The Prophet, the Priest, and the King

Who knows the Father and pleads on our behalf?  Who will enter the throne room of the Most High and make our request?

He is Christ Jesus, the Son of God, the Prophet and the Priest who is at the right hand of God the Father making intercession for His people.

The High Priest at the altar who gave His blood for the atonement for our sins will go in for us, into the Holy of Holies , a place before no man was even worthy to enter.

He stands as One who alone is worthy to communicate with the Father and to plead our case.

And since He is known by his people, He is the One who alone is appointed to represent His people.

How is this possible?

His story was told for ages ago, that a Prophet will indeed come out from among his brethren ( Deut18:15).

As He was set out as the Voice of God to His brethren, a Prophet and a Priest, to deliver mankind from their sins and proclaim the coming of the Lord.

He also came as a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, a King of Salem and a High Priest out of nowhere, with no inheritance from the line of Aaron.

He was a spotless lamb, a perfect sacrifice, prepared before the foundation of the world, a lamb of God, and whose shed blood was the  ultimate atonement for mankind's sins. His blood was presented at the altar in heaven, an altar made without hands.

Now as those who believe in His name, we can come boldly to the throne room of Our Father and make our request for He makes intercession for us who were called out from darkness and transformed into the light.

Praises to our Prophet and our High Priest!

But now the High Priest has disrobed Himself, as His people have been raptured from the world and awaiting the new age.

Now will He will ride out as the Great King for those who remain on earth, to usher in the kingdom of Heaven as He once foretold.
