Revelation 5:9~10 

 

 

 

God’s Kingdom and Priests Purchased with the Blood

 

 

 

Main references: Rv 5:9-10

What kind of kingdom and priests are those which are God’s kingdom and priests purchased with the blood, and what kind of blood is that blood?

The kingdom refers to the sealed 144,000 of the twelve tribes that are harvested at the time when Revelation is fulfilled. The priests refer to the pastors who lead the service or sacrifices offered to God. The blood refers to the blood of Jesus Christ.
As seen in Hebrews 10, offering sacrifices according to the Law of Moses or with the blood of oxen (bulls) and sheep (goats) can never take away sins so God prepared a body, which was Jesus Christ (Heb 10:1-5, Ps 40:6-8). This speaks of taking away sins with the blood of a sinless, righteous man instead of the blood of sheep (goats). The price of sin for that man was death, and only the blood of the righteous Jesus could take away those sins.

When Jesus made the new covenant with his blood and said, “I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes (Lk 22:16-20).” This [fruit of the vine] was his own blood and flesh. And since he said that anyone who eats this blood and flesh has eternal life (Jn 6:51-57), this blood is the blood of the covenant.

This blood takes effect at the time of Revelation. In Revelation 5, Jesus purchases men with his blood to make them into a kingdom and priests, and in Rv 7:14, those who wash their robes with the blood of Jesus and receive forgiveness for their sins become the multitude (people) dressed in white. And in Revelation 12, [the brothers] fight against and overcome the group of the dragon through the blood of Jesus and the word of their testimony. Since it is said that the power and the salvation of God can come by overcoming, there will be no salvation, power, or kingdom of God until [we] overcome through the blood of Jesus.

Regardless of this fact that God has told us, immature believers say, “I received salvation and the Holy Spirit”. So what would God think about those immature believers who are ignorant of this promised Word? God would ask them why they do not believe in the promise. When God tells us to believe, He means to see and believe when the promise is fulfilled (Jn 14:29). To understand and believe the promise that has been fulfilled is to believe the one who made the promise.
