7:1 In the Book of Genesis we meet Melchizedek who appears now in this seventh Book of Hebrews. Melchizedek worked directly with God and with God's children (Abraham in this instance).
7:2 Melchizedek's description should sound familiar... it is the exact description of Jesus. This verse suggests Jesus' presence in the earth a second time, preceding His more known and celebrated arrival in the New Testament.
The name meaning of Melchizedek is: "King of Righteousness." Rather than simply a name (as with all names used for Jesus) this is more of a description of His character and Spirit.
7:3 Jesus is a continual beacon of this philosophy of faith. There is no transition of power. His selflessness and hard-working compassion for humanity qualified Him for this eternal position. The manifestation of humility and compassion, love, true and wisdom need not have parents... those elements are His parents. He is the living, breathing manifestation of good. Goodness is His DNA.
7:4 Jesus is a very consistent spirit: as miraculously kind and generous as He was with the disciples, He has been, is and will be with all souls. The brilliance of His character inspires others to recognize Him as what He is: a manifestation of our wise and loving creator.
7:5-6 Jesus was accepted as family. He was accepted as the holy minister of this faith not because he was geologically related to any specific respected family but because he represented a collective, spiritual kin.
7:7-8 The religious and spiritual leaders here receive tithes and donations but Jesus, our ultimate spiritual leader receives us. We benefit from Him, always. Although our gratitude to Him is immeasurable, we receive the gift as He receives us.
7:9-10 Levi would become representative of the priesthood, a genealogy of people devoted to the faith. Levi was devoted even before birth through Abraham's DNA. Abraham's love and devotion to this philosophy of love became an energy in the earth. Just as the energy we, individually put out into the world, it inspired the people and condition of the world around him.
Therefore, even those who were considered to most holy revered this King Melchizedek, who existed on a higher plane of spirituality than had yet been the world.

7:11 As He does, Jesus came when humanity required a nudge toward compassion.
7:12-13 In establishing new compassionate order here on earth (but ancient and eternal in spirit), our creator manifested a Spirit with the ability to do so... and expertly. A new and fresh, pure and wise philosophical-system requires a leader in similar nature.
7:14-15 This new, fresh, purely compassionate message could not come through a broken system. The law that people were following was corrupted, tainted and leading them astray.
7:16-17 Jesus comes not through man-made government or organization but through God and from God. Jesus lives eternally as His source of life is God. When we accept our creator as our source of life, we douse ourselves in eternity as well.
7:18 The man-made systems of the world are fallible: weak, sometimes selfish and even cruel. Mankind has not yet mastered a system which promotes and supports the well-being of all souls.
7:19 Our creator's philosophy however, is inclusive and impartial. Generously and abundantly provides hope for all who claim it.

7:20-22 Separate from corruption like nepotism, Jesus achieved and secured His place as the ultimate fellow-worker of God and pillar of this faith from God. The universe has a compassionate energy and nature, the closer a soul matches its energy and nature, the further and more efficiently propelled that soul is by the universe's energy and nature.
7:23-24 Jesus as our pillar is unwavering, unchanging, unstoppable. Up until His arrival, the world was largely unaware of immortality. He revealed the spiritual system of life.
7:25 Through the love and compassion He represents, manifests and inspires, many find their way to spirituality, to identification with our Creator. No other soul had such an abounding ability.
7:26 His love and honestly, wisdom and truth supersedes the limits of our frame of mind, of our world and even universe. For He is: holy, harmless (gentle and kind), undefiled (by greed and selfishness), and separate from sin.
7:27 Having devoted His whole self and life to humanity, there is no sin by Him to be redeemed. His entire focus and purpose and potential is passionate for our well-being and life.

7:28 We are encouraged to be led and inspired not by fallible systems of humankind but by this natural and spiritual philosophy of life and faith which is infallible.
