Who are the people that we are finding, seeing, that are priests?
(CLV) Jer 33:21
then also My covenant could be annulled with David My servant, so that he should not come to have a son reigning on his throne, and that with the Levites, the priests, My ministers.
Should we take the words of our Creator at face value; or should we keep looking, to give them a different meaning?
Of course the Levitical tribe was the priestly tribe in Israel. I don't think anyone here has questioned that.
Yes, was.
The truth is that Christianity is not Judaism. That's why the Jews crucified Jesus and his disciples were hiding in fear of the Jews. When Christianity is mixed with Judaism it results in a quasi version of both. It's putting new wine into old wineskins, which results in a mess.
(CLV) Jer 33:20
Thus says Yahweh: If you could annul My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night so that daytime and night fail to come about in their proper time,
(CLV) Jer 33:21
then also My covenant could be annulled with David My servant, so that he should not come to have a son reigning on his throne, and that with the Levites, the priests, My ministers.
How do you reconcile that opinion with the words of Yahshua?
(CLV) Jn 4:22
You are worshiping that of which you are not aware; we are worshiping that of which we are aware, for salvation is of the Jews.
I agree that we should not pour new wine into old wineskins, but I don't see anyone trying to form a hybrid of faiths eidther. I see a searching of scripture in order to understand it. What do you make of the verses that have been referenced? Do you have any supporting references of scripture that would confirm what you are trying to communicate? I have a feeling I have not fully understood what you are trying to say.I wonder how may ways it can be tried to amalgamate Judaism with Christianity into an altered version of both to achieve a distorted hybrid.
Generally, at face value. But if that conflicts an obvious reality, then it's good to look for a different meaning, imo.(CLV) Jer 33:21

This would be an example
Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
The faith of the Roman Church was proclaimed in places like South America at that time? No, we wouldn't want to take that at face value, again imo.
So maybe there are levitical priests serving invisibly today. I think it's probably just been paused for a while.
Kind of like the way David was promised he would always have a son to sit on his throne yet I think there were long periods of time between the Babylonian captivity and Jesus' coming when there were sons of David around but they weren't on the throne ruling over Israel.
Hebrews 7:11 Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.
I wonder how long so many can ignore the fact that Yahshua was of the tribe of Judah; and he spent his entire ministry teaching obedience to the Torah.I wonder how may ways it can be tried to amalgamate Judaism with Christianity into an altered version of both to achieve a distorted hybrid.
No, I don't think he will ever annul those covenants.Interesting.
So do you believe at any time in the past, or in any time to come, that YHWH has, or will, annul his covenant with David or the Levites?

Well you know it's been a little over 2000 years so far.
From what I've read it wasn't until the 19th century that someone said 'hey wait a minute, we've gotten it all this time since the beginning, this is how it's supposed to be' and the Hebrew Christian movement began. And then Marin Rosen really got things rolling in the 1960s.
For some reason several people got a vision in the 19th century that Christianity had been wrong from the beginning and needed to be completely revamped into organizations like the Church of Jesus Christ, the Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, Millerites/Seventh Day Adventists, Hebrew Christian and so on.
We've come a long way toward getting back to the truth, since the days when it was illegal to own the Bible; so believers had to rely on the Catholic Church to tell them what the Bible said; because the leadership felt that the average believer couldn't understand Yahshua; so they told them in a dead language that very few of the masses could understand; as they were steeped in illiteracy, after the book burnings.
Some have come a little farther than others.
