The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed in Hebrews 5:5; with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

We are looking at: Jesus Christ our humanity, now sitting at the right hand of the author, designer, engineer and completer of our faith, Agape Love, our Perfecter and now our High Priest. For this reason we can approach the authoritative Throne of Grace with Bold utterances. Because We are Welcome there in his embrace, and are reinforced with immediate effect in times of trouble. The author of Hebrews now repeats a quote of Psalm 2:7, the time line of salvation and Psalm 110:4 dealing with Melchizedek to ancient high priest of long ago, who had no recorded history of his origin. Who meet Abram after his victory with bread and wine, the covenant feast requirements.


Hebrews 5:5-10 "So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him (in Psalm 2:7), 'Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.' As he saith also in another place (Psalm 110:4), 'Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.' Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec." (KJV)

Hebrews 5:5-10 "So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him (in Psalm 2:7), "You are my Son, today I have begotten you;" As he says also in another place (in Psalm 110:4), "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek." (ESV)


Hebrews 5:5-10 "Just as he has spoken in other Scriptures concerning this new priestly order: "'Thou art a Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.'" (By translation, "the King of Righteousness," [Genesis 4:18] In these Scriptures a new and eternal order of priesthood is introduced. [Psalm 110:4] Jesus knew that his priesthood was prophesied in Scripture, a priesthood neither passed on by natural birth, nor ending with natural death.) When he faced the horror of his imminent death, he presented his urgent plea to GOD in an outbrust of agonizing emotion and with tears. He prayed with urgent intent to be delivered from death, knowing that GOD was able to save him. He was heard because of his [1]firm grip on the prophetic word. (Not because he feared, as some translations have put it, but because he [1]fully grasped that he was the fulfillment of OT Scripture; He knew that he would be raised on the third day [Hosea 6:2] eu+lambano.) Aquainted with sonship he was in the habit of [1]hearing from above; what he heard [2]distanced his from the effects of what he had suffered. (The word often translated as obedience is the word, [1, G5218 from G5219 from G5259 and G191] upoakuo, meaning under the influence of hearing, or hearing from above. "By" the things he suffered, [2, G575] apo, away from, distanced, completion. "Then I said, I read in your book what you wrote about me; so here I am, I have come to fulfill your will." [Hebrews 10:7]) By his perfect hearing he forever freed humanity to hear what he had heard. (He now makes it possible for us to hear in such a way that we may participate again in the full release of our original identity; the logos finding voice in the incarnation in us.) The authority of this high priestly order of Melchizedek [1]flows directly from GOD. ("Called" of GOD is from the word, [1, G4316 from G4314 and a derivative of G58 ] prosagereo, is from (G4314) pros, a preposition of direction, towards, face to face (G58 a kin to G1453) +ago, to awaken, to a rouse, to lead as a Shepherd leads his sheep, and +reo (Strong's number: G4482) to flow, or to run like water. His High Priestly office originates in GOD.) (The Mirror, with editing)

May the LORD increase our understanding of him.
