“But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.”
Isaiah 61:6 KJV
Isaiah saw Yahweh’s desire for all believers in His Son, that we will be known as Priests of Yahweh, and called the Servants of our God. We will feast on the wealth of nations and revel in their riches. This far surpasses the priestly ministry of the Old Covenant. Under God’s Covenant, the Jewish system only allowed Levites to be priests, but in the New Covenant reality we are all believer-priests. Once we were covered in ashes, but now we are robed as royal priests in Christ’s beauty. In heaven they were all singing this new song of praise to the Lamb: “Because you were slaughtered for us, you are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Your Blood was the price paid to redeem us. You purchased us to bring us to God out of every tribe, language, people group, and nation. You have chosen us to serve our God and formed us into a kingdom of priests who reign on the earth. Glory to God!
