OUR FATHER WHO PROVIDED A NEW COVENANT

Hebrews chapter 8 verse 4 says this;

If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.

This verse is the book of Hebrews speaks to the question of the role of the Lord of Jesus Christ as a priest in heaven.

The role of a priest on earth  already fulfils the functions prescribed by the law and so the new priest (who is the Lord Jesus) serves as a priest in the heavenly tabernacle which is what the earthly tabernacle was modeled after.

Whereas the earthly priests offer sacrifices in the man-made tabernacle, the ministry of the  heavenly priest, in the heavenly tabernacle set up by the Lord Himself, offers a superior ministry because it is based on better promises.

Thus the new priest serves a new covenant making the old covenant become obsolete.

Amen
