BAPTISM OF FIRE

Hebrews 7:28 (KJV)
“For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.”
Hebrews 7:28 (NLT)
28 The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed his Son with an oath, and his Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever.

The fiery baptism of death bringing Him into this place is the fire He came to bring to us (Luke 12:49). While some seek to burn the flesh of men; God seeks to burn the hearts (willful choice) of men. It is through and by His shed blood we are made to be kings and priests (Revelation 1:5-6); a priesthood after the order of Melchisedec, a kingly priesthood of peace. The consternation and tension ricking havoc among humanity gives reason as to why this priesthood has come to be. He has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; He has been made the perfect High Priest forever. There is nothing in the heavens or in the earth that can ever reverse or change this. This is why we either work with it or we work against it; willful submission is the only sustaining quality in this fire.
