As Creator, Jesus Christ is the King of all creation. As Redeemer, Jesus Christ is King over all those who have been redeemed by his blood. As perfect descendant of Abraham and David, Jesus Christ is the physical King of Israel.

Different priesthoods in the Bible include the Levitical priesthood, Melchisedec, and priesthoods of idolatrous gods.

It also requires that we read and understand that manual in proper way and constantly refer to it to instruct, reprove and correct us. This is…
