Does Jesus have to be a King in order to be a valid Priest and Sacrifice?
Since Jesus is not to be a priest in the levitical order, He need not be from the tribe of Levi
In the sacrifice of the New and Eternal covenant, Jesus does not merely perfect the priesthood, but bestows it upon us.
Yes, it is through the death of Christ we are made clean, our sin atoned for. This is priestly imagery.
He has a sacrifice, as every priesthood must have; but His Victim is of singular and outstanding value; Christ is the true King of Justice. Therefore, Jesus is a superior High Priest because Melchizedek’s order is permanent. The doctrine of the priesthood of all believers states that all believers in Christ share in his priestly status, eliminating any special classes. He will be a priest-king like Melchizedek, ruling in Jerusalem. Jesus saw himself as David’s lord and priest-king.

Troy Day – I seriously doubt that “all believers in Christ share in His priestly status.” He is the “great high priest.” He “ever lives to make intercession.” He is able to “save them to the uttermost.” Believers are certainly “priests unto God” but they do not share equal statues with the great high priest.

MANY People I have loved greatly in our area and prayed hours for have completely abandoned the idea of being part of God’s great army at the War Room. For whatever reason which matters not to me but to the Lord. They left and never returned to the fellowship in which they said the Lord had sent them. Personal opinions drive most people and not the Holy Ghost. It’s sad knowing the work they were to do from here will suffer or not even be done. They should come and finish the courses God gave them faithfully and see God bless them. If not, their blessings could be delayed or stopped. The gift and call of God is without repentance.

Troy Day it sounds like the post mils will go to any length to support their conclusions. The 19th chapter of Revelation says Christ will come to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s. This will not violate his eternal unchangeable priesthood. Jesus is the author of all priesthood.
Anonymous
If you ever take the time to trace out the ages of those in Jesus’ lineage in Genesis, you will discover that Shem and Abraham were alive at the same time and that Shem fits the description of Melchizedek! But very few are the Bible scholars that have searcherd this out.

Michael Chauncey I have never heard of POSTMIL who does not believe in physical kingdom on earth like Augustine did with Byzantium Central concepts of Postmillennialism is that The kingdom will not arrive instantaneously but develops progressively. In their view, Christ will return only after the kingdom has come in its fullness. The “arrival” of the kingdom, therefore, is gradual by degrees BUT there is still “arrival” on earth and re-establishing the DAVIDIC covenant and restoration of ISRAEL right? Kyle Williams

Michael Chauncey
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair
Key text on this spread of the gospel advancement of the kingdom leading up to the
second coming is B. B. Warfield’s interpretation of Revelation 19:
“The section opens with a vision of the victory of the Word of God, the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords over all His enemies. We see Him come forth from heaven girt for
war, followed by the armies of heaven. . . . The thing symbolized is obviously the
complete victory of the Son of God over all the hosts of wickedness. . . . The
conquest is wrought by the spoken word—in short, by the preaching of the
gospel. . . . What we have here, in effect, is a picture of the whole period between
the first and second advents, seen from the point of view of heaven. It is the period
of advancing victory of the Son of God over the world. . . . As emphatically as Paul,
John teaches that the earthly history of the Church is not a history merely of conflict
with evil, but of conquest over evil: and even more richly than Paul, John teaches
that this conquest will be decisive and complete. The whole meaning of the vision of
Revelation 19:11-21 is that Jesus Christ comes forth not to war merely but to
victory; and every detail of the picture is laid in with a view precisely to emphasizing
the thoroughness of this victory. The Gospel of Christ is, John being witness,
completely to conquer the world. . . . A progressively advancing conquest of the
earth by Christ’s gospel implies a coming age deserving at least the relative name of
‘golden,’”
Anonymous
Troy Day they seem to be looking at the Second Coming as a second incarnation, the original incarnation for the purpose of being the Lamb of God, as if the Second Coming would reverse that. But the risen Jesus was already a new creation when he ascended to Heaven.
True, that many do look for Jesus in his Second Coming as if he weren’t someone with a spiritual body, as say an ordinary king living on earth. In fact, we live in him as part of his body. Now, he fills the Heavens as the case since his ascension. When we see him, he will fill the sky. He will be like the sun. The current sun will be darken and the stars will fall from the sky. There will be a new Heaven and New Earth.

Kenneth Hose I think I have heard this.
Anonymous
Kenneth Hose sure and NOAH berried children and grand children and great grandchildren as result of the the flood, but Christ NOT returning?
Anonymous
Kenneth Hose Are Melchizedek and Shem the same person?
This question is frequently asked and has caught the interest of many scholars. Let us examine first these two names and then the arguments for and against the two being the same person.
Melchizedek means “King of righteousness” (Heb. 7:1-2). He was known as the great high priest, priest of the most high God (Gen. 14:18) ordained as priest after the order of the Son of God (Heb 7:3). He’s also known as Abram/ Abraham’s ecclesiastical leader (Gen. 14:19) (Gen. 14:20) (Heb. 7:4) and King of Salem (Gen. 14:18.)
Abraham and Melchizedek
Shem is the Son of Noah (Gen. 5:32), the progenitor of Abraham. (1 Chronicles 1:24-27.) It was assumed that he held the keys to the priesthood and was the great high priest of his day where he stands next to Noah during this time when patriarchs passed on the priesthood in the family.
Shem and Melchizedek are two different people:
An account of Identity: Shem was born in 2448 B.C. and lived for 602 years. He was 100 years old at the time of the great flood. Abraham was born in 1948 B.C., and was 140 years old when Shem died. But the coincidence in Shem and Melchizedek living at the same time only makes their identity a possibility, not a reality.
Genealogy: We know Shem’s line and descendants. Abraham’s father was Terah, who was in the line of Shem. We do not know Melchizedek’s genealogy.
Melchizedek in the Bible: Genesis 14:18-20
The Bible doesn’t tell us much about Melchizedek beyond that he was a priest of God, and that his line of priesthood is an important one. Some Christians see Melchizedek as an early foreshadowing of Jesus himself.
Anonymous
That argument is ludicrous. Jesus’ Priesthood, Prophethood, and Kingship are structurally united in his Messiahship and are and will have been eternal even after his Return. His Return will consummate New Creation and complete a radical redemptive transformation of creation as a whole in such a way that will affect how priesthood and prophethood function (Paul suggests prophecy will cease at the Parousia, and what would priestly ministry look like in a world freed from sin and death?). But such questions aside, whoever asserted that is treating Christ like a created thing who suffers functional limitations, and not God – the Incarnate, resurrected Son.
Anonymous
I am not “hard set” that Shem WAS Melchizedek. I am just saying he could have been. I plotted the genealogies from Adam thru Joseph on graph paper taped together (five feet long) years ago. Abraham died 33 years before Shem died. We will all find out “who was who” when we are in our immortal bodies.

Philip Williams Millennialism flourished again among various sects during the English Civil War (1638–49) and
the succeeding dictatorship of Oliver Cromwell, notably among the Fifth Monarchy Men. But
earlier in the century, two Puritan writers, Thomas Brightman and Joseph Mede, both
Cambridge scholars, initiated (respectively) postmillennialism and premillennialism.
Postmillennialism was the view that Christ would return after (Lat. post) the millennium. That
implied that the gospel would spread and the world become increasingly peaceful before the
second advent. Premillennialism was the view that Christ would return before (Lat. pre) the
millennium. That implied that conditions on earth would become progressively worse until
Christ defeated evil at the second advent. In the eighteenth century, the leaders of the
Evangelical Revival, such as Jonathan *Edwards, leant towards postmillennialism, although
John *Wesley appears to have held the more complex view of the great pietist scholar of Halle,
Johann Albrecht Bengel (1687–1752), that there would be two millennia, one before and one
after the second advent. The evangelical movement for ‘foreign missions’ led by William Carey,
Thomas Chalmers, John Venn and many others was accordingly predominantly
postmillennialist. The spread of the gospel would usher in the universal reign of Christ. This
vision continued to inspire the American revivalist, Charles Finney, and the Scottish missionary,
David Livingstone in the mid-nineteenth century. The missionary societies therefore engaged in
medical and educational work to improve society, Livingstone advocating an alliance of
Christianity, commerce and civilization to counter the Arab slave trade in East Africa. But from
the 1820s a more pessimistic premillennialism began to stir
Anonymous
Troy Day fairly good summary. The pessimism comes from shifting the AntiChrist (then seen as the Pope) from the past to the future, tossing America and the Church under the bus so as to worship a future Israel that isn’t the Church but composed of those who reckon Jesus to be a pretender and deceiver. Essentially replacing Christians with antiChristians. Go figure.

Troy Day and now we have kingdom now to were we will just evolve into the coming of Christ and there will be no rapture.
I my self am a Pan-Millennialist..
Jesus is able to take care of me no matter how it Pans Out. Pre, post or mid..He has a plan and my trust is in Him.
But if you go with the Hebrew Marriage Ceremo y I’d say it was diffently Pre with the lay out of the Song of Solomon and John chapt 14 being a ceremonial part of the Hebrew wedding traditions of that day.

Philip Williams what about Jesus never returning on earth? pre-mil exists heavily in the early church before Augustine – it is Augustine with Byzantium kingdom-now who shifts the catholic church to post-mil which Kyle Williams also supports as “reformed” BUT this still does not answer the question of Christ never returning on earth as invalidating his sacrifice

Troy Day Don’t conflate premil with the rapture. None of the fathers believed that Christians would be taken away to Heaven and replaced as God’s witnesses in the earth by unbelieving Jews. Not a single one of them. Nor did anyone else before John Nelson Darby. All of these as did our Americans fathers believed that the Church was God’s Israel. The rapture is evidence of a great apostasy, teaching Christians to despise the Church bought by the blood of Jesus.
As to this nonsense about Jesus’s blood not availing when he returns to the earth, that’s just more confusion. But no one will be able to repent on the day of his return as he is Coming to punish those who don’t believe, casting them into outer darkness where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Zechariah 12 pertains to Jesus’s death.

Kyle Williams well I do not disagree with that of course Junior Beasley however the postmil speaker repeatedly stated IF JESUS touches earth he is NO priest anymore and our sins will come back upon us – quote unquote
I am YET unable to place this in a reference The ONLY postmil thing I have found CLOSE to it is here
When our Brother G.C. Brewer published his book of essays titled Contending for the Faith (1941), he provided biblical argumentation against many false doctrines that were popular in his day. Some of those false teachings are still prominent today, including “premillennialism,” or the doctrine that Christ is going to return to Earth to establish a kingdom in Jerusalem for 1,000 years. According to this doctrine, the righteous dead will be raised to serve in Christ’s earthly kingdom for a thousand years, and then the last judgment will occur.
The Bible teaches that “when Christ comes he will judge both the living and the dead and that following this judgment both the righteous and the wicked will enter into their eternal state—the righteous into life eternal (to be forever with the Lord—not to enter upon an associate reign to be brought to an end in a thousand years) and the wicked into eternal punishment” (195, parenthetical item in orig.).
Supporting passages: Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; 2 Timothy 4:1-2; John 5:28-29.
The Bible teaches that “when Christ comes the heavens will pass away with a great noise and that the earth shall be burned up with all the works that are therein; that the earth wherein sin dwells will exist no more. Whereas premillennialism preaches that when Christ comes he will take up his abode on this mundane sphere, become an earth dweller, and rule over suffering, sinning, dying men and women for a thousand years!” (196).
Supporting passage: 2 Peter 3:2-14.

Oscar Valdez Darby was more successful in propagating his views in the USA.
Dispensationalism became widely known through the annual Niagara Bible Conferences from
1883 to 1900 and was taught in the notes of the widely influential Scofield Bible (1909).
Postmillennialism continued to influence the wider evangelical movement, although the
watchword of the Student Volunteer Movement (founded 1886), ‘The evangelization of the
world in this generation’, was interpreted both ways.

The NT seems to anticipate that the number of those saved when Christ returns will not be
as great as the Postmillennialism suggests, and that conditions will be decidedly bad, not
good. See Mt. 7:13-14; Lk. 18:8; 2 Thess. 2:3-4; 2 Tim. 3:1-5,12-13; 4:3-4. In the parable of the
Tares in Mt. 13:36-43. Postmillennialism interpretation of Rev. 19-20 seems forced and artificial. For example Gary North thinks that essential to any idea of Christians “reigning” in history is
“Christians’ possession of the judicial authority to impose negative civil sanctions or the private
economic power to impose both positive and negative cultural sanctions [in particular, those
given in Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28]” Such conflating of the political and the religious is not just a bad idea but a dangerous one. Postmillennialism minimizes one of the primary experiences that will characterize the church
and all Christians throughout this present age: suffering with Christ. Postmillennialism undermines the NT emphasis on the church’s imminent expectation of
Christ’s return. It undermines the element of watchfulness that is essential to the NT church.
See 1 Cor. 16:22; Rom. 13:11-12; Phil. 4:5; Js. 5:8; 1 Pt. 4:7; 1 Jn. 2:18; Rev. 1:3; 22:20.

Jesus is prophet, preist, and king. In his first Advent, he prophesied his own death, resurrection, ascension and second coming. He fulfilled his role as priest by offering himself, he continues to fulfill the role of high priest as our intercessor and advocate. He is king of all creation.
