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)
`He who overcomes, .....
I will write on him the name of my God,
and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem,
which comes down out of heaven from my God.
And I will write on him my new name.`
(Rev. 3: 12)
A `Name` is used to give the character and function of a place or person.
The New Name of Christ. This is His New position as King Priest over the New order of King Priests in the third heaven.
The Name of the city of God, the New Jerusalem that comes down out of the third heaven to the Universal area over the earth.
The Name of God is His authority over all His vast kingdom. This includes the new earth peopled by Israel and the nations.
The overcomers are given authority in Christ in all these realms.
Christ`s Kings. (Sit on Christ`s New Throne. Rev.3: 21)
`To him who overcomes,
I will grant to sit with Me on My throne
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father
on His throne.`
(Rev. 3: 21)
These are the overcomers whom Christ has matured and brought to the 3rd heaven where they will rule and reign with Him as King Priests on His throne.
To `sit on the throne,` doesn`t mean inactivity in one place but rather refers to having authority and responsibility from the 3rd heaven.
This is the `high calling` in Christ which Paul encourages us to aim for.
`I press toward the goal of the upward (on top / high) call of God in Christ Jesus.`
(Phil. 3: 14)
