אז תשמח בתולה במחול ובחרים וזקנים יחדו והפכתי אבלם לששון ונחמתים ושמחתים מיגונם׃
Scriptural Confirmations # 8
8. 6. One God, one Mediator, Christ (1 Timothy 2:5-6).
God was manifest in the flesh, seen, received up (1 Timothy 3:16).
If we are act faithful, He abideth faithful: He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13).
They profess that they know God, but in works they deny Him (Titus 1:16).
He hath in the last days spoken unto us in the Son whom He hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds [saecula]; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the word of His power [after] He had by Himself made purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; to whom did He ever say, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee? (Psalms 2:7) and He saith, Let all the angels of God worship Him (Psalms 97:7); and many things in Hebrews (1:2-9, 13).
Thou madest Him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst Him with glory and honor, and didst set Him over all the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. But we see not yet all things put under Him. It became Him for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, to be the author of their salvation (Hebrews 2:7, 8, 10). He is called the chief priest and the high priest (Hebrews 2:17; 3:1). We have a great chief priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God (Hebrews 4:14). Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10; 6:20; 7:1-3, 10-11, 15, 21). Here concerning the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:10-11).
Hebrews 5
1
For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
5
So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."
6
As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek."
7
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
8
though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
9
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,
10
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
12
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
13
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
14
But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
