The Promise of the Lord - PART 61

We continue with the theme transubstantiationn. In the aforementioned posts, we saw the similarity of the Mosaic Law - the priestly conduct endeavouring to be reproduced into the administering of the ordinance of communion. Before we become immersed in the topic, it is first important to clarify that Christian believers living in the 21st century are not under the Order of the Mosaic Law.

In other words, we as Christians are under the order of Melchisedec. This new order is a totally different conduct of order - the order that we know and accept as the New Testament. At this intersection we discover that which was ministered under the Mosaic covenant (or the old law covenant ) was an agreement between two parties.

The old covenant being a covenant of sin and death was replaced with the new testament (or the Promise of an endless life.  But this agreement was not between two parties. Unlike the contractual agreements of today, only one party was involved in the transaction. Indeed, God, who is one Spirit made undeniable precious promises with Himself as a son so that we would inherit (in His last will and testament all) all of His many promises as a gift.

Why? Because God as a son bequeathed them to us. Again, God is the love that will not let me go. The scriptures state that as a result of a change in the priesthood, there must similarly take place a change in the ORDER of law -- necessitated by a changing (but not an altering) of the Law regarding priesthood. After all, the man of whom these things are prophesied is not of the tribe of Levi. Rather, He is from the tribe of Judah.

It is important to note here that no man has ever given attendance at the Levitical alter. This priesthood and order whereof we now speak belongs to the order of Melchisedec. The order of Melchisedec is a totally different priesthood. Yes, you could say that a priest of a different kind has now emerged. a priest whose priesthood has not been derived from a law of fleshly commands and dealing only with earthly requirements. The scripture clearly state that JESUS, the only begotten son of the Holy Ghost, was the one previously prophesied of in the Old Testament.

The scriptures further state that you are a priest forever after the Order of Melchisedec. But who is Melchisedec? Well, because of the entrance of this new order recognized as the Order of Melchisedec there must be a disannulling of the commands that went before. Plainly speaking, there is a definite cancellation that occurs. This happens so that the law which went before is now set aside. The reason for this is simple. The old law was weak and ineffective. Some might even suggest that the old law was useless and impotent. Certainly, the law was incapable of bringing anything or, for that matter anyone, to maturity. In the end, the old laws simple did not make anyone feel right with God.

On the other hand , God introduced us to a better hope in the New Testament. This new hope enables us to draw nearer and closer to God. In fact, this new priesthood introduces God to us as a sworn oath, ratified and confirmed by God.

Unlike the world in which we live today, whereby the former priesthoods take their office by appointments from me, God did not swear any oath of promise pertaining to them. Listen to what the Spirit of God has said concerning JESUS. His priesthood is an in-transmissible and unchangeable priesthood. God Himself as a son came to bring us salvation. God manifest Himself in the flesh showing forth His spiritual existence in visible earthly expression. The Lord took an oath that will not change. Neither will God change His mind.

God's word is carved in stone forever. God will not recall His words. “You are a Priest Forever after the Order of Melchisedec" is what the Biblical scriptures state. Therefore, because the oath of promise was delivered to us, expressing and showing the validity of God’s promise, we are by grace led of God to Himself. We are led to God as a Son seen in the face of Jesus the Christ.

Remember what the scriptures state. For it has pleased the Spirit of God who fathered the man Jesus that in Him and in Him alone should all the fullness of the Godhead dwell bodily. As a consequence, we are complete in His life. For surely, He alone is the bread of life. If men would only search the scriptures and learn of Him, they would never die.

The way into your heart is not through your mouth. Taste and see that the Lord is Good. Transubstantiation still continues. Stand in the Offering Plate!
