Did Aaronic Priesthood last for ever? NO. The same with land promises, as Larry pointed out. The Aaronic Priesthood was superceeded by the Priesthood of Christ. Everything in scripture points and leads up to Christ. God isn't into letting carnal blessings become the ultimate blessings. | Keon,
Thanks. That's very helpful when thinking about promises made being forever, especially while keeping in mind what Hebrews says.
