God required a sin offering to enable people to approach Him. 

Ezekiel 43:19

“You shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,’ says the Lord God.” Ezekiel 43:19

An animal was given to the priests so that they could offer it as a sacrifice for the atonement of sin. The priests were Levites, who always came from the tribe of Levi as the tribe of Levi was specifically designated as the tribe of priests, “The Lord said to Moses, “Bring forward the tribe of Levi…they shall…perform duties for the priests and for the whole community… anyone else who tries to do so shall be put to death.” Numbers 3:5-10 The priests were the only ones considered able to come into the most Holy Place of the manmade temple of God.

Since the coming of Jesus Christ, God made people His temple and Jesus is the only priest over us. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit as Jesus ministers to us within our spirit and soul. If Jesus was on this earth, He would not be a minister within the manmade churches, “For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest…” Hebrews 8:4 “Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood…what further need was there that another priest should rise…? ” Hebrews 7:11

Today, the Levites, known as the Levitical priesthood, represents every minister in every church, synagogue, or any other place of worship. Jesus Christ has replaced each one. There are no ministers able to be head over our spirit and soul, none of them can offer any sacrifice to atone for our sin. Jesus Christ became the sacrificial Lamb of God who gave His life at the altar of the Cross where He poured out His blood to atone for our sin. When Jesus did that, He made it possible for us to come into the presence of God, through Jesus, where our sin is forgiven, and we receive the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is our Priest, the only minister we will ever need.

For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.” Hebrews 7:26-28

The entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say is not a priest nor minister of any type, but wants to rule over us. This is the entity that wants to sit within our body, the temple of God, as if it is God. This entity is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click for a post on the “man of sin”. This entity wants to replace Jesus Christ as our Priest to enable the image of the beast to speak and live through people in every city around the world. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.

….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
