Brother, happy Sabbath this friday at 12:47 pm as it begins in Israel! The priesthood continues forever with Jesus as our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek: both priest and King. God kept these two separate roles in Israel because He was the king of Israel until the people rejected God as "king" by asking for a human king like all other nations. God allowed it, but it was not God's will for them to have a human king. You hinder your growth by following a human leader instead of dealing directly with God.
But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.” (1 Samuel 8:6-9 NIV)
God is our temple forever.
I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. (Revelation 21:22 NIV)
Symbolic was what Jesus would do with external physical circumcision until the coming of Jesus. Circumcision is no longer under our control, what is under our control is the "forever" "sign" that God makes us "holy". Seen is the circumcision of our hearts externally when you keep the "forever" "sign" that God makes us "holy". The Sabbath is the best indicator under our control of who belongs to God. If you want to shine for God, the true biblical Sabbath is universally recognized. Nothing would displease Satan more than you showing God's "sign".
“Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’” (Exodus 31:13-17 NIV)
As it demonstrated the true work of Jesus in the heavenly temple, it is forever when God is our temple.
I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. (Revelation 21:22 NIV)
United in our hope for the soon return of Jesus, Jorge
