Our Priesthood
1 Cor 3; 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
What does that mean to you? To be the temple of GOD and have the Holy Spirit live in you?
To operate in the TEMPLE of GOD or for the temple to be in us we MUST BE A PRIEST. ARE YOU A PRIEST? ARE YOU???
1 peter 2: 9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;\\
The Jewish priesthood abruptly ended when the Temple was destroyed in 70AD, but the priesthood had already been transferred to a moveable temple (a living temple-Jesus the Christ)
When John Baptized Jesus in the Jordan River, in 30AD it full filled the
Procedure for transferring the priesthood from a priest to HIS son.
1. Lev 8;6 the son must be washed in water-
John Baptized Jesus in water.
2. Lev 8;12 He must be anointed with oil
The Holy Spirit dove descended on Jesus signifying the ANOINTING
3. The High priest publicly declared that this was His son upon who the anointing was Placed
A voice from Heaven declared that this is MY BELOVED SON
Thus the Priesthood was transferred to Jesus.
INTERESTING FACTS. That occurred after the Baptism of JESUS in 30AD , 40 yrs before the destruction of the Jewish Temple.
1. On the day of Atonement the high priest would reach down into a urn
And pull out two stones (one white and one black)(to chose which goat was for the Lord) when the white one came up in the right hand of the priest it was a sign of good. After the baptism of Jesus it never came up in the right hand again.
2. On the day of Atonement the priest used three scarlet (red) straps on for the horn of the scapegoat and one for the neck of the Goat of the Lord, and the third on fastened to the door of the temple. When one on the door turned white it fulfilled ISA 1; 18. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
This never happened again.
3. In the Holy Place the seven branched candlestick (Menorah) before 30AD the western candle (the closest one to the Holy of Holies) was the first one cleaned and than the rest of the candles were lit from it and it (the western candle) never went out even if the other six did. After 30AD if the other ones went out the western one was the first one to go>
4. At the temple on the altar where animal sacrifices were made after the altar was cleaned it only took two logs to keep the fire going all day but after 30AD more logs had to be added
5. Before 30AD the temple priest were given a piece of Showbread from the temple the size of a pea and they were satisfied.….. After 30AD it was the size of a bean.
These indicated that a change had taken place as far as the temple work and the priest.
Jesus was our high priest while HE walked on the earth but after His death on the cross HE transferred the priesthood to us.
Revelation 1: 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
If we were made priest than wouldn’t we have the authority of the Priest to do the work of the priest. To do the commandments of
Mark 16; 15. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
We don’t personnel need someone to go to the Father in our behalf
Heb 4; 16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
We have that right/authority to come boldly before the Throne of Grace.
Also as priest we have the authority and the power to do the ordnances of the priest in the Church. We can baptize, serve communion, take up tithes, etc.
We can do all but fulfill the positions of the PASTOR, or the five fold ministry because these are special gifts or callings of the Lord.
Why than did a friend of mine, Bob, have to get someone to come into the church where he was the (PASTOR????) to baptize or serve communion? Because these are ordnances, rules, of that church organization. AND he had to obey their rules of conduct.
