Isaiah, 61:6a

"But ye shall be named (shall be -- Now, they aren't yet, but they will be.) the Priests of the LORD:..." (or of Jehovah.) Priests. All right, where do you first get that? Well, come all the way back with me to Exodus chapter 19.


This is the beauty of Scripture. It all fits! Exodus 19 and just for sake of time lets go all the way back to verse 3. Now remember the setting. Israel has just come out of Egypt. They've come through the Red Sea, and they're gathered at Mount Sinai. Moses has now gone up unto God.


Exodus 19:3-4

"And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, thus shall you tell the children of Israel; (Now, here it comes.) 4. Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, (That is, drowned them in the Red Sea.) and how I bare you (the Nation of Israel) on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself." That is, out here into the Sinai desert.
