A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS

[douge]

Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

This is the first mention of the promised kingdom. It can be seen from Revelation 5:10 that it is an earthly kingdom. It is evident that it can only be an earthly kingdom, as it will be a "holy nation".

19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

The kingdom promise was based upon obeying and keeping the covenant. Israel said they would keep that covenant. It will be found that they could not keep the covenant.

19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

Here is the washing of clothes unto sanctification. Here is the first of the diverse washings for Israel to cleanse their unrighteousness before the Lord.

We have become priests through Jesus Christ! We can all go boldly into the Holy of holies by His blood. Shalom.

Revelation 1:[1] The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
[2] Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
[3] Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
[4] John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
[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.
[7] Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Revelation 1:6 still refers to the remnant of Israel as does Revelation 5:10

I am still at loss at how you keep adding in a word that is not even in the manuscripts. And speaking of manuscripts we/us.. anyway.

Bless you but.. you can keep adding in ISRAEL to some verses ...still will not make it true. Again.. it is very unwise to add anything take away anything with Rev.

OT.. to simple know that Israel was to treat people that wanted to join (so to speak).. to treat them as if they were born of you "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God." He has not changed. I said other places.. there is the vine (Christ) and there are org branches and others are grafted in.  No ONE can tell what is org or what was grafted in. Its ONE BODY! We ARE kings and priests. You can not change any of this.
