Bible Study Evangelista - “How”: The Resurrection of the Dead Stick

Notes and References The institutional priesthood: “The priest’s office shall be theirs by perpetual statute. Thus you shall ordain them” (Ex. 29:9). The lay priesthood: Ex 19:3-6, 3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel… 6 …you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” 1 Peter 2:5-9, And like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Numbers 16:1-11, the people rebel against the institutional priesthood, but they are actually rebelling against God Himself: “Therefore it is against the Lord that you and all your company have gathered together” (vs 11). Romans 13:1-2, 1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. Hebrews 3:1-6, Jesus is the new Moses, our new, eternal apostle and High Priest. Where there is a High Priest, there must be other priests. Acts 1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his dwelling place become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it’; and ‘His office let another take.’” The institutional apostleship/priesthood is and office, just as the Old Testament commanded. Hebrews 13:17, Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account.

(Isaiah 11:1), and A On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, the Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious. (Isaiah 11:10). Remember also that Jesse was the father of King David, and Micah had prophesied that the Messiah would be of the house and lineage of David and be born in Davids city, Bethlehem (Micah 5:1).

May not the darkness hide it from my face?  You cannot miss that inn. . Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?  Those who have gone before. Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?  They will not keep you standing at that door. . Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?  Of labour you shall find the sum.
