mar 2, 29 - JESUS IDENIFIED AS PROMISED OFFSPRING

Description:

Galatians 3:16 - "Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “and to your descendants,” in the sense of many. Rather, it says, “and to your offspring,” in the sense of one, who is Christ."

29 C.E.
Jehovah identifies Jesus as the promised “offspring” who is the Heir to David’s throne.—Galatians 3:16; Luke 1:31-33; 3:21, 22.

COVENANT FOR A PRIEST IN
THE MANOR OF MELCHIZEDEK
PARTIES: Jehovah and Jesus

PURPOSE: It provides a legal arrangement for Jesus​—the primary part of the woman’s “offspring”—​to be king and priest forever

Christ’s Priesthood Typified. In a notable Messianic prophecy the sworn oath of Jehovah to David’s “Lord” is: “You are a priest to time indefinite according to the manner of Melchizedek!” (Ps 110:1, 4) This inspired psalm gave the Hebrews reason to regard the promised Messiah as the one in whom the office of priest and king would be combined. The apostle Paul, in the letter to the Hebrews, removed any doubt about the identity of the one foretold, speaking of “Jesus, who has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.”​—Heb 6:20; 5:10
