Part 1 Lesson 28 – Understand the High Priest – by Oleg Remez, translated by Irina Narivonchik
today's Lesson is a very interesting and important subject for everyone who is in a covenant with Jesus.
Usually, especially if you socialize with new believers—then sometimes, socializing with them I get this idea—that after reading the New Testament, they all think that Jesus... Simply sits at the right hand of the father... for approximately 2000 years now—sits and waits until his body... of believers—will take their place, will take their place after in church, I mean after the rapture and so on, I mean that Jesus simply sits there—and waits. And this idea abounds in Many believers. So, Jesus sits and waits.... There, and they sit, and wait for Jesus—Here. In other words, each party is in a waiting period. Well, I don't know if you have encountered this, but I have—when I repented... some time later, this understanding came to me—that we need to WAIT for him... sit and Wait for him—here on earth. And in This is our waiting—to bring people to repentance, take a waiting stance, and to bring them to waiting... and we sit, waiting for Jesus. Well, this is the position I had at one time—and this position was reinforced by others... but Glory be to God that this was not.. for long.
As I was listening to one material, to another... in me was formulated a clear and perfect understanding that in the bible there are TWO periods of the Ministry of Jesus. Two periods.
The first ministry period of Jesus—we'll call the Earthly ministry of Jesus—this is the Time when Jesus dwelt on Earth, and it is written in the Gospels of the New Testament. The Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This is the Ministry of Jesus by—listen here—by the Covenant of Abraham, and the Law of Moses. Specifically in this period—Jesus came to Fulfill the Law. Specifically in this period of his Ministry—did Jesus open up the Articles of the New Testament... Formulating the foundation, AND laying down the tie for his future, Heavenly Ministry. It's of such a large scale, this earthly ministry, and usually people get this idea that Jesus came simply to save. No...! saving is One of the moments—but Jesus Formulated a Global plan—because his Earthly ministry, OPENED the WAY for the Heavenly ministry. That's why we'll say that the first period, or the first stage of ministry, is the Earthly Ministry of Jesus by the Covenant of Abraham and the Law of Moses.
The second ministry period of Jesus—we'll call the Heavenly Ministry of Jesus—seated on the Right hand of the Father... is written about, and begins in the book of Acts and all the way to the book of Revelation—this is the so-called New Covenant ministry of Jesus in which Jesus fulfills the Promise... Promised BY HIM—in his earthly ministry. In other words, after Jesus was taken up, the ministry of Jesus didn't end—but actually, Just Began—and began to gather Strength. This is very important to understand! I am saying this because some believers think that Jesus is occupied, doing his thing up there, and here—we need to be occupied doing our thing. In actuality, its completely different! Why is this understanding especially common in European christians? Because, believers who are Jews—or who Better understand the traditions and ceremonies of the Hebrew People—they know, that the ministry of a Priest—it doesn't End! Their offices—priest, High Priest—they didn't end, they're continuous, it's just that now, it's all in one face. The face of Jesus.
So the Ministry of a priest, High Priest—it didn't end! Right now all this is in one personality... but for the European train of the thought... this is tied to some other forms.. for Jews, it's understandable that nothing has ended. In other words, after he was taken up, Jesus Did NOT stop ministering. After he was taken up, Now, to those who are on earth—through Jesus—the Lord Jesus—is accessible... accessible—that, which is in the Kingdom of Heaven... and to Jesus, in the Kingdom of Heaven—through those who are here on earth—his followers—is accessible everything that is on earth. You understand this connection? We have access, through Jesus—to everything that is in the Kingdom of Heaven, and Jesus, in the Kingdom of Heaven—through us, has access to Everything that is on Earth. Specifically on the basis of THIS knowledge—Jesus gave us the following words:Matt 18:18 “Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. This verse pertains to the Foundational verses which formulate the connection of the earthly ministry with the heavenly ministry of Jesus. This is why the interaction between heaven and earth—it is now going on, but many believers don't know about this interaction, so they think that they are here, on earth.. and if the heavens react to something—then that's good. No. there is a Direct Connection.
The first thing I would like to Especially Note—that the Earthly ministry of Jesus—it is not separate from his heavenly ministry, as if it were not for what he is doing now in his heavenly ministry—then, everything that he would have done in his earthly one... would have been completely useless. I will repeat this once again: Everything that Jesus does now in his Heavenly ministry—is the PROVIDER of everything that he put in the foundation, ALL THAT he brought into action, ALL that he did on the cross—all of this is the PROVISIONARY ministry. If it were not for his heavenly ministry, then all that he did on earth would have been useless. Simply useless. It wouldn't have had the Proper effect.. and Right Now Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the father, right hand of the Glory of God—effecting ALL that he had Promised, initiated, and fulfilled on Earth. So ANYONE who, right now, is Accepting all that he said on earth—Immediately connects with him in his heavenly ministry. Immediately.
On the other hand, believers tend to think: simply connected. “we connected with God.” Yes you connected with God, but Jesus is the PRIEST of his people, and he represents US before God—and our prayers, when they come to God in the name of JESUS—they come as if they are from Jesus—because HE is our INTERCESSOR. You cannot come between God and Jesus—and HE is our intercessor. Therefore, ALL prayers go through HIM—in his Name, through him. But that's another ministry of Jesus.
The Earthly ministry of Jesus, from birth to when he was taken up—is the FOUNDATION of his Heavenly Ministry. Everything that Jesus TAUGHT, Everything that he Preached About—are the binding ties of earth to heaven. Having done everything necessary on Earth, He went up to FULFILL or REALIZE everything SPOKEN by HIM—on earth. EVERYTHING. This is why you can Boldly take his EVERY PROMISE, in HIS name, hold tightly to this promise—KNOWING that the one who promised IS FAITHFUL. This is very important.
OK—why are we making such an emphasis on this? Because in the realization of your calling—which you have—and NOT knowing of the connection with heaven... it is almost impossible to realize your calling. Why? Because the calling of a person—it is the DAILY tasks from the Lord. Daily. A calling is not simply a TITLE.. for example, if God called a person to be.. a lawyer. God will be giving him assignments every day. Therefore your calling—it is your Daily Task from the Lord which a person needs to get—Every Day. And the are New ones every day! Every day, get your assignment. And if a person does NOT know of the ministry of Jesus, then he just sits there and thinks that he has to wait for some favorable time.. that something will be revealed to him, and perhaps he will begin to do something. NO. the ministry of Jesus—is Daily, so you will need to get your Assignments—Daily. This is Very important.
Therefore, without knowledge of WHAT he does Right Now—HOW he ministers, Right Now—in what SPECIFICALLY does he minister Right Now, to Achieve obedience in the fulfillment of calling is almost impossible. Today's ministry of Jesus—in the realization of calling—is The Foundation... as EACH calling has its own assignments.
The second thing that is very important to note—out of the Ministry of Jesus—is that.. the ministry itself, it is invisible to our eyes, but it is written into the New Testament. Remember, in one of our lessons of spiritual Laws—we noted the following rule: if you can't see something, if you can't feel something, smell it, see it or touch it—it is important for you to know Everything About It.. because Knowledge becomes the EYES of your soul. So, you Don't see the heavenly ministry of Jesus. You don't see Jesus—in Ministry... but You See this written into the covenant, the testament. Therefore, studying his ministry in the covenant, in you is formulated—on the soul level.. on the level of the mind—an Idea, of what he does—Right Now. Why? In much this will help you, in that your prayer life wouldn't look like a monologue... but be what? A Dialogue! He is Alive.. and he is Ministering! So there has to be a Dialogue.. not a monologue.
The second thing; is to be obedient to God's Plan. You need to know what he's doing.
The third thing; is to remain in communication with him, because you know—he talks. I know that for many it's difficult to understand—that he talks, but he talks! He's not silent. “brother Oleg, then why is he silent when I talk with him?” because you are telling him what you want... but ask him, what His Will is.
And the fourth thing is; to be independent of the events happening in this world, It is very important to know what he's doing Now.
And so, for us, as participants of the new covenant, it is very important to know what Jesus is doing Right Now, having been Anointed as the High Priest, Lord, Intercessor, Advocate, Middleman, Provider, and so on and so forth. We of course, will be looking at the High Priest ministry of Jesus, because the High Priest ministry of Jesus—in much has to do with—Prayers, in much with confession by mouth—which is the process of formulation. Therefore today, we will be looking at the High Priest Ministry of Jesus. Specifically the High Priest Ministry.
We'll start withHebrews 2:14-17. You understand yourselves—that the High Priest ministry of Jesus, which we will be talking about right now—the Heavenly ministry of Jesus—in much, it is the FORMULATING... so the relation—that formulates in the prayer room... it is very important for you to admit that These relations co-act with the Heavenly ministry of Jesus. When you enter your prayer room, you basically enter his Office! .. if you will approach it in such a way. You enter his office to receive an assignment. To find out what to do, what to fix, what to bring to where, what to take out—out of where, who to talk to... you are entering into his Office! If you haven't cultivated such an image, then naturally, in leaving the office.. or in leaving your prayer room, you continue to think about “what to do.” OK.
Hebrews 2:14-17.. we begin to formulate the foundation for today's lesson.as the children have partaken of flesh and blood,He HimselfJesus, likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. In other words, Jesus came to free from bondage.Fix this for yourselves.16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He, Jesushad to be made like His brethren, that is, Manthat He might be a merciful and faithfulHigh Priestwhat does it mean, High Priest? We will talk about this.in things pertaining to God, to pay for the sins of the people. In other words, out of this verse that we put in the foundation, it is clearly seen that Jesus—as a High priest—became the mercy for the sins of the people. Consequently he HAD to pour out—or bring his blood into the heavenly Holy of Holies, and put a stamp on the Document of Redemption. This is also an interesting wisdom in itself that is reflected in the letter to Hebrews.
Hebrews 9:11-12 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things that have come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Of course, Apostle Paul, speaking of the tabernacle—he refers to the books of the Old Testament, but Jesus, taking into account that the high priest had to go in Every Year.. then Jesus entered ONCE. If a priest had to go once a year.. into the Holy of Holies, and bring sacrifices for the sins of the people of Israel—then scripture says: that He entered ONCE and for ALL, to bring ONCE—this is also a very important moment.
Later, when Jesus went to heaven, he Sat at the right hand of the Father, and began a Different Ministry—without stopping the ministry of High Priest. This is what we will now talk about.
Let's begin our study of the ministry of Jesus as the High Priest—the High Priest of His people.Hebrews 3:1-2. I will remind you—look at this teaching in a practical way, because your Entire prayer life is tied to the Ministry of Jesus as the High Priest. If your prayers circumvent this ministry, then they are Not prayers, but simply your words—and Nothing more.. because the ministry of Jesus as the High Priest, it is the Ministry which materializes Your Prayers. So be attentive—because the effectiveness of your prayers depend specifically on the understanding of This aspect of the Heavenly ministry of Jesus.
And so,Hebrews 3:1-2 Therefore, holy brethrenpartakers of the heavenly calling, let's recall here, What heavenly calling? Children. THIS is the heavenly calling. The CHILDREN of God.Partakers of the heavenly calling,understandtheApostleandHighPriestof our confession, Christ Jesus, 2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. And so—Apostle Paul uses an interesting word here...Understand... which basically means—focus your attention on this ministry. You Need to receive a revelation of the High Priest ministry of Jesus. You need to receive a revelation, and have a Clear Idea in your mind—of the one—that God Anointed, and Ordained to be the High Priest.
