Modelling from US CDC shows Ebola spread could be on ‘dangerous trajectory’, but experts warn outbreaks can be very hard to predict
Central Africa’s Ebola outbreak could spread to be similar in scale to the worst outbreak in history, west Africa’s 2014-2016 outbreak that killed more than 11,000 people, according to a new analysis by US health officials.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday published a range of scenarios generated by computer models, from 10,000 cases to more than 20,000. In the west Africa outbreak, more than 28,000 cases were reported.

Researchers have developed an AI-designed vaccine that could protect against a broad range of coronaviruses, including future strains that have not yet emerged.
Scientists at the University of Cambridge say the project marks the first time an Artificial Intelligence-designed vaccine antigen has been tested in human volunteers. They believe the technology could eventually help protect against entire families of viruses rather than individual strains.
Most vaccines are built using versions of viruses that are already circulating. As those viruses mutate, vaccines often need updating to remain effective. The new approach aims to overcome that challenge.
Researchers collected genetic information from a wide range of coronaviruses identified through surveillance programs that monitor viruses with pandemic potential. Artificial intelligence then analyzed the data and designed a “super-antigen,” a vaccine component intended to train the immune system to recognize many related coronaviruses at once.
Antigens are the parts of vaccines that teach the immune system what to attack. Researchers say the AI-designed antigen could potentially protect against current coronavirus variants as well as animal viruses that may one day spread to humans.
Professor Jonathan Heeney of the University of Cambridge described the research as a major shift in pandemic preparedness. He said the goal is to develop vaccines that protect against future threats rather than reacting after outbreaks occur.
The first human trial involved 39 volunteers and was designed to evaluate safety. Researchers reported no major safety concerns. A larger study involving about 200 participants is now underway to better understand how effectively the vaccine stimulates immune responses.

Results published in the Journal of Infection showed that the vaccine generated a measurable, though modest, immune response. Despite the early-stage findings, researchers and independent experts say the technology shows significant promise.
Professor Saul Faust of the University of Southampton, who helped conduct some of the trials, said the approach has strong potential, particularly for rapidly changing viruses that can spark future pandemics.
Researchers are already applying the technology to other diseases. Animal studies are underway on a universal influenza vaccine that could eliminate the need for yearly updates. Scientists are also developing vaccines targeting H5N1 bird flu and viral hemorrhagic fevers, including Ebola.
Professor Andy Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, said the findings add to growing evidence that artificial intelligence could transform vaccine research. He noted that future AI systems may help predict how the immune system will respond to vaccine candidates, potentially accelerating development.
Professor Marian Knight, scientific director at the National Institute for Health and Care Research, called the trial an important step toward broader and longer-lasting protection against viral diseases.
UK Science Minister Patrick Vallance said the early results demonstrate how artificial intelligence and scientific research can work together to create new medical tools.
Researchers caution that much larger studies are needed before the vaccine can be widely used. However, they believe the technology could help the world prepare for future pandemics before they begin.
Plan departs from policy of bringing CDC staff back to US for treatment and offering support to all health workers
Former top US officials and other experts are urging the Trump administration to abandon plans for an Ebola quarantine and treatment centre in Kenya, as the union for workers with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls for Americans exposed to Ebola to be brought home for treatment.
Soon after the US revealed it was setting up a field hospital in Kenya for the Ebola quarantine and treatment of Americans, the Kenyan high court blocked the order – but the Kenyan and US governments moved forward anyway, with the first American responders reportedly landing at the Laikipia airbase on Saturday.

Interview with Jean-Marc Sabatier by François Cotard on emerging viruses
During a lengthy interview broadcast on alternative media platforms, Jean-Marc Sabatier shared his views on several current public health topics, including hantaviruses, the Ebola virus, and Alpha-Gal syndrome.
The interview first focused on hantaviruses, a family of viruses that can cause pulmonary syndromes or hemorrhagic fevers. Jean-Marc Sabatier noted that these viruses are generally transmitted through contact with the feces, urine, or saliva of infected rodents and are not easily spread from person to person.
According to Sabatier, Moderna’s development of an mRNA vaccine targeting certain hantavirus strains as early as 2024 raises questions, particularly because these viruses are considered to have limited pandemic potential. He also described several biological mechanisms associated with these infectious agents and discussed laboratory research involving pseudoviruses.
The speakers emphasized that, based on the information available to them, the number of reported cases in Europe remains limited and that the situation does not currently warrant major concern.
The second part of the interview addressed the Ebola virus, particularly the Bundibugyo strain, which is currently being monitored in Central Africa.
Jean-Marc Sabatier reviewed the biological characteristics of the virus, its high fatality rate under certain circumstances, and its modes of transmission, primarily through contact with bodily fluids. He stressed that Ebola outbreaks have historically been contained through targeted public health measures.
The two participants also discussed funding for vaccine research directed at this specific strain. They expressed skepticism about the possibility of large-scale vaccination campaigns being implemented if the virus were to spread beyond Africa.
In addition, several potential treatments were mentioned, including certain monoclonal antibodies and older medications such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, although their effectiveness remains a subject of debate within the scientific community.
The third topic concerned Alpha-Gal syndrome, a red meat allergy that can develop following bites from certain tick species, particularly the Lone Star tick, which is found primarily in North America.
Jean-Marc Sabatier explained that the condition results from an immune reaction to a sugar molecule known as galactose-α-1,3-galactose, which is present in most mammals but absent in humans.
During the discussion, the participants referred to various claims circulating on social media regarding Bill Gates’s alleged involvement in programs related to ticks or synthetic meat. They suggested that connections between these topics might exist, although no direct evidence was presented during the interview.
Ongoing Criticism of Public Health Institutions
Throughout the conversation, the participants expressed skepticism toward certain public health institutions, including the World Health Organization (WHO), regulatory agencies, and major pharmaceutical companies.
Jean-Marc Sabatier specifically criticized the development of mRNA vaccines and argued that dissenting voices face difficulties being heard within scientific and media circles. He stated that he himself has experienced a form of marginalization because of his views.
In conclusion, despite the concerns raised during the interview, Jean-Marc Sabatier encouraged listeners not to panic in response to new public health alerts. According to him, it is important to maintain a critical mindset, consult multiple sources of information, and closely monitor evolving epidemiological situations without resorting to alarmism.

Islamic State-linked militia blamed for raids in North Kivu as governor says three patients with disease fled clinics
Rebel attacks around a town that is one of the centres of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have left more than 30 people dead over the past few days, complicating the response to the disease.
At least 10 people were massacred in raids on three villages around the city of Beni, in North Kivu, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Today I am offering to the public, free of charge, my just-published new eBook, The Concept of the American Christian Family is a Myth and is NOT Found Anywhere in the Bible.
This is the Introduction:
The purpose of this book is to show what the Bible actually teaches about families, which contradicts the “Judeo-Christian” view of the family that is taught throughout Christianity.
This book is composed of three articles I have previously published on the Health Impact News network.
The mythical “Christian Family” is not found anywhere in the pages of the Bible, either in the Old Testament or New Testament.
My intended audience in writing this are all the people in modern western culture who are labeled as “broken” or from “broken families” who have been beaten down by Corporate Christianity and western culture because of this mythical definition of “family” that is considered “good” or “Christian,” and which, as a result, conditions people to feel guilty and inferior because their own family situation does not come close to this mythical one that has been portrayed pretty much since the advent of TV and movies in mass media just after World War II.
To everyone who has been conditioned to believe that they are failures and inferior because they come from “broken” families, I am declaring to you today, that you are NOT broken!
You are “normal,” and you are just like every other family of believers that we get glimpses of in the historical records of the Ancient Scriptures, the Bible.
You can get this free eBook as an instant download in my online store, and while you are there you can view other free eBooks as well.

Parkinson’s Disease is a neurological disease that has increased in modern times, similar to Alzheimer’s Disease.
Studies have linked Parkinson’s Disease to an increase in the use of statin drugs, which artificially lower a person’s cholesterol levels.
Here are a couple of articles that have been published in the past here on Health Impact News regarding this topic:
The herbicide glyphosate has also been linked to Parkinson’s Disease. See:
Staying away from cholesterol-lowering drugs and limiting one’s exposure to the poison glyphosate in their diet could go a long way in preventing Parkinson’s Disease.
For those already suffering with Parkinson’s Disease, coconut oil is a natural remedy that can help people with this disease which has been known for over a decade-and-a-half now, and studies continue to be published on how effective coconut oil can be for people suffering with Parkinson’s Disease.
Here are a couple of recently published studies regarding Parkinson’s Disease and coconut oil:
Abstract
Purpose of review: This review examines the potential role of coconut-derived nutritional supplements in influencing Parkinson’s disease risk and progression by modulating oxidative stress and mitochondrial function. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of dopaminergic neurons, mitochondrial damage, and increased oxidative stress. Nutritional approaches have garnered attention as adjunctive therapeutic strategies.
Recent findings: The natural products of coconut, including coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut water, and coconut kernel, are rich in fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and other essential minerals, which can have neuroprotective effects. Additionally, evidence suggests an inverse correlation between coconut consumption and the PD prevalence. Consequently, nutrients obtained from coconut products represent promising natural neuroprotective agents for the prevention and management of PD. Further studies ought to focus more on clinical trials to confirm the effectiveness of coconut-based supplements and explain the underlying neuroprotective effects of these supplements in the management of PD.
Keywords: Coconut consumption; Coconut supplements; Neurological disorder; Nutritional deficiency; PD prevalence; Parkinson’s disease.
Abstract
Neurodegenerative disease (ND) is a clinical condition in which neurons degenerate with a consequent loss of functions in the affected brain region. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most progressive ND after Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which affects the motor system and is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons from the nigrostriatal pathway in the midbrain, leading to bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor, postural instability and non-motor symptoms such as cognitive declines, psychiatric disturbances, autonomic failures, sleep difficulties, and pain syndrome.
Coconut oil (CO) is an edible oil obtained from the meat of Cocos nucifera fruit that belongs to the palm family and contains 92% saturated fatty acids. CO has been shown to mediate oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and excitotoxicity-induced effects in PD in various in vitro and in vivo models as a multi-target bioagent. CO intake through diet has also been linked to a decreased incidence of PD in people.
During digestion, CO is broken down into smaller molecules, like ketone bodies (KBs). The KBs then penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and are used as a source of energy its ability to cross BBB made this an important class of natural remedies for the treatment of ND.
The current review describes the probable neuroprotective potential pathways of CO in PD, either prophylactic or therapeutic. In addition, we briefly addressed the important pathogenic pathways that might be considered to investigate the possible use of CO in neurodegeneration such as AD and PD.
Here are some testimonials from Parkinson’s Disease patients that we have published in the past.
I have been writing about and teaching people for 24 years now how beneficial coconut oil is for neurological diseases, and how dangerous statin drugs are, along with vaccines (especially the COVID vaccines) and the contamination of our food supply with glyphosate for neurological health.
And now that I am a senior myself, I have found that I have to increase my consumption of coconut oil, not only for neurological health, but for a lot of other reasons as well.

And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. (Hebrews 11:13-14)
by Brian Shilhavy
Hebrews chapter 11 in the New Testament part of the Bible is often called the “Faith Chapter” by Christians, with its long list of Old Testament “heroes of the faith.”
This is the chapter that is supposed to define “faith” with verses like this:
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)
But this chapter, within the context of the entire book of Hebrews, is more than just a showcase of “heroes of the faith.” It is the last chapter that culminates the argument that the New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant.
The earlier chapters deal with the superiority of Jesus Christ over the Mosaic Law, and also the superiority of the priesthood of Jesus Christ, and how the “household of God” has now replaced the Temple.
This chapter, chapter 11, deals with the promise given to Abraham under the Old Covenant that his descendants would inherit the “promised land” forever, believed by most Christians today to be the nation of Israel, and clearly shows that this promise had nothing at all to do with the nation of Israel, nor any other nation on earth.
And, of course, none of the people of faith named in this chapter were “heroes” at all during the time they lived. They were outcasts in their societies.
Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison.
They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated—the world was not worthy of them.
They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. (Hebrews 11:36-39)
As I wrote in a recent article about the non-Jewish office of High Priest that Jesus holds, Hebrews was written by Paul like a legal brief, proving that the New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant, and it is a masterpiece in rhetoric (the art of persuasion and debate) in ancient literature.
Chapter 11 is the culmination of that argument, dealing with the promise given to Abraham about the “promised land”, showing that not even the Old Testament saints who lived in ancient Israel had actually entered the “promised land”.
Here is the logic as written by Paul in the first 16 verses of Hebrews chapter 11.
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away.
For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
By faith Abraham, even though he was past age—and Sarah herself was barren—was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise.
And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance.
And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.
People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.
Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. (Hebrews 11:1-16)
Having concluded his argument, Paul now goes on to apply this truth to the Old Testament saints, showing just what kind of lifestyle their faith produced, in the rest of Hebrews chapter 11, and the chapters that follow.
As you read the rest of Hebrews chapter 11 and the description of the people of faith under the Old Covenant, compare it to American Christians today, who claim to live by faith, as they gathered together last weekend to honor their hero in “the faith”, Donald Trump.
By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him,
“It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”
Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones.
By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.
By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.
By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days. By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.
And what more shall I say?
I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.
Women received back their dead, raised to life again.
Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison.
They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword.
They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated—the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.
God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. (Hebrews 11:17-40)
The true people of faith are always the minorities, because they go against the crowd and the “heroes” of their culture, and we suffer for it.
The deceived Christians who believe Israel and the United States are special and more privileged than other nations because they are the “chosen ones”, and then flock to places like Washington D.C. to worship with millions of others who believe like they do, are not people living by faith in Jesus Christ, enduring the suffering of this world, which Jesus also suffered, until we enter into our real “promised land.”
No, these “believers” who worship their heroes have faith in this world, and the leaders of this world, who all serve Satan. See:

Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 5:8-10)
by Brian Shilhavy
The book of Hebrews in the New Testament portion of the Bible conclusively shows the superiority of the New Covenant, instituted by Jesus Christ, compared to the Old Covenant, instituted by Moses and The Law.
The authorship of the book is not stated, but it has historically been attributed to the apostle Paul, the author of many other portions of the New Testament, as the writing style is very similar. There may have been other contributing authors, but it is not a personal letter from Paul written to specific congregations of believers in various locations, like the rest of his writings.
It is written more like a legal brief, to be used by anyone who is a true believer in Jesus Christ, and it completely demolishes the arguments of the unbelieving Jews of Paul’s day, who are generally referred to as “Zionists” today, which include not only the unbelieving Jews, but a major portion of the Christian religions, especially the Evangelical Zionist Christians who are currently running the government of the United States of America.
This article will look at the superiority of the office of “High Priest” that Jesus was appointed to, which preceded the priesthood and office of high priest under the Law of Moses, and his brother Aaron who became the first Jewish high priest, because the priesthood of Jesus Christ is based on a priesthood that existed hundreds of years before Aaron and Moses were even born, and long before the “Jews” ever existed.
Jesus is the current reigning High Priest, and his believers and disciples now make up the “priesthood,” regardless of their ethnicity, earthly citizenship, or any religious affiliation.
Paul uses the character of Melchizedek, who is only briefly mentioned in the writings of Moses, in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, to explain this ancient priesthood.
Melchizedek was the king of Salem (later named Jerusalem) during the days of Abraham, and was “priest of God Most High.”
This is recorded in Genesis chapter 14, after Abraham and “318 trained men born in his household” went out to rescue Abraham’s nephew Lot, by defeating the military of four kings who had taken Lot and his family captive at that time.
When he came back from this victorious battle, he meets Melchizedek.
After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying,
“Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.”
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything. (Genesis 14:17-20)
This is all we know about this man named Melchizedek from the historical records, which is very important to note as we read what Paul wrote about him thousands of years later, in the book of Hebrews. His race, family line, and everything else about him is unknown based on the written historical records.
There is a lot of speculation about this mystery man, of course, and many Jews historically believed he was actually Shem, one of the three sons of Noah. But that is pure speculation.
He is mentioned one other time in the Old Testament, by King David, in Psalm 110. Here are the entire seven verses of Psalm 110:
Of David. A psalm.
The LORD says to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies.
Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth.
The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. He will drink from a brook beside the way; therefore he will lift up his head. (Psalms 110:1-7)
Paul references this Psalm in describing the priesthood of Melchizedek in Hebrews, but he is not the only one during those days who referenced this Psalm, as Jesus Christ himself also referenced it when he walked this earth in his human body.
It is recorded in Luke chapter 20, when the Jewish leaders tried to trap him in his speech while challenging his authority when he taught in the Temple of Jerusalem:
Then Jesus said to them,
“How is it that they say the Christ is the Son of David? David himself declares in the Book of Psalms:
“‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”‘
David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?“
(Luke 20:41-44)
The Jews had no answer to this.
Then on the Day of Pentecost recorded in the book of Acts, Peter also references Psalm 110:
For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”‘
Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:34-36)
We can see clearly in these passages that it was understood that the Jewish King David was prophesying about the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ, as being appointed to the priesthood of Melchizedek, a priesthood superior to the Jewish priesthood started by Moses and Aaron.
So with this background, let’s now look at what Paul wrote about the priesthood of Melchizedek in Hebrews chapter 7 and 8.
It is a masterpiece in rhetoric (the art of persuasion and debate), and nothing I write can improve upon it.
This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High.
He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything.
First, his name means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever.
Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!
Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, their brothers—even though their brothers are descended from Abraham.
This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater. In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.
One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor.
If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the law was given to the people), why was there still need for another priest to come—one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?
For when there is a change of the priesthood, there must also be a change of the law.
He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life.
For it is declared:
“You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:
“The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever.'”
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people.
He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.
If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.
This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle:
“See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.
For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
But God found fault with the people and said:
“The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord.
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
(Hebrews chapters 7 & 8)
Besides the office of High Priest, we see many priests who function in various capacities in the society of the First Century when the Bible was written.
As I have frequently written over the years, many of these “priests” functioned much like today’s medical doctors, having the authority to declare one “healed” from specific diseases.
When Jesus healed people, he was doing it outside of the Law of Moses, which only allowed priests from the line of Aaron to declare people “healed.”
This is why early in Jesus’s ministry, he often told the people he healed NOT to tell others who healed them, but to go directly to the Jewish priests so they could take credit for it.
A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees,
“If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.
“I am willing,” he said.
“Be clean!“
Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.
Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:
“See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news.
As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere. (Mark 1:40-45)
To learn more about this, see this article I wrote over 10 years ago:
When Jesus’s disciples also began to heal people under his authority as recorded in the book of Acts, many of the Jewish priests became believers in Jesus as the Messiah:
So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith. (Acts 6:7)
There were also non-Jewish priests who served in pagan temples offering healing services, and we encounter one of them in the book of Acts after Paul and Barnabas healed a crippled man:
In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out,
“Stand up on your feet!”
At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language,
“The gods have come down to us in human form!”
Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting:
“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.”
(Acts 14:8-15)
This is the true “priesthood” of believers, as we serve our great High Priest, Jesus Christ, who is a High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
We have the authority of Jesus Christ to actually heal people, not the corrupt medical system and their modern-day priests called “doctors,” who are trained to only manage disease and create life-long consumers of their products of witchcraft, pharmakeia – “medicines”, in the Satanic medical system.
Here’s what Peter wrote about our priesthood in the superior New Covenant:
As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:4-9)
The false believers among the Zionist Jews and Christians who today claim that THEY are the “chosen ones” with special privileges while continuing to quote passages from the Old Testament/Covenant, are servants of Satan and part of the brotherhood of Satan.
They neither know nor serve the true High Priest today, Jesus Christ. See:
Let me conclude this article with one very important point that we dare not ignore, as it is key to distinguishing between those who serve Satan and those who serve Jesus Christ: the path to salvation and perfection is a path of suffering while we remain in our human bodies.
This is what Paul wrote in Hebrews chapter 5:
Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek. (Hebrews 5:8-10)
Once you understand this as you go through your own suffering for standing for the Truth, then you will understand how the early believers in the New Testament actually rejoiced when they suffered for Jesus Christ, joining his own sufferings.
They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. (Acts 5:40-41)
God will not always rescue you from suffering and persecution, but he will be there with you through it all, providing comfort.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. (2 Corinthians 1:3-5)
If you are one of the true “chosen ones”, then you were put on this earth to do battle with Satan, and NOT to live a “good life” or seek “the American dream,” because those kinds of days await us in the future, in the Kingdom of God, after the battle is finished.
In the meantime, for those of you who are still pursing the “American dream” or the false teachings of Christianity, this is what I wrote back in 2017:
To everyone in America reading this let me give you my advice after serving God as a disciple of Jesus for almost 40 years now. Change is coming. It is inevitable. If you are not suffering now, if your life is not falling apart now, just wait.
Look at everything you currently depend upon, everything you cherish, and be prepared to lose it. (Source.)
