Quote: The Kingdom of God is about Liturgy – all the descriptions of heaven emphasize liturgy. There are hymns being sung, there is the praise of God, standing, sitting, prostrating. There is incense, candles, long robes. There is a scroll or book that is opened, read and appreciated. There is the Lamb on a throne-like altar. It’s all very much like the Mass

What Jewish tribe does Catholic Priesthood descend from

I will use Hebrews 7 as an observation on Liturgy Priesthood; the question then from Hebrews 7 is this : since the Jewish Priesthood consisted of Jews from Levi only, which Jewish tribe does the Catholic Priesthood descend from: Levi, or of Jesus ?, or maybe Judah, for which Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood:

Hebrews 7:11 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? 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Now concerning the Lamb on a throne alter

quote There is the Lamb on a throne-like altar. It’s all very much like the Mass

I will use Hebrews 7 again for an observation on the Lamb on a throne like alter; the question the from Hebrews 10 is this : how many daily sacrifices did God designate for us today?

Hebrews 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 7:24 But this man, because he continueth [for]ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he [Christ Jesus] did once, when he offered up himself. 7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

How many alter sacrifices of Christ?

Hebrews 10 also speaks precisely regarding how many sacrifices of Christ are required for the forgiveness of sins:

Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL [TIME]. 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

It is clear from God's Word in Hebrews

Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL [TIME].

Hebrews10:14 For by one offering he [Jesus Christ] hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

What does the Scriptures say?

What is an honest reply in regards to these perfect Scriptures? Why do we still need a Levitical priesthood in continual daily sacrificed? Why is Christ continually sacrificed WHEN Hebrews said that we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL [TIME].
