4. The perpetuity of the priesthood, here asserted on God's oath,
corresponds with that of the kingly office just explained.
after the order--
(Heb 7:15)
after the similitude of Melchisedek, is fully expounded by Paul, to
denote not only perpetuity, appointment of God, and a royal priesthood,
but also the absence of priestly descent and succession, and
superiority to the Aaronic order.
