1 | Jesus waited until 30 to minister | Luke 3:23 | following him | 121571 | ||
The reference you gave in Numbers refers to the levites not the actual priest. The priesthood is from the house of Aaron not the house Kohath. Both are from the tribe Levi, but only Aaron and his sons can hold the priesthood. Besides Jesus is not a priest after the order of Aaron but after the order of Melchizedech. There is great deal of difference between the two. See Heb. 5:6, 8-10; and especailly Heb 7:11-28. | ||||||
2 | Jesus waited until 30 to minister | Luke 3:23 | Searcher56 | 121649 | ||
While He wasn't from the tribe of Levi, but Judah (Matt 1:1-16, Luke 3:23-34), the age thirty is when the ministry of the priests began. All priests were Levites ... their service started at 30. He was Came to fulfill the Law and Prophets (Matt 5:17). |

Hi Searcher56, Matthew 5:16, "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 17 Do not think that *I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I/ did not come to abolish, but to fulfill." John 8:14, "...for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where *I come from, or where I/ am going." Hebrews 7:13, NKJ, "For He [compare NASB, the one] of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our *Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another (p)Priest/ [I would interpret Priest/] 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For He testifies:..." It is the Priest who testifies, to my mind. Hebrews 7:17, [My interpretation using capitalization] "For it is witnessed of Him, "Thou art a (Priest) forever according to the order of Melchizedek." The *Star and slash/ are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
