The Age Of The Priests

Question: Are you ushering in the age of the prophets? Because they tried that and it didn't work.

Answer: 
  1. First, it's not that the age of the prophets didn't work, it was a part of the telling of the story of our relationship with God.
  2. Second, this isn't the age of the prophets, it's the age of the priests:
    • As it is written, "... you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." (Exodus 19:6, NIV)
    • And it is written, "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation ..." (1 Peter2:9, NIV)
    • And it is written, "... has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father ..." (Revelation 1:6, NIV)
    • Even the king will be a priest:
      • As it is written, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." (Psalm 110:4, NIV)
      • Melchizedek means righteous king from the Hebrew words malki (king) and tzedek (righteous).
