Hebrews 1:13

Sit on my right hand. Quoted from Ps 110:1.

Until I make thy enemies thy footstool. The custom is alluded to of putting the feet on the necks of conquered enemies. See Jos 10:24,25. This passage is applied to Christ in Ac 2:35 and in 1Co 15:25.

Hebrews 5:6

As he saith also in another [place]. In Ps 110:4.

Thou [art] a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. Christ's priesthood continues while time endures. He is not of the order of Aaron, but of Melchizedek, a king as well as a priest. See Ge 14:18,19. For a fuller discussion of the priesthood of Melchizedek, see notes on Heb 7:1-10.

Hebrews 5:10

Called of God an high priest. When he had suffered he was called of God an high priest, or entered upon his priesthood.

After the order of Melchisedec. See notes on Heb 5:6 7:1-10.

Hebrews 7:17

Thou art a priest for ever, etc. See Ps 110:4. This declares that the Christ shall be a priest, a priest forever, a priest not of the order of Aaron, but of Melchizedek; a priest-king whose office abideth continually (Heb 7:3).

Hebrews 7:21

For those priests. The Aaronic priests.

Were made without an oath. Their priesthood did not rest upon an oath. Hence, it was not eternal; Christ's did, for God (see Ps 110:4) gave it the sanctity of an oath. The solemn words are significant: "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek".

Hebrews 10:13

From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. Waiting until every enemy is conquered.
