Made into Sons
06/27/2025
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Hebrews Epistle 7:12-14
In fact, when our Lord has come in he changes a number of things in the house as unto his Son. You might have been thinking that the Lord came after the high priestly order, himself being God in whatever way that it mattered. Though having been born in a Judamite tribe, the Lord would have had to somehow find his way from there into Levi. Levi however, as far as the angels were speaking is on the complete opposite other end of the spectrum. Sure, the Lord could have just called ten thousand angels on the cross down to come before him there and minister. Yet the Lord did not come to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many. In this it is observed that our God is untoward. Thusly speaking, it is a whole other type of Levi himself being the author and finisher there of the faith and also the starter for wherever you ought. Being his people then and the sheep of his pasture meant above else that our God must have ministered. You might have thought then at first that there were some other things disqualifying him then and such as the little that was made into much. See the Lord in his glory is much more than angel. More than that he is even more than the stranger. At no time has he lost his identity himself being God nor have suffered in other ways toward. The Lord himself as leader of such is all by himself in a class unto this. Lest we spectulate excessively upon the change in the law, just remember that it was Gods to start out having been with him the longest and suffered by none other to change it. See, it was as the very Word which gave utterance and sprang forth from his bones. This same thing too that suffered it not return void by his Spirit and that from the start. Giving attendance then means bearing witness or whatever you chose to remember in any way that you use. It can also refer to the service that is rendered himself as you ought which is reasonable in any way that is brought. Since the law came not from Moses who himself then had uttered must needs have come from the Lord God himself who had generalled. For in this is the order made itself for a witness. Could it be we have not heard these things as we ought. But ourselves being sinful, and willing, and weak while out of the same order arises another sort of priest. With the law being changed as it were, a bending of rules meant for the fulfillment much rather, as it were a race to be won. Paul in his day had seen it in this for himself. Thusly the priesthood means more than a race to be won or of endless service to him but a one with himself there in the end. Is it not that he had called us to be a nation of kings and priests to his Son. Herein between being the peculiar people and the race he has won, he is the author and finisher of our faith because it is himself that has started it, set the trials and challenge, and also himself that has finished. Therein you could almost say it is Gods ownself that is reigning and ruling at the end of the day. Being that he sware by himself too since he could swear by none greater himself having written the own book of which he was apart. The law then is by fulfillment much rather as we had already said once before and not that it mattered. Now the Lord was not as some had been in a manner of speaking trying to quite do away with the reaping. Nor was he in the habit of grasping at straws and searching for walls. So is it in the doing away then our fulfillment is shown. At this point, thank God for his mercy and grace in fulfilling his Word from the start, more specifically the law and the prophets in any way that we ought. For if you think of in the terms of the law, there remains the springing forth of this tribe. Yet that was not what the Lord had said from the start, now was it, or just that he himself had personally gave, awaited the trial, held the devil, and offered the sentence himself all the while. Nothing else explains the springing out then just as the Lord had once promised his people. Indeed, for the Lion of the tribe of Judah was a title he himself held in especially pride. That is to say it was his sort of tribe. Levi especially as the brother of Aaron might have ought to, safe to say it was his place at the altar. Not long after the sacrifice had got up and walked away in the form of a Lamb it was told. In this then our God has made offer and the rest then assured. Sacrifice and offering you have not desired but a body you have prepared for me, saith he, and even so too a taking place at his Word.
