The theme of the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek

Malachi, ch.3

1 'Look, I shall send my messenger to clear a way before me. And suddenly the Lord whom you seek will come to his Temple; yes, the angel of the covenant, for whom you long, is on his way, says Yahweh Sabaoth.

2 Who will be able to resist the day of his coming? Who will remain standing when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire, like fullers' alkali.

3 He will take his seat as refiner and purifier; he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they can make the offering to Yahweh with uprightness.

4 The offering of Judah and Jerusalem will then be acceptable to Yahweh as in former days, as in the years of old.

Isaiah, ch. 61

1 The spirit of Lord Yahweh is on me for Yahweh has anointed me. He has sent me to bring the news to the afflicted, to soothe the broken-hearted,

2 to proclaim liberty to captives, release to those in prison, to proclaim a year of favour from Yahweh and a day of vengeance for our God, to comfort all who mourn

3 (to give to Zion's mourners), to give them for ashes a garland, for mourning-dress, the oil of gladness, for despondency, festal attire; and they will be called 'terebinths of saving justice', planted by Yahweh to glorify him.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins, they will raise what has long lain waste, they will restore the ruined cities, all that has lain waste for ages past.

5 Strangers will come forward to feed your flocks, foreigners be your ploughmen and vinedressers;

6 but you will be called 'priests of Yahweh' and be addressed as 'ministers of our God'. You will feed on the wealth of nations, you will supplant them in their glory.

7 To make up for your shame, you will receive double; instead of disgrace, shouts of joy will be their lot; yes, they will have a double portion in their country and everlasting joy will be theirs.

8 For I am Yahweh: I love fair judgement, I hate robbery and wrong-doing, and I shall reward them faithfully and make an everlasting covenant with them.

9 Their race will be famous throughout the nations and their offspring throughout the peoples. All who see them will admit that they are a race whom Yahweh has blessed.

10 I exult for joy in Yahweh, my soul rejoices in my God, for he has clothed me in garments of salvation, he has wrapped me in a cloak of saving justice, like a bridegroom wearing his garland, like a bride adorned in her jewels.

11 For as the earth sends up its shoots and a garden makes seeds sprout, so Lord Yahweh makes saving justice and praise spring up in the sight of all nations.

First book of Ezra, ch. 2

59 The following, who came from Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Cherub, Addan and Immer, could not prove that their families and ancestry were of Israelite origin:

60 the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda: six hundred and fifty-two.

61 And among the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai -- who had married one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, whose name he adopted.

62 These had looked for their entries in the official genealogies but were not to be found there, and were hence disqualified from the priesthood.

63 Consequently, His Excellency forbade them to eat any of the consecrated food until a priest appeared who could consult urim and thummim.


The Proposal


Zechariah, ch.3

1 He then showed me the high priest Joshua, standing before the angel of Yahweh, with Satan standing on his right to accuse him.

2 The angel of Yahweh said to Satan, 'May Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! May Yahweh rebuke you, since he has made Jerusalem his choice. Is not this man a brand snatched from the fire?'

3 Now Joshua was dressed in dirty clothes as he stood before the angel.

4 The latter then spoke as follows to those who were standing before him, 'Take off his dirty clothesand dress him in splendid robes

5 and put a clean turban on his head.' So they put a clean turban on his head and dressed him in clean clothes, while the angel of Yahweh stood byand said, 'You see, I have taken your guilt away.'

6 The angel of Yahweh then made this declaration to Joshua,

7 'Yahweh Sabaoth says this, "If you walk in my ways and keep my ordinances, you shall govern my house, you shall watch over my courts, and I will give you free access among those in attendance here.

8 'So listen, High Priest Joshua, you and the colleagues over whom you preside -- for they are an omen of things to come -- for now I shall bring in my servant the Branch, and I shall remove this country's guilt in a single day.

9 For this is the stone which I have put before Joshua, a stone on which are seven eyes; and I myself shall cut the inscription on it -- Yahweh Sabaoth declares."

10 On that day -- Yahweh Sabaoth declares -- invite each other to come under your vine and your fig tree."

Zechariah, ch.4

1 The angel who was talking to me came back and roused me as though rousing someone who was asleep.

2 And he asked me, 'What do you see?' I replied, 'As I look, there is a lamp-stand entirely of gold with a bowl at the top of it; it holds seven lamps, with seven openings for the lamps on it.

3 By it are two olive trees, one to the right and the other to the left.'

4 I then said to the angel who was talking to me, 'What are those things, my lord?'

5 The angel who was talking to me replied, 'Do you not know what they are?' I said, 'No, my lord.'

6 He then gave me this answer,'These seven are the eyes of Yahweh, which range over the whole world.'

7 'What are you, great mountain? Beside Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! He will bring out the keystone while it is cheered with Hurrah! Hurrah!'

8 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as follows,

9 'The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this Temple; his hands will finish it. (Then you will know that Yahweh Sabaoth has sent me to you.)

10 A day of little things, no doubt, but who would dare despise it? How they will rejoice when they see the chosen stone in the hands of Zerubbabel!'

11 Then I went on to ask him, 'What is the meaning of these two olive trees, to right and left of the lamp-stand?'

12 (And I went on to ask him further, 'What is the meaning of the two olive branches discharging oil through the two golden openings?')

13 He replied, 'Do you not know what they are?' I said, 'No, my lord.'

14 He said, 'These are the two anointed ones in attendance on the Lord of the whole world. This is the word of Yahweh with regard to Zerubbabel, 'Not by might and not by power, but by my spirit' -- says Yahweh Sabaoth.

 

The Testament of Levy, ch.18

18:2 then will God raise up a new Priest, unto whom all the Lord's word shall be opened; and he shall execute true judgment upon earth many days;          

18:3 and his star shall arise in heaven. As a King shall he shed forth the light of knowledge in the open sunshine of the day, and he shall be magnified over all the world,    

18:4 and be received and shine as the sun upon the earth, and drive away all darkness, and there shall be peace upon all the earth.          

18:5 In his days the heavens shall rejoice, the earth shall be glad, the clouds shall be merry, the knowledge of the Lord shall be poured out, upon the earth as the waters of the seas, and the angels of glory that are in the Lord's presence shall rejoice in him.  

18:6 The heavens shall be opened, and out of the temple of glory shall sanctification come upon him with the Father's voice, as from Abraham the father of Isaac,      

18:7 and the glory of the Highest shall be spread out upon him, and the spirit of understanding and sanctification shall rest upon him,          

18:8 whereof he shall give abundantly and mightily to his children in truth for evermore, and there shall none succeed him from generation to generation, world without end.     

18:9 In his priesthood all sin shall come to an end, and the unrighteous shall cease from their naughtiness: but the righteous shall rest in him,         

18:10 and he shall open the gates of paradise, and stay the threatening sword against Adam;               

18:11 and feed the lambs with the fruit of life, and the spirit of holiness shall be in them.        

18:12 He shall bind up Belial, and give his own children power to tread down hurtful spirits;    

18:13 and the Lord shall rejoice in his children, and accept them as his beloved for evermore.               

18:14 Then shall Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be glad, and then shall I and all saints rejoice.
