In this episode, this series on “covenant” is being brought full circle by tracing a single, unified thread running from Abraham to Messiah. Rather than presenting Scripture as a story of replaced covenants, what I am attempting to emphasize is continuity—revealing that Yah’s redemptive plan has always been rooted in ONE unbreakable promise.

At the center of it all is the distinction between the Abrahamic covenant and the Mosaic covenant. The promise given to Abraham in Genesis 12, and the covenant confirmation in Genesis 15 is shown to be unilateral, irrevocable, and grounded in faith, securing inheritance through the promised Seed, identified as Messiah.

In contrast, the covenant at Sinai establishes a conditional, national framework for how Israel was to live as a kingdom of priests within that promise. These covenants are not in opposition to anything, but complementary parts of a larger design and plan. Promise precedes law, and inheritance is rooted in Yahuah’s oath. This is where understanding Paul is so important, yet so widely misunderstood today. My hope is that this series has brought some clarity to this topic.

This episode highlights a critical turning point at the golden calf incident, where Israel’s failure led to a shift from a kingdom of priests to a nation with priests, introducing the Levitical system as a mediated and temporary structure. This system—though holy and beautiful and purposeful—is presented as preparatory, pointing forward to something greater (this is something that will be discussed through the prophets in coming episodes).

That “something greater” is the restoration of the Melchizedek priesthood through Messiah. He becomes the perfect sacrifice, bears the covenant curses, and inaugurates a new administration of access to the Most High. This “New Covenant,” prophesied in Jeremiah 31, does not discard the law but internalizes it—writing it on the hearts of believers and enabling true covenant faithfulness from within.

A key theme of understanding covenant is understanding access: what was lost through covenant breach is restored through Messiah. The Levitical system regulated access through repeated sacrifices and external mediation, but under the Melchizedek order, believers are invited to “draw near” with confidence through a once-for-all sacrifice and an eternal High Priest.

Ultimately, this episode reframes the conversation around Torah, covenant, and obedience. It is meant to challenge the idea of lawlessness while also rejecting a return to shadow systems, and instead calling us into the fullness of what those shadows pointed toward. Fulfillment is not abolition—it is completion.

“Recovering the Melchizedek line” means rediscovering our identity as a restored kingdom of priests, living in the reality of Yah’s promise to Abraham (and his SeedMessiah) through a transformed heart. This episode serves as both a conclusion and a launching point, setting the stage for deeper exploration into the meaning and implications of the Melchizedek priesthood in the episodes to come.

I can’t wait.

In this episode, we are going to explore one of the most debated questions within the body: What does it mean when certain verses in the Bible say something was “against us,” “abolished,” or “changed”?

Many Believers read verses like Colossians 2:14, Ephesians 2:15, and Hebrews 7 and assume that Yah’s law itself was removed. But when we step back and read Scripture carefully we begin to see a much bigger picture. And this bigger picture requires us to go back to Genesis. That is why we started there in this podcast season.

Throughout the Bible, Yah’s commandments are described as perfect, righteous, and life-giving. So how could something “good” also be “against us?” The key is understanding the difference between the spirit of the law and the priestly ordinances and administrations that were added because of transgression.

In this episode, we look at passages that speak about things being annulled, abolished, or changed, and we examine them through the lens of the priesthood. Scripture reveals that Messiah did not abolish God’s instructions; rather, He fulfilled the prophetic plan that was already written in the Torah. With His coming, there was a change in priestly administration, returning to the older and eternal order of the Melchizedek priesthood—a priesthood that existed long before Sinai.

When we understand this shift, the language of “change” and “abolishment” no longer appears as a contradiction. Instead, it reveals the unfolding of Yahuah’s redemptive plan. What seems like disruption is actually restoration—bringing His people back to the promises given to Abraham and the calling to become a kingdom of priests.

I’ve never shared a disclaimer when introducing podcast episodes, but this episode is a very technical and tedious study through Scripture. It requires focus, patience, and a willingness to slow down because it is very detail-heavy. This is one that will challenge the way you think about the “Mosaic Covenant.” Also—I encourage you to listen to Episode 9 (the previous episode) before listening to this one.

In this episode, we will tackle the chronology of the ordering of events and the giving of commandments in the books of Moses. The question we will be addressing is: Are the books of Moses written in strict chronological order...or is there something deeper going on?

We will carefully walk through the timeline from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab and uncover how the Torah is actually structured—showing that while the narrative often flows forward, the commandments and events are not always recorded in the order they happened. This distinction changes EVERYTHING.

We will cover:
--When Aaron and his sons were truly consecrated
--When and why the Levites were set apart
--How the Golden Calf incident became a turning point for priesthood and mediation
--The difference between appointment vs. installation of the Levites
--Why some passages in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy appear “out of order”
--What it means that Israel went from a kingdom of priests to a kingdom with priests

By comparing Scripture with Scripture, we begin to piece together a more accurate timeline—one that reveals how the Levitical priesthood was established after the Golden Calf incident, and how that shift impacts covenant understanding.

This episode will also piece these findings together to form a bigger picture regarding the distinction between the covenants in Moses, the role of mediation, and how this ultimately points us to the greater High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Throughout this episode, you may be provoked to think, what’s the big deal, and why does this even matter?

It matters because understanding the Melchizedek Priesthood matters.

This episode may challenge you. But this is not a surface-level conversation—it’s an invitation into deeper study.
