Monergism writes:

Rev 13:8 And all those dwelling in the earth will worship it, those of whom the names had not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb having been slain from the foundation of the world.
Compare the Greek in Hebrews 1:8 and Heb 6:20:
1:8 'Forever and ever'
Heb 1:8 but as to the Son, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, A scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom;
6:20 'forever'
Heb 6:20 where Jesus entered as forerunner for us, having become a High Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.
Was not Christs priesthood eternal? Was Christ a preincarnate Melchizedek?
