There are three anointing ordained in the Old Testament for the covenant people - The
Prophet, The Priest and The King. In Jesus we have all these three anointing totally
fulfilled in one person. In so doing he made all of us inherit these three anointing by the
following act.
“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the first fruits of those
who have fallen asleep”
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in
heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,”
Rev 1:5 ... To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
Rev 1:6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father-
He loved us
He freed us
He made us Kings
He made us Priests.
1 Pet 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness
into his wonderful light.
The New creation Man is
==Prophet: spirit filled, spirit renewed, spirit controlled.
== Priest: sanctified, soul renewed, God controlled.
== King: Perfected conduct, Perfected body, Jesus controlled.
This is what Jesus made us into. No wonder John bursts out in a volley of praise in the
midst of his descriptions.
John breaks out into praise.
