Isaiah 9:6-7

6 aFor to us a child is born,
to us ba son is given;
cand the government shall be dupon
Or is upon
his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Or is called

Wonderful gCounselor, hMighty God,
iEverlasting jFather, Prince of kPeace.
7Of the increase of his government and of peace
lthere will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
mwith justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
nThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

John 12:34

34So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that othe Christ remains forever. How can you say that pthe Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

Romans 6:9

9We know that qChrist, being raised from the dead, will never die again; rdeath no longer has dominion over him.

Hebrews 7:8-25

8In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one sof whom it is testified that the lives. 9One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, 10for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

Jesus Compared to Melchizedek

11 uNow if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14For it is evident that our Lord was descended vfrom Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

15This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17For it is witnessed of him,

wYou are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
18For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside xbecause of its weakness and uselessness 19(for ythe law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, za better hope is introduced, through which aawe draw near to God.

20And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him:

ab“The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind,
You are a priest forever.’”
22This makes Jesus the guarantor of aca better covenant.

23The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues adforever. 25Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost
That is, completely; or at all times
afthose who draw near to God agthrough him, since he always lives ahto make intercession for them.

Hebrews 7:28

28For the law appoints men aiin their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made ajperfect forever.

Hebrews 13:8

8Jesus Christ is akthe same yesterday and today and forever.

Revelation of John 1:18

18and the living one. alI died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and amI have the keys of Death and Hades.
