The chapters of Hebrews 6 to Hebrews 11, lay down the fundamentals of the office of a priest and covers 4 particular priests or types of priests

Heb 6:20, Melchizedek, who was a priest without father, without mother, without genealogy Hebrews 7:3, (the order of Melchizedek)
Hebrews 6:20, Jesus, who became a High priest after the order of Melchizedek
Hebrews 7:5, the sons of Levi who received the priests office
Hebrews 10:19, those born again brethren are to have boldness to enter into the holy place (by the blood of Jesus), and are collectively referred to as “a royal priesthood” in 1 Peter 2:9

This remarkable section which traces priestly duty and ordinance leading to Jesus as our High priest, and his tearing down of the veil at the entrance to the Holy of holies in the temple. While high priests under the Levitical protocol had to offer sacrifices for their own sins and for the sins of the people every year, Jesus did this once when he offered up himself and his blood now cleanses our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
This Jesus who was made a priest not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life (Heb 7: 15 & 16) and as such he is able to save those for all time those who come to God through him, because he always lives to make intercession for them Heb 7:25 (loosely from the REV – Revised English version)

Don’t Blame God

Old Testament versus new testament. In the New there are new truths. The old attributes certain things to God, our loving heavenly Father. The devil is in control of our physical environment. God hid the Devil in the old testament via the way things were written.
Ephesians says "we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against" … there is no old testament verse like that.

There are new truths in the new testament, look in John 1 : 17 for instance, Grace & truth came through Jesus Christ. What truth?
V.18 Truth came by Jesus Christ, and he made known the Father, In the OT God took the credit for good and evil, but in the NT Jesus and God gave believers the power to understand the position of the devil in the World, and gave them the enablement's to counter some of the acts of the devil.
1 John 5:19 Where does the flooding, slavery, hunger, war come from – not God, “The whole World in under the control of the evil one” NIV.

God is good, God is loving,

Matt 4 states that the devil was tempting Jesus with all the kingdoms of the World… how did he get them? Jesus did not contest his ability and authority to give them. Jesus himself will reign over them some day, Jesus resisted temptation. God gave rulership of the World to Adam who gave it to the devil at the fall.

Heb 2 :14 Jesus also took flesh and blood, … to destroy him who holds the power of death.

Numbers 21:4-9 these verses attribute these acts to God. In aramaic this has the meaning of allowing or permission.


Listen to the whole teaching "Don't blame God" by clicking on the link below.

Keep praying and labouring in prayer. God and Jesus and the people of this world need your intercession. Speak in tongues as much as youcan. Pray with your understanding and be specific and clear.

God Bless

“Is there death after life”, is the title of a book by Graeser, Lynn and Schoenheit, and in it are laid down some of the fundamentals of the subject, the state of the dead.

The bible is clear on this subject and so should we.

In Hebrews 2:14 the one who holds the power of death has been declared, and clearly revealed and that is the devil. Jesus Christ took flesh and blood and shared in our humanity so that by his death he could destroy him who holds the power of death. (Loosely NIV)

1 Corinthians 15:26 clearly states, “the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (KJV)

The reason there is death is stated in Romans 5:12,
“Wherefore as by one man (Adam) sin entered the into the world, and death by sin; so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” (NIV)

There is an escape from death and that is, in this day and time in 2009, through Jesus Christ, and specifically an adherence to the instructions given in Romans 10: 9,
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved”(KJV)

1Thessalonians 4: 16, 17 paint for us a glorious future, and is a stark contrast to the ill-founded belief that death is in fact an entrance to life itself.

If death is not “really” death, but merely a passing on to something even greater than “life”, then the need for resurrection (Jesus Christ’s resurrection, the 1st & 2nd resurrections) and raising of the dead in Christ (1Thessalonians 4: 16, 17) are all unnecessary and give false hope. But this is not the case and God and Jesus Christ will have to bring all power to bear to give new life to those who have acquired it, and not only life, but everlasting life.
