The English translations
are not very accurate. Below is the proper
translation of the "Change" that occured in The Law in Hebrews 7:12.
The word translated "change in the Law"
in Hebrews 7:12 is Greek word #3331 in Strong's. If you look this word
up, the proper translation and meaning of this word is NOT "change"
it is "transfer to Heaven"...
transposition.
In context, this scripture is
explaining the superiority of the
Spiritual Melchizedek Priesthood over the physical
portrait and human priesthood of Levi. The Levitical Priesthood was
given to help us understand physically what Yahshua would do
Spiritually as High Priest before YHWH (physical to spiritual
parallels). And given the final High Priest has come and taken His
position as the King of Righteousness or Melchizedek... the human
priesthood of Levi was TRANSFERRED over to Melchizedek and so was
the Law by which the priesthood has authority to make atonement!
Below is how Hebrews 7:12 should have been translated:
Hebrews 7:12
"for when there is a
transfer of the priestly office (of
Levi to Melchizedek), out of necessity there
is ALSO A TRANSFER of the LAW of the priesthood (by
which the Priesthood has authority)"
In other words, now Yahshua
is the High Priest and has all the duties and authority provided Him
by the Law of YHWH concerning sacrifices and atonement. Both the
priesthood and the Law that governs it was transferred to
Melchizedek (Yahshua) not abolished. Both the High Priesthood and
The Law were "transferred to heaven" or transposed.
Hebrews 7:12 where it says "change in
the Law" is a mistranslation used to assist
Roman Catholicism and Christianity to do away with the Law of
YHWH. The correct translation of the Greek word metaqesiV is
"transfer to heaven". Meaning both the Law which governs and
defines the sacrifices made by the High Priest as well as the High
Priesthood was transferred to Heaven with Yahshua... NOT
abolished. Below is the Strong's entrance... the word metathesis
means "transposition" or a transfer of position in this case to
heaven.
