Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 6

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 6:20
  
  a forerunner: Jesus was the first man on earth to ascend to Jehovah’s presence in heaven. (Joh 3:13; 1Co 15:20; Heb 9:24) Thus, he became “a forerunner,” or “one who goes in advance of others.” By presenting his ransom sacrifice in heaven, he opened and prepared the way for those who would be invited to rule with him in the Kingdom.—Joh 14:2, 3; Heb 10:19, 20.
  
  in the manner of Melchizedek forever: See study note on Heb 5:6.
