The Kingdom of Priests!

The Kingdom of Priests!

The Kingdom of Priests!

I divided the teachings into 4 sessions.

Session 1, Kingdom.

Session 2, Priest.

Session 3, Unity.

Session 4, Applying.

In this first session of “The Kingdom of Priests”, I will cover the English word kingdom. The word “kingdom” is used 163 times in the New Testament in 154 verses. 4 bible translations use the word βασιλεύς, which means “king”, and that is 100% incorrect; you will see why.

The Greek word ‘βασιλεία’ means kingdom. Why is kingdom correct and not king? Because the phrase ‘king’ doesn’t fit the balance of Scripture. The incorrect translations use the root word. Notice the last 3 letters in each word. The last 3 letters of each are εία and εύς

Look at 2 Corinthians 5:17:

If anyone is in Christ, they are a part of a colonization; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

The Greek word for colonization is ktísis and means something founded of a city, colonization of a habitable place.

Many translations use “creature” or “creation,” but to correctly portray our place in Christ, it is essential to understand that we are no longer of this world and have been transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus said in John 17:16 that we are not of the world, just as He is not of the world.
