BLESSINGS FROM UNDERSTANDING DIVINE ORDER

My Dear Precious Child, In Paul's explanation about the order of the Jewish priesthood, which was prophetic of Christ's ministry, Paul explained that human priests were chosen by Me to make sacrifices and gifts for sins. Those human priests deal patiently with sinners because they are also tempted by their own weaknesses and make sacrifices for their own sins, as well as for other people. Jewish priests were normally chosen by Me, as Aaron was, not of their own choice. Paul wrote that not even He, Christ Himself, glorified Himself with the office of high priest; he received it from Me who said to Him, "You are My Son; today I have begotten you," after He was baptized in My Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17) In another place in scripture He said, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek." (Psalm 110:11; Hebrews 5:1-6) When Christ Jesus walked the earth in the flesh, He offered prayers and supplications to Me with loud cries and tears to Me, who was able to save Him from death and He was heard because of His reverence for Me. Though Christ was My Son, He learned obedience from what he suffered in the earth, and when He was perfected He became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him, who was designated by Me as being a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. ( Hebrews 5:7-10) Poor Paul, he wrote in his letter to the Hebrew Christians that he had a lot more to say about that topic, but it was difficult to explain fully to the Hebrews because they had become spiritually deaf. Then Paul launched into a correction, exhortation and complaint by writing the same complaint that he had with two other churches. He wrote that they should be teaching other people, but instead they needed someone to teach them again the basic elements of My Words; telling them they had need of milk, not solid food. He wrote that everyone whose food is milk is ignorant of the Word that sanctified them; for they were still children. He amplified His complaint by saying that solid spiritual food is for the spiritually mature, for those people whose mental faculties are trained to distinguish good from evil. It was obvious that the Hebrew believers had retreated backward into the Mosaic Law, as influenced by other Christian believers who were sent by the devil to deceive them and return them to trying to put new wine into old wine skins, which always busts the skins and wastes the wine; or, as Peter wrote, they were like a dog who turns to eat his own vomit again. (Matthew 9;17; II Peter 2:21) They did the very thing of which Christ Jesus and the prophets warned them. Their minds were tickled by the words of the false prophets and they stopped in their seeking My Kingdom of God and began to seek the approval of human priests instead of Christ Jesus, who is My own appointed priest of the Kingdom of God.
