An Anchor of the Soul

Danby House

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

( Hebrews 6:18-20 )

God cannot lie.

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

( Titus 1:2 )

Fled to refuge.

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
( Psalms 143:9 )

Anchor of the soul?

Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
( Ecclesiastes 12:6 )

Melchizedek?

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

( Genesis 14:18 )

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

( Hebrews 7:4 )

If therefore 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 Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

( Hebrews 7:11 )

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

( Hebrews 7:22 )
