Exo 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:
Exo 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.
1Pe 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:
1Pe 2:10
Which in time past
were not a people,
but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
If physical Israel was a Kingdom of Priests and then The Body of CHRIST had a royal priesthood ...why are we assuming the priests of Revelation 20 are in the future?
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy
is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
