Christ Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek;11. and so far more excellent than the priests of Aaron's order. (15, 16) And it is.--That which is "yet far more evident" is the proposition of the preceding verses, viz., the failure of the Levitical priesthood to bring "perfection" (Hebrews 7:11), a failure placed beyond doubt by the change of priesthood (Hebrews 7:13-14). "And what we are speaking of is yet more abundantly evident if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest, who hath been made (priest) not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life."

It is evident that the Antitype of Melchizedek, the subject of the hundred and tenth psalm, rather than Melchizedek himself, suggests here the language used.
