“And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;”
Leviticus 21:10 KJV
Under the law given to Moses, the high priest was forbidden to rend his clothes among other things, or he was disqualified from being the high priest. When Jesus stood before Caiphas the high priest, Caiphas asked Him if He was the Messiah, the Son of God? Jesus replied that Caiphas has said it and that they will see Him on the right hand of power coming in the clouds of heaven. Caiphas rent his garments as he cried blasphemy, and disqualified himself from being the high priest, ending the Levitical priesthood and this was the start of Jesus, our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. We have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, and we hold fast our profession. For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Jesus is called of God an High Priest after the order of Melchisedec. Let us draw near to Him by faith. Thank You Father!
