This episode of Office Hours tackles Hebrews 7:11–7:17. Who was Melchizedek and why is Hebrews so interested in him? What does the connection between Melchizedek say about Jesus and the nature of his priesthood? Why didn’t the Levitical priesthood bring perfection? How was the priesthood related to the law? How could a change in the priesthood change the law and what does that mean for the Dispensational and theonomic understandings of the history of redemption? Dennis Johnson helps us through these questions on this episode.
