The Order of Mechizedek Part 3

Zec. 3:1-10 – Joshua (high priest)

Zec. 4:1-7 - Zerubbabel (governer)

-> There’s context to building God’s house that is rarely talked about but extremely vital.

Ezra 3:1-3 – “And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then [a]Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3 Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening burnt offerings.”

Hag. 1:1-12, 2:6

-> So we see this marriage of the priest and the king building God’s house together.

Zec. 4:8-14

-> The key motivation must be His body and not just acquiring wealth.

Rom. 12:1-21

Rom. 12:8 (NLT) – “ If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.”

1 Cor. 12:12-19

Eph 4:11 – “11 And He Himself (of Himself) gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.”

Paul was a tent maker. Joined Aquila and Priscilla in Corinth to work (Acts 18:1-4)

Luke 8:1-3 – Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and many others provided for Him with their substance.

The brethren from Macedonia and others supported Paul in his ministry (2 Cor. 11:9, Phil. 4:15).

Exe. 44:28 - 28 “It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.” – now we are after the order of Melchizedek (king and priest)

1 Pet. 4:10 – “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”

Rom. 5:8-10 – “Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [a]us kings[b] and priests to our God;
And [c]we shall reign on the earth.”
