 --> 00:57:00.190
 because they were not suffered

00:57:00.190 --> 00:57:02.340
 to continue by reason of death.

00:57:02.340 --> 00:57:06.940
 But this man, because he continueth ever,

00:57:06.940 --> 00:57:09.880
 hath an unchangeable priesthood,

00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:14.270
 wherefore he is able also to save them to the outermost

00:57:14.270 --> 00:57:16.090
 that come unto God by him,

00:57:16.090 --> 00:57:19.100
 seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

00:57:19.100 --> 00:57:22.150
 So, again, in verse number 24,

00:57:22.150 --> 00:57:25.180
 it says that this is an unchangeable priesthood.

00:57:25.180 --> 00:57:30.720
 And to me, it makes sense that if Jesus is Melchizedek,

00:57:30.720 --> 00:57:34.060
 then it would be an unchangeable priesthood

00:57:34.060 --> 00:57:36.770
 because he's the only one that's ever that priest.

00:57:36.770 --> 00:57:39.070
 Now, if it was like the Levigal priesthood

00:57:39.070 --> 00:57:41.780
 where we have this priesthood of Melchizedek,

00:57:41.780 --> 00:57:45.030
 but then the guy dies every so often

00:57:45.030 --> 00:57:49.640
 and we gotta replace him with another priest,

00:57:49.640 --> 00:57:54.170
 then to me, that's like the priesthood changing hands.

00:57:54.170 --> 00:57:56.460
 So it's like a changeable priesthood.

00:57:56.460 --> 00:57:59.250
 But if it's Jesus Christ, makes sense.

00:57:59.250 --> 00:58:01.270
 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

00:58:01.270 --> 00:58:03.830
 So it's not a changing priesthood.

00:58:03.830 --> 00:58:06.240
 It just stays the same.

00:58:06.240 --> 00:58:07.310
 It stays the same the whole time.

00:58:07.310 --> 00:58:09.800
 There's no change going on.

00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:11.880
 Ah, let's see here for verse number 26.

00:58:11.880 --> 00:58:15.550
 For such and a high priest became us,

00:58:15.550 --> 00:58:20.610
 who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners,

00:58:20.610 --> 00:58:24.620
 and made higher than the heavens.

00:58:24.620 --> 00:58:26.510
 And verse number 26 here,

00:58:26.510 --> 00:58:30.770
 I think this is a significant verse also,

00:58:30.770 --> 00:58:35.330
 'cause it says, "For such and a high priest became us."

00:58:35.330 --> 00:58:37.090
 So, you know, what is that?

00:58:37.090 --> 00:58:41.100
 What does it mean by such and a high priest became us?

00:58:41.100 --> 00:58:42.720
 Well, I believe that's talking about the fact

00:58:42.720 --> 00:58:45.690
 that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

00:58:45.690 --> 00:58:47.840
 I mean, God took on human form.

00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:49.820
 That's the miracle of Christmas, right?

00:58:49.820 --> 00:58:52.370
 That God became a man,

00:58:52.370 --> 00:58:54.710
 and that He's, you know, He's 100% man

00:58:54.710 --> 00:58:57.380
 and 100% God at the same time.

00:58:57.380 --> 00:58:59.430
 And what's the fancy word for that?

00:58:59.430 --> 00:59:01.590
 The hyperstatic union.

00:59:01.590 --> 00:59:04.390
 Yeah, I'm an intellectual now, you guys watch out.

00:59:04.390 --> 00:59:07.760
 But yeah, you know, it's the hyperstatic union.

00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:11.090
 Is that what the hyperstatic union is, or 100% God?

00:59:11.090 --> 00:59:12.820
 Okay, yeah, that's the hyperstatic union.

00:59:12.820 --> 00:59:15.210
 I know what I'm, I know my Catholic doctrine.

00:59:15.210 --> 00:59:21.610
 But anyways, I mean, so that's the miracle of Christmas

00:59:21.610 --> 00:59:26.590
 is that Jesus Christ became a human being, right?

00:59:26.590 --> 00:59:28.590
 And so it says, verse number 26,

00:59:28.590 --> 00:59:32.540
 "For such an high priest became us."

00:59:32.540 --> 00:59:37.510
 So he was that high priest before he became us, right?

00:59:37.510 --> 00:59:40.080
 So it's not like Jesus Christ became a priest

00:59:40.080 --> 00:59:44.650
 of the order of Melchizedek when he was born

00:59:44.650 --> 00:59:46.160
 or when he was crucified.

00:59:46.160 --> 00:59:50.340
 No, because he, for such a high priest became us.

00:59:50.340 --> 00:59:54.610
 So, and to me, this, I don't know,

00:59:54.610 --> 00:59:57.350
 to me, verse number 26 is even stronger

00:59:57.350 --> 01:00:00.280
 than the verse number three, in my opinion.

01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:02.480
 To me, this kind of puts the nail in the coffin,

01:00:02.480 --> 01:00:03.850
 because, I mean, we're still talking

01:00:03.850 --> 01:00:05.760
 about Melchizedek, right?

01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:08.180
 We're talking about the priest

01:00:08.180 --> 01:00:10.160
 after the order of Melchizedek.

01:00:10.160 --> 01:00:12.800
 And Melchizedek only shows up one time.

01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:14.870
 He's never talked about it anywhere else,

01:00:14.870 --> 01:00:16.200
 you know, in the Old Testament,

01:00:16.200 --> 01:00:20.120
 except for Genesis 14 and Psalm 110.

01:00:20.120 --> 01:00:22.720
 And we're about to see that here in a minute.

01:00:22.720 --> 01:00:24.550
 And so it's like, okay, well, you know,

01:00:24.550 --> 01:00:27.820
 is there like multiple Melchizedek's running around?

01:00:27.820 --> 01:00:29.540
 You know, I don't think so.

01:00:29.540 --> 01:00:31.170
 You know, I think this is Jesus Christ,

01:00:31.170 --> 01:00:32.720
 who is Melchizedek,

01:00:32.720 --> 01:00:36.070
 because he's a priest before he became us,

01:00:36.070 --> 01:00:38.640
 because for such a priest became us,

01:00:38.640 --> 01:00:40.850
 who is holy, harmless, undefiled,

01:00:40.850 --> 01:00:43.930
 separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens.

01:00:43.930 --> 01:00:45.530
 Verse number 27, it says,

01:00:45.530 --> 01:00:49.510
 "Who needeth not daily as those high priests

01:00:49.510 --> 01:00:53.330
 "offered up sacrifice first for his own sins

01:00:53.330 --> 01:00:56.520
 "and then for the people's,

01:00:56.520 --> 01:01:01.450
 "for this he did once when he offered up himself."

01:01:01.450 --> 01:01:03.700
 And again, you know, to me,

01:01:03.700 --> 01:01:06.000
 this is another nail in the coffin.

01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:07.080
 You know, I think there's only supposed to be

01:01:07.080 --> 01:01:09.010
 one nail in the coffin in any, you know,

01:01:09.010 --> 01:01:10.670
 but I've got multiple, okay?

01:01:12.660 --> 01:01:19.060
 Is that he was sinless, this high priest of Melchizedek

01:01:19.060 --> 01:01:22.090
 was sinless, right?

01:01:22.090 --> 01:01:25.530
 And so was there anybody else that was sinless

01:01:25.530 --> 01:01:27.720
 besides Jesus Christ?

01:01:27.720 --> 01:01:29.830
 I mean, was even Job sinless?

01:01:29.830 --> 01:01:31.280
 Absolutely not.

01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:32.250
 Why?

01:01:32.250 --> 01:01:33.870
 The Bible says for all have sinned and come short

01:01:33.870 --> 01:01:35.290
 of the glory of who?

01:01:35.290 --> 01:01:37.290
 Of God.

01:01:37.290 --> 01:01:40.300
 And so again, this high priest,

01:01:40.300 --> 01:01:42.290
 this priesthood of Melchizedek,

01:01:42.290 --> 01:01:44.300
 this has gotta be Jesus Christ.

01:01:44.300 --> 01:01:45.310
 Why?

01:01:45.310 --> 01:01:48.540
 'Cause he's sinless, according to the Bible here.

01:01:48.540 --> 01:01:51.950
 You know, I mean, and honestly, I don't know

01:01:51.950 --> 01:01:54.710
 how you necessarily get around these verses.

01:01:54.710 --> 01:01:58.110
 To me, these are, you know,

01:01:58.110 --> 01:02:00.150
 these are pretty clear verses that are saying,

01:02:00.150 --> 01:02:04.540
 hey, you know, this priest after the order of Melchizedek,

01:02:04.540 --> 01:02:05.870
 you know, this guy's sinless,

01:02:05.870 --> 01:02:07.970
 that means it has to be Jesus, right?

01:02:07.970 --> 01:02:12.120
 So again, I believe that Jesus is Melchizedek.

01:02:12.120 --> 01:02:15.540
 It says, I don't know if I read this already,

01:02:15.540 --> 01:02:17.980
 it says, "For the law maketh men high priests

01:02:17.980 --> 01:02:20.480
 "which have infirmities," right?

01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:24.780
 So, you know, for somebody to be a high priest,

01:02:24.780 --> 01:02:26.400
 you know, a human being,

01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:29.230
 the law has to make them a high priest, right?

01:02:29.230 --> 01:02:30.770
 And the law makes them a high priest,

01:02:30.770 --> 01:02:34.630
 "which have infirmities, but the word of the oath,

01:02:34.630 --> 01:02:37.930
 "which was since the law, makeeth the Son

01:02:37.930 --> 01:02:41.510
 "who is consecrated for evermore."

01:02:41.510 --> 01:02:44.670
 So, you know, in my opinion,

01:02:44.670 --> 01:02:48.470
 that in order for somebody to be a high priest

01:02:48.470 --> 01:02:50.920
 after the order of Melchizedek, they have to be sinless.

01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:53.900
 Why? Because if you have infirmities,

01:02:53.900 --> 01:02:56.750
 that means, and you're a high priest, right,

01:02:56.750 --> 01:02:59.530
 because we do believe in the priesthood of the believer,

01:02:59.530 --> 01:03:02.050
 but for you to be a high priest,

01:03:02.050 --> 01:03:04.480
 you know, you have to be made that after the law,

01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.730
 which is after infirmities.

01:03:06.730 --> 01:03:10.450
 And, you know, here, it's making it clear that, hey,

01:03:10.450 --> 01:03:13.320
 you know, the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek,

01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:17.050
 you know, it's because he doesn't have infirmities, right?

01:03:17.050 --> 01:03:22.530
 So it's contrasting these two high priests, right?

01:03:22.530 --> 01:03:24.920
 You got the high priest of Melchizedek,

01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:26.900
 and you got the Levitical high priest.

01:03:26.900 --> 01:03:29.010
 Now, the Levitical high priest is a human being,

01:03:29.010 --> 01:03:29.830
 and he has sin.

01:03:29.830 --> 01:03:31.840
 He's sinful, right?

01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:34.930
 That's why they have to continually go in

01:03:34.930 --> 01:03:36.950
 and make sacrifice, and they have to make,

01:03:36.950 --> 01:03:38.930
 the high priest had to make a sacrifice for himself

01:03:38.930 --> 01:03:40.790
 before he could make a sacrifice for the nation of Israel,

01:03:40.790 --> 01:03:41.620
 right, why?

01:03:41.620 --> 01:03:43.490
 'Cause he has infirmities, he has sin.

01:03:43.490 --> 01:03:45.710
 Contrasting that with the priesthood of Melchizedek,

01:03:45.710 --> 01:03:48.120
 where, look, the priesthood of Melchizedek,

01:03:48.120 --> 01:03:49.390
 you know, he doesn't have sin.

01:03:49.390 --> 01:03:50.570
 He has no sin.

01:03:50.570 --> 01:03:52.300
 That's why he didn't come from Levi.

01:03:52.300 --> 01:03:55.540
 That's why it's not after the order of Aaron.

01:03:55.540 --> 01:03:58.840
 It's why it's from the tribe of Judah, right?

01:03:58.840 --> 01:03:59.850
 That's why Jesus came from Judah,

01:03:59.850 --> 01:04:03.700
 because it's a different priesthood, and he has no sin.

01:04:03.700 --> 01:04:05.580
 And so it doesn't make sense to me

01:04:05.580 --> 01:04:08.740
 that Melchizedek was just a guy in the Old Testament

01:04:08.740 --> 01:04:12.320
 that showed up to Abraham and collected tithes,

01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:14.890
 because it's telling us, hey, this order of Melchizedek,

01:04:14.890 --> 01:04:17.570
 it's a sinless high priesthood,

01:04:17.570 --> 01:04:21.360
 not one with people that have sin, okay?

01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:24.820
 Go ahead and turn to Psalm chapter number 110,

01:04:24.820 --> 01:04:30.370
 Psalm chapter number 110.

01:04:30.370 --> 01:04:33.490
 And we're probably gonna end it after this,

01:04:33.490 --> 01:04:35.540
 but it said, Psalm number 110,

01:04:35.540 --> 01:04:38.220
 it says, "The Lord said unto my Lord,

01:04:38.220 --> 01:04:40.030
 sit thou at my right hand

01:04:40.030 --> 01:04:43.730
 until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

01:04:43.730 --> 01:04:48.570
 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion.

01:04:48.570 --> 01:04:52.450
 Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

01:04:52.450 --> 01:04:56.290
 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power

01:04:56.290 --> 01:04:58.660
 in the beauties of holiness.

01:04:58.660 --> 01:05:00.930
 From the womb of the mourning,

01:05:00.930 --> 01:05:03.200
 thou hast the dew of thy youth.

01:05:03.200 --> 01:05:06.010
 The Lord has sworn and will not repent

01:05:06.010 --> 01:05:11.500
 that thou art a priest after the order of Melchizedek."

01:05:11.500 --> 01:05:14.170
 So who is a priest after the order of Melchizedek?

01:05:14.170 --> 01:05:15.210
 It's pretty clear to me here

01:05:15.210 --> 01:05:17.510
 that this is talking about Jesus Christ, why?

01:05:17.510 --> 01:05:18.810
 'Cause verse number one says,

01:05:18.810 --> 01:05:21.910
 "And the Lord said unto my Lord,

01:05:21.910 --> 01:05:24.660
 sit thou at my right hand."

01:05:24.660 --> 01:05:27.040
 So this has gotta be Jesus Christ.

01:05:27.040 --> 01:05:27.910
 And by the way,

01:05:27.910 --> 01:05:30.860
 this has gotta be a Trinitarian Jesus Christ.

01:05:30.860 --> 01:05:33.110
 Not a oneness, you know,

01:05:33.110 --> 01:05:36.710
 not what the Mormons believe and the bazillions of gods,

01:05:36.710 --> 01:05:39.760
 not what the, what's-the-faces believe,

01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:42.000
 the Michael the Archangel people.

01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:45.870
 Jehovah's Witness, it's not what the Jehovah's Witnesses say.

01:05:45.870 --> 01:05:47.250
 No, it's what the Baptists say,

01:05:47.250 --> 01:05:48.440
 'cause the Baptists are the ones

01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:51.440
 that have the Trinity correct, my friend, okay?

01:05:51.440 --> 01:05:54.030
 You know what, the saved people are the people

01:05:54.030 --> 01:05:57.960
 that have always had the Trinity correct, okay?

01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:00.340
 And so it's gotta be the Trinity.

01:06:00.340 --> 01:06:05.890
 It's the Lord said unto my Lord,

01:06:05.890 --> 01:06:08.800
 sit thou at my right hand, right?

01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:11.660
 I mean, to me, that's a done deal.

01:06:11.660 --> 01:06:12.490
 - That's right.

01:06:12.490 --> 01:06:14.630
 - You know, modalism is out the door,

01:06:14.630 --> 01:06:18.340
 and whatever Mormonism is also out the door.

01:06:18.340 --> 01:06:21.620
 You know, and any of these, you know,

01:06:21.620 --> 01:06:25.250
 these weird religions that are pulling Jesus down,

01:06:25.250 --> 01:06:27.940
 by the way, Islam is out the door.

01:06:27.940 --> 01:06:28.730
 And you know what?

01:06:28.730 --> 01:06:31.760
 Islam is a false, wicked religion.

01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:33.030
 And you know what?

01:06:33.030 --> 01:06:35.250
 They use America to do it.

01:06:35.250 --> 01:06:37.890
 And then with all of these refugee crisis,

01:06:37.890 --> 01:06:39.260
 they send them all into Europe

01:06:39.260 --> 01:06:41.520
 to destroy the Christian capital of the world.

01:06:41.520 --> 01:06:43.220
 And then they're gonna send them into America

01:06:43.220 --> 01:06:45.460
 to try to destroy America.

01:06:45.460 --> 01:06:46.340
 Why?

01:06:46.340 --> 01:06:47.200
 'Cause guess what?

01:06:47.200 --> 01:06:50.270
 Jews hate America and they hate Europe.

01:06:50.270 --> 01:06:51.100
 You know what?

01:06:51.100 --> 01:06:56.030
 And they say that antisemitism is in European DNA.

01:06:58.180 --> 01:06:59.360
 And why?

01:06:59.360 --> 01:07:00.200
 Why do they say that?

01:07:00.200 --> 01:07:03.520
 Well, because Europe has been the center of Christianity

01:07:03.520 --> 01:07:06.000
 ever since Jesus rose again from the dead

01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:07.470
 and went into the heavens.

01:07:07.470 --> 01:07:10.460
 Europe has basically become the center of Christianity, right?

01:07:10.460 --> 01:07:12.970
 And obviously we know that there's been a lot of it,

01:07:12.970 --> 01:07:15.340
 a lot of Catholicism and a lot of Protestantism,

01:07:15.340 --> 01:07:16.180
 but guess what?

01:07:16.180 --> 01:07:17.830
 There's been a lot of saved people in Europe as well,

01:07:17.830 --> 01:07:19.700
 over the centuries, right?

01:07:19.700 --> 01:07:24.690
 And America has been a Christian nation from its beginning.

01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:28.530
 And this is why the Jews hate America, my friend,

01:07:28.530 --> 01:07:31.240
 is because they hate Christianity.

01:07:31.240 --> 01:07:35.540
 You know, there was a spy that stole secrets from America,

01:07:35.540 --> 01:07:38.730
 sold it to Israel, which they sold it to the Soviet Union.

01:07:38.730 --> 01:07:40.540
 He went to jail for 30 years.

01:07:40.540 --> 01:07:42.830
 He gets out of jail, flies to Israel,

01:07:42.830 --> 01:07:44.140
 and gives a speech about how,

01:07:44.140 --> 01:07:46.970
 if America doesn't do what the Jews want them to do,

01:07:46.970 --> 01:07:50.940
 that Israel should nuke the United States.

01:07:50.940 --> 01:07:53.720
 And then our wonderful ambassador, Mike Huckabee,

01:07:53.720 --> 01:07:54.780
 goes and meets with the spy.

01:07:54.780 --> 01:07:58.730
 It's like, does anybody see what's going on here?

01:07:58.730 --> 01:08:00.110
 No?

01:08:00.110 --> 01:08:01.440
 I don't know, anyway.

01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:03.000
 I don't know how I got off on that tangent,

01:08:03.000 --> 01:08:05.750
 but I don't know, I just had to get,

01:08:05.750 --> 01:08:06.560
 I got a lot of stuff,

01:08:06.560 --> 01:08:09.430
 and I gotta get off my chest every once in a while.

01:08:09.430 --> 01:08:11.900
 Anyways, all right.

01:08:11.900 --> 01:08:14.440
 There may be an anti-Jew and anti-Muslim sermon

01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:18.160
 coming to you, to a town near you.

01:08:18.160 --> 01:08:19.780
 All right, let's see here.

01:08:19.780 --> 01:08:22.780
 So anyway, so the priesthood of Melchizedek,

01:08:22.780 --> 01:08:24.030
 by the way, the Jews need to get

01:08:24.030 --> 01:08:26.760
 on the priesthood of Melchizedek, right?

01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:28.800
 They need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:29.890
 in order for them to be saved.

01:08:29.890 --> 01:08:31.160
 And guess what?

01:08:31.160 --> 01:08:35.580
 You know, Christians, we want the Jews to get saved.

01:08:35.580 --> 01:08:37.160
 You know, we don't just hate the Jews,

01:08:37.160 --> 01:08:39.480
 we hate the Jews, we don't want them all to go to hell.

01:08:39.480 --> 01:08:44.060
 No, we actually want them to get saved.

01:08:44.060 --> 01:08:47.790
 But you know, when they call everything anti-Semitism,

01:08:47.790 --> 01:08:50.680
 it's like, it's hard not to embrace it, you know?

01:08:50.680 --> 01:08:53.130
 It's like, I wanna say, I'm looking forward

01:08:53.130 --> 01:08:55.060
 to the children's choir coming up at Christmas

01:08:55.060 --> 01:08:57.650
 where they're gonna sing a super anti-Semitic song

01:08:57.650 --> 01:08:59.120
 called "Joy to the World."

01:08:59.120 --> 01:09:00.910
 (laughs)

01:09:00.910 --> 01:09:02.460
 You know, that's the most anti-Semitic song

01:09:02.460 --> 01:09:04.130
 I can possibly think of.

01:09:04.130 --> 01:09:07.480
 You know, "Joy to the World," the Lord has come, okay?

01:09:07.480 --> 01:09:09.510
 Let us receive our King, all right?

01:09:09.510 --> 01:09:13.530
 Christ is King.

01:09:13.530 --> 01:09:15.750
 You know, and it's like, oh, that's anti-Semitic.

01:09:15.750 --> 01:09:18.710
 Well, you know what, if you think it's anti-Semitic,

01:09:18.710 --> 01:09:20.040
 then yes, it is.

01:09:20.040 --> 01:09:22.470
 You know, just let it be anti-Semitic then.

01:09:22.470 --> 01:09:24.870
 And I love it, okay?

01:09:24.870 --> 01:09:27.270
 But you know what, the thing is that we don't hate Jews.

01:09:27.270 --> 01:09:30.290
 Okay, we also don't hate Muslims.

01:09:30.290 --> 01:09:33.410
 But you know what, we're not gonna just let 'em roll up

01:09:33.410 --> 01:09:36.660
 on our churches and pray right in front of the church.

01:09:36.660 --> 01:09:38.030
 Kick 'em out for that.

01:09:38.030 --> 01:09:40.110
 Go pray, you know what, go pray in a dumpster somewhere.

01:09:40.110 --> 01:09:40.940
 I like that.

01:09:40.940 --> 01:09:42.510
 Go pray in a dumpster.

01:09:42.510 --> 01:09:43.660
 Get outta here.

01:09:43.660 --> 01:09:46.410
 You can't be praying to your false Satan God.

01:09:46.410 --> 01:09:48.430
 I mean, what if Satanists came to our church

01:09:48.430 --> 01:09:51.200
 and they're like drawing a star right in front

01:09:51.200 --> 01:09:52.950
 of our church, will we put up with that?

01:09:52.950 --> 01:09:54.850
 No, get off our property.

01:09:54.850 --> 01:09:56.670
 You know, if you wanna get saved, let us know.

01:09:56.670 --> 01:09:58.410
 But if you're gonna come here and worship Satan,

01:09:58.410 --> 01:10:00.410
 get out, leave.

01:10:00.410 --> 01:10:02.280
 You're not allowed to do that here.

01:10:02.280 --> 01:10:04.330
 You know, come back when you have a soft heart

01:10:04.330 --> 01:10:06.200
 and you're ready to receive the gospel.

01:10:06.200 --> 01:10:07.830
 You know what, that's what all these false religions

01:10:07.830 --> 01:10:09.010
 need to hear.

01:10:09.010 --> 01:10:11.820
 You know, you don't get to practice your false religion

01:10:11.820 --> 01:10:13.460
 on our church.

01:10:13.460 --> 01:10:15.280
 You know, you don't get to practice your false religion

01:10:15.280 --> 01:10:16.650
 on our church.

01:10:16.650 --> 01:10:17.660
 Go somewhere else and do that.

01:10:17.660 --> 01:10:20.560
 Go to find some dumpster somewhere and do that.

01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:23.580
 But you know what, when you're ready to hear the gospel,

01:10:23.580 --> 01:10:24.760
 come and see us.

01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:26.400
 We'd love to show you.

01:10:26.400 --> 01:10:29.450
 We'd love to show you about the priesthood of Melchizedek,

01:10:29.450 --> 01:10:31.630
 the everlasting priesthood,

01:10:31.630 --> 01:10:34.660
 where he was sinless and he paid for all of our sins.

01:10:34.660 --> 01:10:38.340
 And all you have to do is trust him, Jesus Christ,

01:10:38.340 --> 01:10:40.090
 and then you're saved forever.

01:10:40.090 --> 01:10:41.510
 You know?

01:10:41.510 --> 01:10:44.670
 But anyways, I think we're just gonna end it there.

01:10:44.670 --> 01:10:45.730
 Hopefully I made sense.

01:10:45.730 --> 01:10:49.270
 Hopefully I made my case for why Melchizedek is Jesus Christ.

01:10:49.270 --> 01:10:50.890
 And if you don't agree, you know, that's okay.

01:10:50.890 --> 01:10:52.200
 It's not like it's, again,

01:10:52.200 --> 01:10:53.990
 it's not something like rank heresy or anything like that.

01:10:53.990 --> 01:10:55.880
 People can disagree on this,

01:10:55.880 --> 01:10:58.050
 but that's just what kind of my thoughts about that.

01:10:58.050 --> 01:10:59.420
 But let's go ahead and bow our heads

01:10:59.420 --> 01:11:00.250
 and have a word of prayer.

01:11:00.250 --> 01:11:01.740
 Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day, Lord.

01:11:01.740 --> 01:11:03.230
 I thank you for everything you've done for us, Lord.

01:11:03.230 --> 01:11:05.380
 I pray that you would bless us as we go.

01:11:05.380 --> 01:11:06.650
 And we pray that you would please help us

01:11:06.650 --> 01:11:10.240
 to have soft hearts towards the lost,

01:11:10.240 --> 01:11:12.730
 but help us to never compromise with false religion, Lord.

01:11:12.730 --> 01:11:23.560
 Dear Jesus' name, amen.

01:11:23.560 --> 01:11:33.390
 If you want to turn to page number 424,

01:11:33.390 --> 01:11:41.170
 oh come, all ye faithful.

01:11:41.170 --> 01:11:48.960
 Page number 424.

01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:53.200
 I think this is another anti-Semitic song.

01:11:53.200 --> 01:11:54.550
 Tsk, tsk.

01:11:54.550 --> 01:11:56.330
 - All Christmas songs are anti-Semitic.

01:11:56.330 --> 01:11:58.350
 (laughing)

01:11:58.350 --> 01:11:59.310
 - Yes.

01:11:59.310 --> 01:12:01.000
 - I saw a Christian Christmas song.

01:12:01.000 --> 01:12:02.400
 - Yes.

01:12:02.400 --> 01:12:04.120
 All the hymns, all the good ones.

01:12:04.120 --> 01:12:05.410
 Oh come, all ye faithful.

01:12:05.410 --> 01:12:10.400
 We'll sing it out on the verse.

01:12:10.400 --> 01:14:26.760
 ♪ Oh come ♪

01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:27.600
 - Sing everybody for the rhyme.

01:14:27.600 --> 01:14:28.960
 Would you please close us in word of prayer?
