Focal Point

Pastor Mike Fabarez: Such a high priest he meets our needs. He's holy and blameless, pure and set apart from sinners. He's exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once and for all when he offered not a lamb, but he offered himself.

Guest (Male): Those words from Hebrews chapter 7 echo across the pages of scripture and reverberate into our lives today. Welcome to Focal Point. Now, maybe you've tried studying the book of Hebrews before, but you got a little hung up on all the Old Testament imagery of prophets, kings, and priests. How are we to understand these pictures, and are they important for us today?

Today, Mike Fabarez will help answer those questions as we pick up in our mini-series in Hebrews called Christ Changed Everything. Here's Pastor Mike with today's message.

Pastor Mike Fabarez: The point of Hebrews is establishing the fact that God has done an amazing thing. He's taken the role of king and priest and prophet, and he's put them all together in the ultimate one that is called in Hebrews and introduced to us in Hebrews as not the prophet, the priest, or the king, but as the son. He has a special relationship to God. As a matter of fact, in the first chapter, he is called God, Elohim himself, or Theos in Greek, and he's called God, and yet he serves in all three functions.

Look for them here as we just reread this section, verse number one. In the past, God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets. That's of course the prophets. God speaks to people, the Israelites, through the prophets. At many times and in various ways. But in these last days, here's the role of prophet. He has spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed heir of all things. Now, if you're heir of all things, that's a position of your status. That's starting to look like a king. We'll unfold that later.

Through whom he made the universe. That's a pretty powerful situation there. The son, verse 3, is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his own powerful word. Now, priestly function. After he had provided purification for sins, who does that? The priests do that. He sat down at the right hand, oh, that looks like what a king would do, of the majesty in heaven.

So he became much more superior to angels than the name that he's inherited is superior to theirs. For to which of the angels did he ever say, "You're my son, today I have become your father"? Or again, "I will be his father and he will be my son"? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let the angels worship him." In speaking of the angels, he says, "He makes his winds his angels, winds and his servants flames of fire."

But about the son he says, "Your throne," that's what kings sit on, "O God," that would be the ultimate authority in the universe, now embodied in a person, "will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter," that's what kings hold, "of your kingdom." That's what kings lead over. You have loved righteousness, you've hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. He's yet to call him Christ. Have you noticed that?

That's what the Christ is. And what's interesting is all three offices are merged together in Jesus Christ. The king, the priest, the prophet, and it's all laid out in the first nine verses of the book. Now, we start to go through the book, and we're kind of cool with the issue that he's the prophet. Look at what he did. He revealed his father. Look also how he led as the great king. We're calling him Lord. So when we see the word Christos starting to show up in the book of Hebrews, we're like, okay, I'm cool with that.

But before we get very far, chapter 5, we start hearing about him being a priest, and that starts to cause a few people to scratch their head. We've got to deal with that. How in the world is Jesus the priest? That's what Hebrews chapter 7 is all about, and that's why the person of Melchizedek is brought up. And that's the next thing I'd like to do is compare the three Melchizedek passages. Compare the three Melchizedek passages, and there are only three sections of scripture that do it.

The first one, as a matter of fact, if you do an Old Testament search, you'll only find his name come up twice. The first one, Genesis chapter 14. Let's turn there together. Genesis chapter 14. Melchizedek. If you know the story here, the little context, you've got Abraham with a flunky nephew named Lot, who gets in a lot of trouble, like going to live in Las Vegas because he really likes the bright lights. Sodom, that's what we're talking about. That was the wicked city.

He wanted to live there. He wanted to be a part of that, the fast lane, all that. And the foreign kings come and they take over and they pull all these people away, including Lot. Now he's a captive. Now, Abraham puts together an army, and with just a few men that are trained for war, he's able to go, as the kings are leaving, able to get them, defeat them, kill a bunch of them, and get Lot and his family back and all his possessions.

But drop down, if you would, to verse number 18. Genesis 14:18. After coming back, he's returning from the defeat of the kings. He says Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine, and he was a priest of God Most High. And he blessed Abram, this is before he had his name changed by God, saying, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, creator of heaven and earth." Well, that's the one we got introduced to in Genesis 1:1, okay. "And blessed be God Most High who delivered your enemies into your hand."

Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. He meets this religious leader, and he gives him 10 percent of his income. This is approximately 2000 BC. And you Sunday school grads should understand that the Exodus and the giving of the law, when Moses came out from Yul Brenner and took the children of Israel into the desert to worship God, that was 1445 BC. So this is, you know, 500 years before that. You have Abraham meeting the priest of the Most High. It's what we call anachronistic.

It doesn't seem to make sense. It's out of time. How do we have a real priest of God before God even instructed people to have priests? That's the mystery of Melchizedek. And it's interesting that years before God ever gave the Levitical priesthood, we've got this guy. What's going on here? See, the children of Israel started with Abraham. He's giving his worship and he's giving his tithes in this case, his offerings to some foreign person. What was he from? What kind of background did he have? What country did he migrate from?

Who is he? Where did he get the instructions for the priesthood? Do you see how this is a mysterious dude in the scripture? Who is this guy? And how is it that this anachronistic appearance of the priesthood 500 years before there is a priesthood as far as we know? Obviously, he's a priest of the Most High, and he comes from Jerusalem. Reference number one. Tucked away in scripture, beginning of the Bible, 2000 BC. Great. Now we have another reference.

An unexpected reference that pops up in the Bible in Psalm 110, which has already been quoted a number of times in the book of Hebrews. This is an important psalm. Psalm 110. This is a psalm of David. David lived in the United Kingdom of Israel in the Old Testament around the turn of the millennia. This is about 1000 BC, which is again, I'm not a numerologist, but it is interesting, 2000 BC and then a thousand years later in biblical history God goes, oh yeah, that Melchizedek guy, let me remind you about him.

And here's where it shows up. Psalm 110 verse 1. A psalm of David. Yahweh says to my Adonai. Yahweh, that's God's proper name. Says to my, now is that Yahweh? Is that capital? No, Adonai. That's the generic word for God, the Lord, right? Yahweh says to Adonai, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. Yahweh will extend your mighty scepter from Zion and you will rule in the midst of your enemies.

Your troops will be willing on the day of battle, arrayed in holy majesty. From the womb of the dawn, you will receive the dew of your youth." Yahweh has sworn and he will not change his mind. "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." That ought to be enough to drop anybody off their horse in the 10th century BC. What in the world are you talking about? You know, in three of the four gospels, it is recorded that Jesus uses this passage to speak of himself.

As a matter of fact, he spends time talking about isn't it odd that David says that Yahweh, creator of heaven and earth, says to my Adonai that he's going to be this king. And he asks the question in Mark 12, he says how is it then that people say Messiah, who they've got a picture of in the Old Testament, who would come and fulfill the law, how do they say that Messiah is son of David if David is saying Yahweh says to my Adonai? Doesn't sound like a son if he's calling him Adonai.

That is Sergeant, Sir, Boss, King. How is it that David's calling the Messiah his king and not his son? Jesus asks that question, makes all the scribes scratch their head. Now that's odd enough in the text, so we're obviously talking about something beyond the human here, and now all of a sudden he says, "Oh yeah, verse 4, Yahweh has sworn and will not change his mind. You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." And if you go, well, I'm sure there's some explanation somewhere in Leviticus about this.

Remember I said only two times in the Old Testament, you'll only find two references to his name: Genesis 14, Psalm 110:4. Now we had another thousand years expire and people are going, what was that all about? This is clearly because of what we've pointed out already, a prophetic type. This is a type. This is something that would be true of Messiah. It is true of Messiah, as Jesus pointed out, that he would not be inferior to David. David would be calling him Adonai, the Lord.

And Yahweh says to Adonai, "Gonna make the enemies a footstool for your feet. But sit at my right hand until I do that." But then there's this weird thing about Melchizedek. Couple things to note. First of all, the surprise of this reference. Comes completely out of left field. No other reference in Psalms, no other reference in the early monarchy, no other reference in the law of Moses. There is nothing about this. There is no expectation of this.

Out of thin air comes a reminder of a thousand-year-old incident of Abraham with this guy named Melchizedek, this mysterious priest that shows up that Abraham shows deference to and gives 10 percent of his stuff. Surprising. Now, there's also a problem here. There's a problem for several reasons. One is that kings aren't priests and priests aren't kings. And to say that there will be a king who sits on a throne and is called Adonai, great king, great leader, great boss, and then he's said to be a priest forever, someone should throw a flag on the play.

Kings aren't priests. That's one problem. Secondly, if you want to talk about priests, we've got priests. They're the Levites. The Levitical priesthood, the Aaronic priesthood was firmly in place. What are you going talking about a priest? And then a priest that's of some other order, an order of Melchizedek. There is no order of Melchizedek. We don't even know what the guy was about. We just read about it a thousand years ago. Order of Melchizedek? If you want to talk about the Levitical priesthood, great. But the order of Melchizedek, that's a problem.

If you took this text at face value and expected a king to rule that David gives deference to, who is both a priest and a king, it would be one of the most revolutionary passages in all of the Old Testament. And yet here it was, a song that they sang in Old Testament worship. One of the sacred and inspired songs of the Bible. And by the way, if a human attempted to claim that he was a king and a priest, he would be killed. He would be stoned.

Thirdly, let's at least note this interesting feature: the speculation. All I can say is that people were scratching their heads about this. When your kid asked you in Sabbath school or on the way home from synagogue and says, "Dad, what's that all about?" "I don't know, son." And yet they kept it, revered it. It's inspired. It's an inspired song. I don't know what it means. Clearly, though, the other thing that you have to note is it's clearly a Messianic Psalm.

A Messianic Psalm, if you want to write the reference down, there's several in the gospels, but at least jot down Mark chapter 12 starting in verse 35. Jesus begins to discuss the fact that this relates to him. The son of David is also David's Lord. There's a third reference. It shows up here in Hebrews chapter 5, again in Hebrews chapter 6, which are just scant bypass references. And then we get 28 verses in Hebrews chapter 7.

Timeframe, it is interesting, it's nice round numbers now. It was a thousand years between the historical reference to the prophetic statement in scripture, and it was a thousand years later, was it not, 1st century AD, when here we have on the scene a biblical explanation for what this is and how it all fits. The nature of this, of course, is to show its Messianic fulfillment, that God had a plan he would merge the offices of king and priest into one, not to mention prophet, and that was dealt with in the first chapter.

What's interesting about this, the distinction from the Levitical priesthood. That's what the whole chapter is about. We've already read this, but let's read it again. This Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest, that's the interesting thing, of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and he blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means king of righteousness. And then also, if you look at where he's from, it means king of Salem, means king of peace.

Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the son of God, he remains a priest forever. But all that's telling us is we don't know what tribe he's from, we don't know what lineage he has, we don't know where he came from, we don't know who his parents are, we don't know anything about his kids, we don't know anything about the priesthood. It is some bizarre simple reference. Verse 4. Think of how great he was.

Now he's going to establish the superiority. Even the patriarch Abraham, the leader of the country, gave him a tenth of the plunder. Now the law requires that the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people, that is their brothers, even though their brothers are descended from Abraham. This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and he blessed him who had the promises.

Without doubt, now this is important to note, the lesser person is blessed by the greater person. The lesser person, Abraham, is blessed by the greater person, Melchizedek. In this one case, the tenth is collected by men who die. He's already dealt with the concept of an endless priesthood, but in the other case, this is the comparison, by him who is declared to be living. Not only Melchizedek who has no beginning and end, no lineage to discuss, but Christ, of course, the resurrected Christ.

One might even say, now this is obviously just a poetic way to put it, that Levi who collects the tenth paid the tenth through Abraham because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor. He's not stating biology here. He's saying, some might say that. I mean, if Levi is subordinate to Abraham the father of the nation, wouldn't it seem that he would have to be subordinate to the man that Abraham shows deference to? The superiority.

Verse 11. If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood, for on the basis of it the law was given to the people, why was there still a need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek? That's a reference to Psalm 110. Not in the order of Aaron. That's the bizarre passage that we could never put together for a thousand years. For when there was a change of the priesthood, there also must be a change of the law.

That's what the new covenant promises in Jeremiah 31 were all about. He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe. No one from that tribe had ever served at the altar. Talking about Christ. For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. Of course they were prohibited. Verse 15. And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears. Now what's interesting about that?

Well, it's not on the basis of the regulation of ancestry but to the basis of the power of an indestructible life, which was enigma literally, but it's a reality in the resurrected Jesus. For it's declared, "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek." That's a quotation, obviously, of Psalm 110:4. Verse 18. The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless, for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced by which we draw near to God.

That's the work of the priest, allows us to have access to God. Verse 20. And it was not without an oath. Now we're back to chapter 6. Others became priests without any oath, but he, that is Christ, became a priest with an oath when God said in that Messianic Psalm to him, "The Lord has sworn and he will not change his mind: You are a priest forever." Because of this oath, which was so important in chapter 6, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

This is a better covenant, a new covenant, a supplants the old. Verse 23. Now there have been many of those priests since death prevented them from continuing in office. That's why we had so many; they kept dying. But because Jesus lives forever, we're back to that theme again, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to him through him because he always lives to intercede for them. Then one last final note summing rising the whole chapter.

Such a high priest he meets our needs. He's holy and blameless, pure and set apart from sinners. He's exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, that's what you had to do on Yom Kippur. You had to sacrifice for yourself and your own family first, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once and for all when he offered not a lamb, but he offered himself.

For the law appoints high priests men who are weak, but the oath, Psalm 110:4, which came after the law, appointed the son who has been made perfect forever. Number one. Understand that Melchizedek trumps Levi. Understand that Melchizedek, the whole point of chapter 7, is better than Levi in the Levitical priesthood. It trumps it. It's better in every way. The argument that he's developing is trying to support that and fortify that argument.

We read there in the beginning of this text that we have a priest who is a king. That's unlike the Levitical priest who could not be kings. You can't merge those two classes in Israel. He makes that point in verses 1 and 2, and then he makes it again verses 11 through 14. Judah doesn't produce priests, but we have a priest who is a king. See, Jesus is presented in scripture as king and priest.

He not only leads us for God's sake, he also speaks to God on our behalf. He is our mediator. He is the one who stands in the gap and represents us to God. Old Testament, priests couldn't be kings. New Testament, the king and the priest are one. A reference that you might want to jot down in that box priests are not kings is 2 Chronicles chapter 26. Look at a king who tries to go because he's so full of himself and burn incense in the altar in the temple.

Have you read that story? He goes in there and now he's he's so full of himself and that's what the Bible says, his great success in his political campaigns and his military campaigns. He thought he was the guy, so he went in to burn incense and all the priests rallied around and said you can't do that. And he goes, "Just watch me." And so they watched him as he went in and tried to burn incense, and the Bible says leprosy started to break out on his forehead just as he started to burn incense in the altar.

He couldn't even enter the temple grounds anymore because he was a leper for the rest of his life and God says that's what you get if you think you're a king and think you can be a priest. That is under the old covenant. The old covenant, the tribe of Levi, their task could not mix with the tribe of Judah and their task. King, priest, no, two different things. That's a fascinating passage which starts in verse 11, by the way. 2 Chronicles 26:11 through 21.

Without father or mother, without genealogy, look, that connects with, in one case, verse 8, tenth's collected by men who die. Then again in verse 15, talking about people that die and people that don't die. Down in verse 23, again, many of those priests but death presented them from continuing, but Christ, he lives forever. Do you see the theme reoccurring one, two, three, four times in this text about the difference between Levitical priest and the Melchizedekian priesthood of Christ?

The point is, priests die and they always need replacements. If you have one and you like him and he's good and every Yom Kippur he represents you, you know what, don't get too attached because he's dying and you're gonna need another one and your kids will need another one and your grandkids will need another one. And all that stuff that's done in the temple on your behalf, you're gonna have to have replacement priests every generation because they're all subject to death.

The point is, Jesus of course, he lives because of his resurrection and he needs no replacement. His mediatorial role never ends and therefore, as this text says, as was predicted a thousand years before Christ came, he is a priest forever and will always intercede for his people.
