Contrary to what mainstream Pastors, Priests, Evangelists, and Churches are preaching, the LAW (Torah) of giving God's TITHES was not affected by the CHANGE of the Law of Priesthood. Hebrews 7:12 and other related Scriptures are saying that it is only the LAW OF PRIESTHOOD that changed; NOT the LAW OF GIVING TITHES! In other words, the CHANGE OF THE LAW OF PRIESTHOOD, DID NOT CHANGE or ANNUL THE LAW of the GIVING OF GOD'S TITHES (Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 7:11-16).

The LAW OF TITHING already existed in the Eternal MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD, even BEFORE the temporary Levitical Priesthood (Genesis 14:18-20).
- And MELCHIZEDEK King of Salem brought forth Bread and Wine: and He was the Priest of the Most High God. (Gen 14:18 KJV)
- And ABRAM GAVE HIM (MELCHIZEDEK) TITHES OF ALL. (Gen 14:20 KJV)
- … LEVI himself, who receives TITHES, has PAID TITHES through Abraham, for he was still within his Forefather when MELCHIZEDEK met him. (Heb 7:9-10 HCSB)
If we give Tithes to the Levitical Priesthood, how much more should we give God's Tithes to the MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD, which is greater? (Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 7:4-10).
- Now consider HOW GREAT THIS MAN was, unto whom even the PATRIARCH ABRAHAM gave the TENTH of the spoils. (Heb 7:4 KJV)
- The sons of Levi who receive the Priestly Office have a Commandment according to the LAW to collect a TENTH from the People…though they have also descended from Abraham. (Heb 7:5 HCSB)
- But ONE WITHOUT THIS LINEAGE collected TITHES from Abraham and blessed the one who had the Promises. The inferior is blessed by the SUPERIOR. (Heb 7:6-7 HCSB)
- None of this happened WITHOUT AN OATH. For others became PRIESTS WITHOUT AN OATH, (Heb 7:20 HCSB)
- but HE WITH AN OATH made by The ONE who said to Him: The Lord has sworn, and HE WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, You are A PRIEST FOREVER. (Heb 7:21 HCSB)
There must be a change in the Tribe from which the Priesthood comes. Before, it was the Tribe of Levi; but CHRIST came out of Judah, of which Tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning the Priesthood (Hebrews 7:14). This change of the Tribe from where the Priesthood comes shows a real change of the LAW of the Priesthood.
Then, there is that change in the succession and order of making the Priests. Before, in the Levitical Priesthood, the Priests were made after the LAW of a temporary and carnal Commandment. The former LAW requires that the Priestly Office should descend to the Eldest Son, upon the death of the Father. This is because none of the High Priests under this Law were without Father or Mother, or without descent. They have no Eternal Life in themselves. They had both Beginning of Days and End of Life. The continuing Death of the High Priests became a weakness of the Levitical Priesthood (Hebrews 7:18).
- For there is verily A DISANNULLING OF THE COMMANDMENT going before For the WEAKNESS and UNPROFITABLENESS thereof. (Heb 7:18 KJV)
For the weakness and unprofitableness thereof - That is, it was not adapted to save man; it had not power to accomplish what was necessary to be done in human salvation. It answered the end for which it was designed - that of introducing a more perfect plan, and then vanished as a matter of course. It did not expiate guilt; it did not give peace to the conscience; it did not produce perfection Heb_7:11, and therefore it gave place to a better system. -- BARNES
- For the LAW made nothing Perfect, but the bringing in of a Better Hope did, by which we draw near to God. (Heb 7:19 MKJV)
- For the PRIESTHOOD BEING CHANGED, there is OF NECESSITY A CHANGE MADE ALSO IN THE TORAH (Law). (Heb 7:12 HNV)
- IF PERFECTION were by the LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD (for under it the people received the Law), WHAT FURTHER NEED WAS THERE THAT ANOTHER PRIEST should rise after the order of MELCHIZEDEK, and not be called after the order of Aaron? (Heb 7:11 MKJV)
- For it is evident that OUR LORD SPRANG OUT OF JUDAH, of which tribe Moses spoke NOTHING CONCERNING PRIESTHOOD. (Heb 7:14 MKJV)
- And it is still far more evident, since there ARISES ANOTHER PRIEST AFTER THE LIKENESS OF MELCHIZEDEK, who is made, NOT ACCORDING to the LAW OF A FLESHLY COMMANDMENT, but according to the POWER of an ENDLESS LIFE. (Heb 7:15-16 MKJV)
- For He testifies, "You are a PRIEST FOREVER after the order of MELCHIZEDEK." (Heb 7:17 MKJV)
- So JESUS has also become THE GUARANTEE OF A BETTER COVENANT. (Heb 7:22 HCSB)
