My characters are too long
Christ come forth here
Mic 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. (Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:34, 2:4-7)
Hear now House of David (made of a woman made under the law) the sign
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Luke 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow hee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
For the law made nothing perfect but the better hope did
Gal 4:4-5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them thatwere under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Heb 7:9 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, (shown in Psalm 110:4) and not be called after the order of Aaron?
So, if he were on earth he should not be a priest, why?
Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
This is evident, even in Micah, and its not even in dispute
Luke 17:14 And when he (Jesus) saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests.
Jesus acknowledges the priesthood, saying, GO shew yourselves to such
Heb 7:21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec )
So he is the one with the oath (a priest for ever)
Heb 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Heb 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
He didnt take this honour to himself
Heb 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
John 8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Heb 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Heb 5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Heb 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing
Obvioulsy, but earlier on
Mat 22:41 While the Pharisees were gathered together,
Jesus asked them,
Mat 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?
They say unto him, The son of David.
Mat 22:43 He saith unto them,
How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Mat 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1, Acts 2:31-34)
He saith unto them,
Mat 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? (Psalm 110:1)
They couldnt answer the "how" but the apostles expound upon this,
Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
Having set his King on his holy hill, here is where he is declared
Romans 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Who is the first begotten of the dead
This day (in the second psalm needed to be fulfilled)
Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee
God had to fulfill the second psalm and did so in Jesus Christ
Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Where He is openly declared the Son of God (Psalm 2:7, Mt 22:45)
Who is also a priest (Gen 14:18)
Heb 5:6 As he saith also in another place,
Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.(Psalm 110:4, Heb 7:11)
Who is also a King and who was made Lord (Acts 2:36, Mt 22:45)
Psalm 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
And the Lord shall strike through kings
Psalm 110:5 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
Which in his times he shall shew...
1Ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew,
who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
And such a time shown in his wrath
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God
It says,
Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
And of wrath,
1Thes 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
The Word was made flesh
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
And his name is called The Word of God.
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Proverbs begs the question this way
Prov 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
The apostles argue against the possibility of it being David (who was dead and buried and in a sepulchre) but take up what David said
Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, UntilI make thy foes thy footstool.
Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Jesus said
Go to my brethren, and say unto them,
I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Redemption...
Isaiah 44:2 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
When he had by himself purged our sins,
Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Having sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Mat 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (Psalm 110:1, Acts 2:31-34)
Acts 5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Acts 13:38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
1John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Jesus said,
Luke 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
The apostles,
Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Ephes 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Heb 8:1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne ofthe Majesty in the heavens;
1Cr 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Cr 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things underhim, that God may be all in all.
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: towhom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Isaiah 55:4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Rev 1:5 From Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto himthat loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The Greater
Heb 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Jesus said....the Father is greater I
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Heb 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater:
and an oath for confirmation is to the end of all strife.
Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Heb 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek
Heb 7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
Heb 7:21..By him that said unto him, The LORD sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec
Abram's name wasn't even changed until after he met Melchizedek also (Gen 14:19 & 17:5)
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Abram's name was changed to Abraham here
Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
Even in that respect.
Melchizedek was the first to bring forth the bread and the wine
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Jesus likewise with his disciples
Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this doin remembrance me. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
Which shows his death. If he were on earth he should not be a priest (Heb 8:4) even as elsewhere it says his life was taken from the earth (in Isaiah 53:8, being cut off out of the land of the living Acts 8:33).
So this much is evident,
Heb 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda;
of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
And again,
Heb 7:15 And it is yet far more evident:
for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, (Psalm 110:4)
Which is a similitude for Jesus Christ (Hosea 12:10, Heb 7:15)
Psalm 110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
If he were on earth he should not be a priest, (springing out of Judah)
Even though in Mic 5:2... out of thee (Judah) shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel
His life was taken from the earth
Jesus said,
John 14:28 I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
David himself saw before the resurrection of Jesus Christ
Psalm 110:1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
His goings forth which have been from old (even from everlasting)
Mic 5:2....whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
They asked,
John 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham ?
Hebrews seems to take this up
Heb 7:4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
As Jesus had said,
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
See it??
Mic 5:2....whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Heb 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
Heb 7:7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
I just like this combo
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Gen 4:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Psalm 104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Heb 7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
He is the Lord our righteousness, even as He is our peace.
Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
