God's Unbreakable Oath
Commentators emphasize that God confirms Christ's priesthood with an oath, signifying its absolute certainty and permanence. Unlike the temporary Levitical priesthood, this role is established by a divine promise that God "will not repent of." This provides deep assurance for believers, as our salvation rests on this unchangeable, sworn appointment of Christ as our eternal High Priest.
