Jesus is the Messiah of Israel
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34049080 Jesus is the heavenly messiah both King and High Priest melchelzedek order priesthood. The millennial kingdom is davidic kingship and levitic priesthood which is an earthly kingdom where the kingship and priesthood are separate offices. When we understand that the earthly kingdom is less than the heavenly kingdom and the two offices of kingship and priesthood have to be divided then we know the two anointed will rule on earth and Jesus will rule from heaven
As Jesus himself stated his kingdom is not of this earth and he also stated his kingdom has no end and we know the davidic kingdom comes to an end after the 1000 years and season Satan is loosed...so the two anointed will rule the earth..one in charge of the kingship and the other in charge of the priesthood and Jesus will rule from heaven so people in the millennium will still have to have faith in Jesus for salvation....pretty hard to have faith if Jesus is walking around beside everyone during the millennium.
Furthermore Hebrews 8 tells us if there is a levitic priesthood on earth which Ezekiel and Jeremiah tell us there is then Jesus could not be high priest on earth...nor would he want to lower his Melchelzedek order priesthood which makes him both King and High Priest ruling in the heavenly realm where that is permitted
Hebrews 8
8 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
