Hebrews 7:8
_ _ Second point of superiority: Melchisedec’s is an enduring, the Levitical a transitory, priesthood. As the law was a parenthesis between Abraham’s dispensation of promise of grace, and its enduring fulfillment at Christ’s coming (Romans 5:20, Greek, “The law entered as something adscititious and by the way”): so the Levitical priesthood was parenthetical and temporary, between Melchisedec’s typically enduring priesthood, and its antitypical realization in our ever continuing High Priest, Christ.
_ _ here — in the Levitical priesthood.
_ _ there — in the priesthood after the order of Melchisedec. In order to bring out the typical parallel more strongly, Paul substitutes, “He of whom it is witnessed that he liveth,” for the more untypical, “He who is made like to Him that liveth.” Melchisedec “liveth” merely in his official capacity, his priesthood being continued in Christ. Christ, on the other hand, is, in His own person, “ever living after the power of an endless life” (Hebrews 7:16, Hebrews 7:25). Melchisedec’s death not being recorded, is expressed by the positive term “liveth,” for the sake of bringing into prominence the antitype, Christ, of whom alone it is strictly and perfectly true, “that He liveth.” |
Hebrews 7:8
And here — In the Levitical priesthood. But there — In the case of Melchisedec. He of whom it is testified that he liveth — Who is not spoken of as one that died for another to succeed him; but is represented only as living, no mention being made either of his birth or death. |
- men:
Hebrews 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
|
- he liveth:

Hebrews 5:6 As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 9:24-25 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: ... Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ... And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
