This paper discusses Jesus in His prophet, priest, and king ministries. He alone fulfilled all these ministries. The Judah tribe was the kingly tribe while the Levi tribe was the priestly tribe. Jesus was from the tribe of Judah, but was still a priest after the order of Melchisedec. Jesus is king over a kingdom that is eternal, invisible (exists now in Christians), and future (1000 year reign). All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME: Jesus is a prophet, priest, and king. God reveals secrets to His church by the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). They occur in God's timing proving that Jesus is a true Prophet. Jesus intercedes to the Father on our behalf (Romans 8:34 & Hebrews 7:25). He once for all paid the true sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10) for our sins. Jesus is eternally king. He was rejected (1 Samuel 8:7), but He will be king again in the new earth (Revelation 21 & 22).

Zechariah 6:13 "Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." Jesus is a priest from the kingly tribe of Judah.

PURPOSE: What is a prophet and how did Jesus fulfill the ministry? A prophet is a spokesman for another as for God. Other prophet names/titles in the Bible are: Man of God; Servant of the Lord; Messenger of the Lord; & Seer. Jesus was a prophet that is God's (Father) spokesman.

Amos 3:7-8 "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.{8} The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?"

1 Samuel 9:9 "(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for <he that is> now <called> a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)"

John 8:28 "Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am <he>, and <that> I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things."

KEY VERSE: Jesus is a prophet, priest, and king.

Isaiah 9:6-7 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. {7} Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

WHO: God mainly by Bible authors Moses, David, Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul

TO WHOM: Elected Christians

WHAT: Jesus is a prophet, priest, and king.

WHY: Jesus fulfilled priest ministry by mediating to God offering His life for the people.

Hebrews 7:1-3 "For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; (3) Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually." Jesus alone is eternal without beginning or end of life, both king/Priest. Melchisedec has always existed and still performs priesthood tasks.

1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" A High Priest duty was to mediate.

Hebrews 7:25 "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." Jesus intercedes for us to God the Father. The Levitical priesthood is inferior to Melchisedec priesthood.

WAY: Jesus performed the ministries of prophet, priest, and king.

2 Thessalonians 2:9 "<Even him>, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders," Jesus’ miracles showed He was a prophet with power.

Matthew 1:22 "Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, {23} Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Jesus was born of virgin-Mary & is God with us (Luke 1:34-35).

Acts 3:18 "But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled." Jesus suffered & died for us (Isaiah 53).

Deuteronomy 18:21-22 "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? {22} When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that <is> the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, <but> the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." Jesus stated He would rise from the dead.

Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

Matthew 27:63 "Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again."

Luke 24:21-23 "But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. {22} Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; {23} And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive."

Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." Jesus fulfilled this prophecy.

Matthew 21:46 "But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet."

Luke 7:16 "And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people."

WHEREAS: A ruler of man (earthly) or mankind (heavenly). God rules through other people as well as himself. God appoints all rulers.

Daniel 7:13-14 "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. {14} And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

Micah 5:2 "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." Jesus is God of eternal Spirit born in Bethlehem of Judah in the flesh.

Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."

WHERE: Israel

WHEN: All times

WHILE: Jesus rules Israel, then the world, and finally everywhere.

John 1:49 "Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel."

John 12:13 "Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord."

John 18:36-37 "Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. {37} Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice."

WAIT: Jesus will be king over the earth and rule for a 1,000 years before being king over the entire earth.

Ephesians 1:20-22 "Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, {21} Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: {22} And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,"

1 Timothy 6:15 "Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;"

Revelation 11:15 "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."

Revelation 17:14 "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."

Revelation 19:15-16 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. {16} And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

B) HIS LIFE MATCHES HIS POSITION:

John 8:46 "Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?"

C) SIGNS AND WONDERS MAY PROVE HIS POSITION:

Deuteronomy 13:1-3 "If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, {2} And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; {3} Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams...." The other test must be true also.

John 14:11 "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake." Jesus miracles.

D) HIS MESSAGE WAS IN HARMONY WITH PREVIOUS REVELATION:

Acts 3:18 "But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled." Jesus suffered & died for us (Isaiah 53).

E) HISTORY WILL CONFIRM HIS AUTHENTICITY:

Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

Matthew 27:63 "Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again."

F) MORAL QUALITY AND SPIRITUAL ESSENCE OF THE MESSAGE:

Romans 5:21 "That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord." Jesus came to give us eternal life (John 11:25, 14:6).

Titus 2:14 "Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Jesus came to redeem us & change us to his children.

G) INNER WITNESS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT BELIEVER:

Romans 8:16 "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:" Christians know their His.

1 John 4:13 "Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit."Christians have God inside.

III) JESUS FULFILLED PROPHET SCRIPTURES:

Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

Matthew 21:46 "But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet."

John 4:19 "The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet."

John 6:14 "Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world."

IV) SOME OF JESUS' PROPHESIES:

Luke 9:22 "Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day."

Luke 19:41-44 "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, {42} Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. {43} For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, {44} And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."

John 13:11 "For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean."

See my paper: "Jesus Life, Events & Identity" JESUS KEY EVENTS SHOW HIS LIFE & IDENTIFY WHO HE IS. for more information on this subject.

V) PRIEST: A servant of the people before God. He ministers sacrifices to God. He is from the Levi tribe. One priest is chosen to serve as the high priest for one year. He alone goes into the Holy of Holies to offer the sacrifice on the day of atonement. See my paper:" Melchisedec/Melchizedek" for more details.

VI) JESUS IS A PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK:

Genesis 14:18 "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God." Salem=Peace

Psalms 110:4 "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek." Spoke of Jesus.

Hebrews 5:10 "Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec." Hebrews 5:6 also.

1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" A High Priest duty was to mediate.

Hebrews 7:11-13 "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?" {12} For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. {13} For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar." 2 Chronicles': The king tried to sacrifice. God judged this evil. Jesus, of Judah tribe as Melchisedec priest, replaced Aaron priest.

Hebrews 7:14 "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood."

2 Chronicles 26:18-19 "..said unto him,..not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron,..leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests.."

Hebrews 7:15-16 "And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, {16} Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life." Melchisedec priesthood, is not of law, but power approved by God.

Hebrews 7:17-20 "For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. {18} For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. {19} For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. {20} And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:" Levitical priesthood annulled due to weakness and sin. Jesus priesthood is a better hope. God made oath for his priesthood.

Hebrews 7:21 "(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)" As quoted from Psalms 110:4, Jesus was a priest long before the nation of Israel and the Levitical system began.

Hebrews 7:22-24 "By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. {23} And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: {24} But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood." Priests die. Jesus priesthood continues forever & is unchangeable.

Hebrews 7:25 "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."

Hebrews 7:26 "For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;" Not like Levitical priest who as sinners offered daily sacrifices that resulted in only temporary forgiveness. Jesus, sacrificed himself once, for a permanent forgiveness. Now he can plead for us from a position of authority in the highest heaven.

Hebrews 7:27-28 "Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. {28} For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore."

See my paper: "Melchisedec/Melchizedek" JESUS IS THE OLD TESTAMENT MELCHISEDEC PRIEST & KING for more information on this subject.

VII) JESUS FULFILLED PRIEST SCRIPTURES:

Hebrews 2:17 "Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people."

Hebrews 4:14-15 "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

Hebrews 5:4-6 "And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. {5} So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. {6} As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."

Hebrews 6:20 "Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."

Hebrews 8:1-2 "Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; {2} A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."

Hebrews 9:12-14 "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. {13} For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: {14} How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"

Hebrews 9:26 "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."

VIII) KING: A ruler of man (earthly) or mankind (heavenly). God rules through other people as well as himself. God appoints all rulers.

A) GOD AS KING IN OLD TESTAMENT:

See my paper: "Kingdom of God & Heaven" JESUS CAME TO ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM. WHAT IS HIS KINGDOM? HOW CAN IT BE ENTERED? for more information on this subject.

2 Chronicles 20:6 "And said, O LORD God of our fathers, <art> not thou God in heaven? and rulest <not> thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand <is there not> power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?"

Daniel 4:25 "That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will." Nebuchadnezzar experience from God.

Daniel 4:35 "And all the inhabitants of the earth <are> reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and <among> the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?"

B) JESUS FULFILLED OLD TESTAMENT KINGLY SCRIPTURES:

Genesis 49:10 "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." Shiloh = Messiah.

Psalms 24:7-10 "Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. {8} Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. {9} Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. {10} Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah."

Psalms 45:6 "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre."

Psalms 89:27 "Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth."

Psalms 110:1-2 "A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. {2} The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies."

See my paper: "Jesus Two Comings As King" GOD IS EARTH'S KING & JESUS IS ISRAEL'S KING IN HIS TWO COMINGS for more information on this subject.

C) JESUS AS KING IN NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES:

Matthew 2:2 "Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."

Matthew 2:6 "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel."

Matthew 21:5 "Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass."

Matthew 25:31 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"

Matthew 27:11 "And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest."

John 1:49 "Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel."

John 12:13 "Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord."

John 19:19 "And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS."

D) JESUS FUTURE KINGSHIP SCRIPTURES:

1 Timothy 6:15 "Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;"

E) JESUS IS GIVING THE KEYS OF POWER SHOWN THAT HE IS KING:

Isaiah 22:22 "And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open."

Matthew 28:18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

Revelation 3:7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;"Jesus is way, truth & life: John 14:6

See my paper: "Just Who Is God" GOD CAN NOT BE DIVIDED. GOD IS A QUALITATIVE ONE TRIUNITY NOT THREE SEPARATE PERSONS. for more information on this subject.

IX) JESUS IS PROPHET, PRIEST, AND KING:

He reveals secrets to His church by the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). They occur in God's timing proving His that He is a true Prophet.

Jesus intercedes to the Father on our behalf (Romans 8:34 & Hebrews 7:25). He once for all paid the true sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10) for our sins. Jesus is eternally king. He was rejected (1 Samuel 8:7), but He will be king again in the new earth (Revelation 21 & 22).
