The New and Old Priesthood Covenants

The heathen christian bibles are out to deceive and make people believe in the lies of satan. By using the word law and covenant as if they’re the same thing i.e. the Old Torah/Moshah’s Torah/Law/Covenant and the New Torah/Commands/Covenant. The Torah cannot be described as just law. There are at least 6 levels of descriptions of the Torah and at least 5 words to describe the Torah before you use the word law. Its ALAHYM YAHUAH’s Torah and can be described as Moshah’s and YAHUSHA’s Torah in the different contexts. Law I used to replace the words penalties, precepts, ordinances, Talmud (Manmade laws), curse, Torah, etc that not only deceives you but makes one hate the Torah (Old Covenant/Laws)

We won’t be dealing with the Torah but with the covenants of the Malek Tzedek Priesthood and Levitical Priesthood to take away the deception and lies about the YAHUAH’s Old and New covenants with YAHisrael, which we’ll briefly touch on. And focus on separating the mixing of the covenants with YAHisrael and the priesthood covenants.

The New Covenant is yet to take place.

Jer 31:31. Behold, the days come, says YAHUAH, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of YAHisrael and with the house of Judah, Jer 31:32. not according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt (which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was to be a husband to them, says YAHUAH). Jer 31:33. But this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of YAHisrael: After those days, declares YAHUAH, I will put My Torah in their inward parts, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their ALAHYM, and they shall be My people.

The above scriptures confirm that the New Covenant is only between YAHUAH and YAHisrael. YAHUAH’s will was that the YAHudites reject YAHUSHA as Ha Mashiach so that salvation may be offered to the gentiles. For the gentiles to receive the salvation they would have to convert over to become part of YAHisrael. The New Covenant is not with the gentiles.

Jer 31:34. And they shall no longer each man teach his associate, and each man his brother, saying, Know YAHUAH. For they shall all know Me, from the least of them even to the greatest of them, declares YAHUAH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more.

Jer 31:34 confirms that when YAHUAH writes His Torah on the hearts of the YAHisraelites there’ll be no need for men to teach each other the Set Apart Spirit within them will reveal YAHUAH to them. Until then we need to keep doing the Torah and writing the Torah onto our own hearts.

The following scriptures confirms that the New Covenant between YAHUAH and YAHisrael did not take place at the time of the death of YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach and must still happen. The Lost House amongst the gentiles have to convert into YAHisrael.

Rom 11:25. For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be wise within yourselves, that hardness in part has happened to YAHisrael until the fullness of the foreign/heathen nations comes in; (Gen. 48:8-19.) Rom 11:26. and so all the tribes of YAHisrael will be saved, even as it has been written, “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away iniquity from Yahqob. Rom 11:27. And this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.” (Isa. 59:20, 21; Jer. 50:3-8.) Rom 11:28. Indeed, according to the good news, they are enemies toward you, but according to election, they are beloved for the sake of the patriarchs. Rom 11:29. For YAHUAH does not withdraw His free gift and His calling.

In the time of Abraham there was a Royal Priesthood called Malek Tzedek the royal priest was the King of Salem (YAHrusalem) who was Shem. Since Ahdam the first born son was the royal priest. Shem was Noah’s first born Son. YAHUSHA is the 2nd Ahdam as the first born Son of YAHUSHA. So what happened with this royal Priesthood since then and the time of YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach?

YAHUAH formalises the Priesthood in a covenant with His set apart people YAHisrael.

Exo 19:5 And now if listening you will listen to My voice, and will keep My covenant (Priesthood), you shall become a special treasure to Me above all the nations, for all the earth is Mine.

Exo 19:6 And you shall become a kingdom of priests for Me, a set apart nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the sons of YAHisrael.

ALAHYM designed to lead YAHisrael through a royal everlasting Priesthood. But they were rebellious and did not receive their endowments and the Malek Tzedek Priesthood. Pleading with Moshah that they did not want to see the face of ALAHYM YAHUAH. They hardened their hearts. They could not endure His presence. Moshah, despite all the power which ALAHYM gave him, and the revelations which He poured out upon him—Moshah could not succeed in leading that people forward. They were a stiff-necked race; they were a rebellious race; they were an idolatrous race; they were hard in their hearts; and they would not have ALAHYM to be their King. They wanted a lower order of affairs; they wanted lower laws, laws that were more in accordance with their fallen and carnal natures. Therefore according to those revelations which ALAHYM has given unto us, He took Moshah out of their midst, and the Set Apart Priesthood also, and the lesser Priesthood was put in place, the Levitical Priesthood of Aaron, a Priesthood that held the keys of the ministering of malakim and the preparatory good news, the good news of repentance and baptism for the remission of sins. He left that with them, and the law of carnal commandments which YAHUAH in His wrath caused to continue with the house of Aaron among the children of YAHisrael until John.

ALAHYM cursed the children of Israel because they would not receive the last law from Moshah [see D&C 84:19-25; JST Exodus 34:1-2] The law was given under Aaron for the purpose of pouring out judgments and destructions. The Priesthood of Aaron administers in outward ordinances and the blood offerings. Priests [are] made without an oath but the Priesthood of Malek Tzedek is by oath and covenant. The Levitical covenant was never able to administer favour, but only to bind heavy burdens which neither they nor their fathers [were] able to bear. This covenant did not admit a man into the presence of ALAHYM. The Levitical Priesthood was a temporary appendage to the Torah of ALAHYM. Although Malachi says that the sons of Levi shall in the last days (Millennium) offer an offering in righteousness. It would not be for the atonement of sins and abolishing of curses but in remembrance that the blood of lambs could not do what the blood of YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach did.

To achieve His original plan of His Malek Tzedek Priesthood YAHUAH would now have to send His Son as the High Priest of the Malek Tzedek Priesthood to lead YAHisrael forward until they should behold the face of their ALAHYM and see Him for themselves.

I advise you to read the whole Hebrews 7, 8, 9 + 10 I’m going to add the detail of what is been said for you to understand the Priesthood Covenants.

Heb. 7 – “For this “Malek Tzedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High ELOHIYM,” the one meeting Abraham… …but like the Son of YAHUAH, His priesthood remains forever. (The Malek Tzedek Priesthood is forever and the Levitical Priesthood is temporary) …If, therefore, perfection had been reached by the Levitical priesthood, by which the Torah was enacted for the people; what further need was there for another priest to rise after the order of Malek Tzedek?.. …But as there is a change in the priesthood (Malek Tzedek replaces Levitical priesthood.), of necessity a change in the instruction of Torah also occurs (The temporary Levitical Laws are done away with). …For it is evident that our Master has risen out of YAHudah, as to which tribe Moshah spoke nothing concerning priesthood. And it is still more abundantly clear because He said that another priest would arise according to the order of Malek Tzedek, who has not become so according to a law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of life which abides forever. For it is testified, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Malek Tzedek.” (Psa. 110:4.) And the change which took place in the former law (Levitical), was made on account of its weaknesses, and because it had fulfilled its usefulness. For the (Levitical) Law perfected nothing, but a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to YAHUAH. And He confirmed it for us by oath; For they became priests without an oath; but this man by an oath. As He said to Him by Da’ud: “YAHUAH hath sworn, and will not lie, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Malek Tzedek.” (Psa. 110:4.) All these things make a better covenant because YAHUSHA is its surety. …but this one, because He is immortal, has the priesthood which remains forever. And from this He is able to save forever those who come to YAHUAH through Him, because He lives forever to intercede on their behalf… …For He did this once for all, offering up Himself. For the (Levitical) Law makes men high priests who are imperfect, but the word of the oath which came after the (Levitical) Law appoints the Son who is perfect forever.

Heb. 8 – Now the sum of the whole thing is this: We have a High Priest, who is seated on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven: (Psa. 110:1.) But now, YAHUSHA The Messiah hath received a ministry which is greater than that: also by so much more, He is a Mediator of a better covenant (Malek Tzedek), and so are the promises greater than the first covenant. For if that first (Levitical Priesthood) was faultless, there would have been no need for a second (Malek Tzedek Priesthood).

Heb. 8:8. For finding fault with them, He said to them, “Behold, days are coming, says YAHUAH, and I will make a new covenant with the house of YAHisrael and the house of Judah; Heb. 8:9. not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day of My taking hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I rejected them, says YAHUAH. Heb. 8:10. Because this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of YAHisrael after those days, says YAHUAH, I will give My Laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts, and I will be their ELOHIYM, and they shall be My people.” Heb. 8:11. And they shall no more teach each one their associate, and each one his brother, saying, Know YAHUAH; because all shall know Me, from the least of them to their great ones. Heb. 8:12. For I will be compassionate to their upright standing with YAHUAH, and I will not at all remember their sins and their lawless deeds.” (Jer. 31:31-34.) Heb. 8:13. In the saying, New, He has made the first old. And the thing being made old and obsolete is near disappearing. It is the Old Covenant (The death penalty contract) which had no avenue to forgive sin, which has grown old and is disappearing, not the Torah, which is forever (Psa. 111:7-8). The ceremonial laws ended in 70AD when the Temple was destroyed but will continue when the Temple is rebuilt and in the millennium.

This portion of the scriptures is where the mixing of the covenants and Torah takes place that deceives people. YAHUAH is talking about His Old Covenant with Moshah and His New Covenant with YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach. As well as the Levitical Covenant which has a death penalty to be replaced by the New Malek Tzedek Covenant which has an option of undeserved favour. The Old and the New are the Priesthood Covenants.

Heb. 9 – Truly then, the first covenant (Levitical) also had ordinances of service… … But Ha Mashiach having appeared as a High Priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, nor through the blood of goats and of calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all into the most Set Apart of the Set Apart, having obtained for us everlasting salvation. For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the sprinkling of ashes of a heifer on those having been defiled, sets them apart to the redemption of the flesh, by how much more the blood of Ha Mashiach who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to YAHUAH, will purify your conscience from dead works, to serve the living ELOHIYM! And for this reason he became the Mediator of the New Covenant (Malek Tzedek), that He might by his death be redemption, to them who had transgressed the first covenant (Levitical); so that they, who are called to the eternal inheritance, might receive the promise. For where there is a testament, it shows the death of him who made it. For a covenant (Malek Tzedek) is affirmed over those dead, since it never has force when he who has made it is living. For this reason not even the first covenant (Levitical) was confirmed without blood. For when the whole ordinance had been propounded by Moshah to all the people, according to the law (Levitical); Moshah took the blood of a heifer, and water, with scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the scrolls and upon all the people; saying, “This is the blood of the covenant (Levitical) which is ordained to you by YAHUAH.” (Ex. 24:8.) … purified by blood according to the law (Levitical); and apart from shedding of blood no remission occurs. (Lev. 17:11). Ha Mashiach did not enter into the most Set Apart of the Set Apart made by hands, which is a symbol of the true one, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of YAHUAH on our behalf,

Heb. 10 – For the Levitical Law had in it a shadow of the good things to come, but not the substance of those things themselves… … for it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away (the penalty of) sins. For this reason, coming into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for Me. You did not delight in burnt offerings and sin offerings.” “Then I said, Lo, I come, as it is written about me in the beginning of the Books I delight to do Your will, O ALAHYM.” (Psa. 40:6-8.). Above, when He said, “You did not desire nor were pleased with sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offerings concerning sins,” (which are offered according to the Levitical Law), then He said, “Lo, I come to do Your will, O YAHUAH.” He takes away the first (Levitical Covenant) in order that He may set up the second (Malek Tzedek); by which will we are redeemed through the offering of the body of YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach once for all. And indeed every priest stands day by day ministering, and often offering the same offerings, which can never take away (the penalty of) sins. But He, offering but one sacrifice for sins, “sat down” in perpetuity “at the right hand” of YAHUAH, from then on expecting “until His enemies are placed as a footstool” under His feet. (Psa. 110:1.) For by one offering He has perfected in perpetuity the ones being Set apart. And the Set Apart Spirit witnesses to us also. For after having said before, “This is the covenant which I will covenant to them after those days, says YAHUAH: Giving My Torah on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds;” also He adds, “I will not at all still remember their sins and their lawless deeds.” (Jer. 31:33 – 34.) But where remission of these is, there is no longer offering (Levitical Law) concerning sins… …For if we are wilfully sinning after receiving the full knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice (Levitical Law) concerning sins, …the one trampling the Son of YAHUAH, and having counted the blood of the covenant (Malek Tzedek) as common in which he was set apart, and having insulted the Spirit of un-deserved favour?

Gal 3:16 Now the promises which were made to Abraham and to his seed as a covenant. He did not say, “To your descendants,” as many but, “To your descendants”, as one, that is Ha Mashiach. (Gen. 3:15; 21:12; 22:18; Rom.9:6; Heb. 11:18)

Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant which was previously confirmed by ALAHYM in Ha Mashiach cannot be repudiated and the promise nullified by the (Levitical) Law that came four hundred and thirty years later.

Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance is through the (Levitical) Law then it would not be as the fulfillment of promise; but ALAHYM gave it to Abraham by promise.

Gal 3:19 Why then the (Levitical) Law? It was placed beside (The Torah) for the sake of transgressions, until the Seed should come, to whom it had been promised, being given by promise in a mediator’s hand.FN2

Gal 3:20 Now a mediator does not represent one alone, but ALAHYM is one (echad).

Gal 3:21 Then is the (Levitical) Law against the promises of YAHUAH? ALAHYM forbid! For if a law had been given which had been able to make alive, indeed righteousness would have been out of Law.

Gal 3:22 But the Scripture locked up all under sin, that the promise by faith of YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach might be given to the ones believing.

Gal 3:23 But before the coming of faith, we were protected under Law, having been locked up to the faith being about to be revealed.

Gal 3:24 So that the (Levitical) Law has become a trainer of us until Ha Mashiach, that we might be justified by faith.

Gal 3:25 But since faith has come, we are no longer under trainers;

Gal 3:26 for you are all sons of YAHUAH through faith in Ha Mashiach YAHUSHA.

Gal 3:27 For as many as were baptized into Ha Mashiach, you put on Ha Mashiach.

Gal 3:28 There cannot be Jew nor Aramean, there is no slave nor freeman, there is no male and female; for you are all one (echad), united in Ha Mashiach YAHUSHA.

Gal 3:29 And if you are of Ha Mashiach, then you are seeds of Abraham, even heirs according to the promise.

FN1 The curse is for disobeying the Torah, there is only blessing for obedience.

Rejoice in the knowledge that YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach died for the atonement of our sins before the foundation of mankind. John 17:5, 1 Pet 1:18-20, Rev 13:8. YAHUAH came as a man to die on a tree so that the curse of death may be replaced by His undeserved favour. The new promises of the Malek Tzedek is freely available to all who belief in ALAHYM YAHUAH and the trustworthiness of YAHUSHA Ha Mashiach. Guard the Torah and keep your salvation until the redemption of YAHudah and YAHisrael for the day to enter into the New Covenant between YAHUAH and YAHisrael.
