Sage,

Gary was talking about the Temple & relating it to the Body of Christ, so I wanted to show that we have a different purpose than Israel. I said -

Quote:

`However the Body of Christ is of a different order, KingPriests, where there is no `male or female, `differences. To be given a body like Christ`s, & where there is no marriage (in heaven) shows that it is a new body for a new order of beings.`

And you enquired –

Quote:

`I don`t really understand what you are trying to say.....What do you mean by a new order of beings. I can`t say I have ever heard that expression from a Christian point of view. Thank you.`

A very interesting question, Sage, & one I would loved to expound upon.

`The Body of Christ is of a different order, Kingpriests.`

`Jesus...having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.` (Heb. 6: 20)

`The Lord (God) has sworn & will not change His mind, Thou (Christ) art a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.` (Ps. 110: 4)

`Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the Lord, & He who will bear the honour, & sit & rule on His throne. Thus He will be a priest on His throne, & the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.` (Zech. 6: 13)

The order of Melchizedek is a King Priest – a royal Priest. Previously in Israel there were kings & there were priests but they were separate offices. However Father God is saying that with Christ He is a King & a Priest, (as the type Melchizedek was). It is a different order than the Aaronic Priesthood that was only temporary & added because of transgressions. But Christ`s order of Priesthood (KingPriest) is before the Aaronic Priesthood & not temporary –

`the former priests, on the other hand, existed in greater numbers, because they were prevented by death from continuing, but He, on the other hand, because He abides forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.` (Heb. 23 – 25)

Now Christ being a High Priest shows that there are other priests, (High Priest over other priests) & these would be of the same order – King Priest. And you would know we have been told that –

`He has made us to be kings & Priests to His God & Father...` (Rev. 1: 6)

A new order of beings, King Priests with a body like Christ`s that can go through time & space.

` He must rise from the dead...` (John 20: 9)
`when the doors were shut ....Jesus came & stood in their midst.` (John 20: 19
`He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son.` (Rom. 8: 29)
`When He appears, we shall be like Him,...` (1 John 3: 2)
`For this perishable must put on the imperishable, & this mortal must put on immortality.` (1 Cor. 15: 53)

That is part of your questions Sage. I`ll give time for others to comment if they wish.

Marilyn.
