17"For thus says the LORD: "David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18nor shall the priests, the Levites, lack a man to offer burnt offerings before Me, to kindle grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually."'

Just an initial observation. I seems to me that the promise is that there whould always be somone to be priest, not necessarily a Levite to be priest. If I'm reading correctly then that means they have Christ to be their preist forever. Plus, we have the examle of Samuel serving before the Lord under Eli, and he was of the tribe of Ephraim not Levi. Just some thoughts...
