Hebrews 10:21

“And [having an] high priest over the house of God.] The church of God, over which Christ is as prophet, priest, and King, and as the Son and owner of it; (see Gill on “<580306>Hebrews 3:6”); (see Gill on “<580414>Hebrews 4:14”). In the Greek text it is, “a great priest”; so the Messiah is called by the Targum on (<380612>Zechariah 6:12) br ˆhk, “a great priest”, as he is; even a great high priest, as in (<580414>Hebrews 4:14), and greater than Aaron, and any of his sons.”

“high priest--As a different Greek term (archiereus) is used always elsewhere in this Epistle for "high priest," translate as Greek here, "A Great Priest"; one who is at once King and "Priest on His throne" (Zac 6:13); a royal Priest, and a priestly King. house of God--the spiritual house, the Church, made up of believers, whose home is heaven, where Jesus now is (Heb 12:22-23). Thus, by "the house of God," over which Jesus is, heaven is included in meaning, as well as the Church, whose home it is.”

“And having an High Priest over the house of God - Over the spiritual house of God; that is, the church; compare the notes on Hebrews 3:1-6. Under the Jewish dispensation there was a great high priest, and the same is true under the Christian dispensation. This the apostle had shown at length in the previous part of the Epistle. The idea here is, that as under the former dispensation it was regarded as a privilege that the people of God might have access to the mercy-seat by means of the high priest; so it is true in a much higher sense that we may now have access to God through our greater and more glorious High Priest. return to 'Top of Page'”

“10:21 Jesus, as Messiah, is the High Priest and king who rules over God’s house, the people of God (see 3:1-6; 2 Sam 7:13).”
