I think he's talking about Hebrews 7 verses 18-22.

Probably so, because I "scrolled up" to see it --- I'll have a look at it again in a bit.

Yes!

The Old Covenant served its purpose till Christ came.

It means that the law has served its purpose. Having been fulfilled, it is no longer in force.
Galatians 3

17What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously
established by God, so as to cancel the promise. 18For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it
no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.
19Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to
whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator. 20A mediator is
unnecessary, however, if there is only one party; but God is one.
21Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that
could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law. 22But the Scripture
pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to
those who believe.
23Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be
revealed. 24So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
