Christ`s Holy Priests. (Pillar in God`s Temple. Rev.3: 12)
`He who overcomes, I will make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out no more.` (Rev. 3: 12)
The Temple was Israel`s storehouse of national treasures. This is symbolic of Christ, the true temple in whom are all the treasures of wisdom & knowledge.
`Christ...in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.` (Col.2: 3)
As a `pillar in the temple,` we are part of God`s spiritual house, we are in Christ. We are the `holy priesthood,` that speaks forth the wisdom, knowledge, and counsel of Christ.
`you are..... a Royal Priesthood,....that you may proclaim the praises (virtues, excellencies) of Him who called you...` (1 Peter 2: 9)
Ruling over 3 Realms. (Name of God, Name of the City of God, the New Jerusalem and Christ`s New Name. Rev.3: 12)
