Melchizedek ( you read about him in Genesis 14:18-20) was a type of Christ and possibly the pre-incarnate Christ himself, blessed Abraham and received tithes from Abraham.This happened around six hundred years before the Law of Moses and the start of the Levitical priesthood 7:1-3
Unlike the Levitical Priests who had to offer sacrifices for sins again and again. Jesus sacrificed Himself for our sins once and for all 7:27 Ask yourself are there any past, present, or future sins He has not forgiven? This is a mystery but this does not mean that we have liberty to continue to sin deliberately. Romans 6:1-2, 1 John 1:8-9, 5:18. All our sins were in the future when Jesus died for our sins! Jesus also died not only for those who were alive at that time but also for those of faith who had already died. This is why Jesus our Great High Priest unlike the Levitical priests who were all subject to death, is a priest forever because of the power of an endless Life 7:16
Verse to remember
Because of God’s oath, it is Jesus who guarantees the effectiveness of this better covenant. Hebrews 7:22 N.L.T.
