Hebrews 7:3 – he remains a priest perpetually

“Forever” does not always mean “for eternity, without end.” Sometimes it speaks of a lifetime (Ex.21:6; Deut.15:17; Ex.29:9 – of the Aaronic priesthood). If Melchizedek was still a high priest today, and since Jesus is High Priest today, there would be two High Priests. And this begs another question: If Jesus is our High Priest, then whose High Priest would Melchizedek be?

The term forever in Hebrew is olam and is used of Levitical priests: Ex.29:9; 40:15; Num.25:13; 1 Chron.15:2; 23:13
