We fight with the Word of God

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was a test of faith, its fruits, worthiness (and the promises to come), obedience, reverential fear of God, knowledge of the Word of God, and identity.

The devil cannot lie in the court of heaven, but he is allowed to make serious arguments. This same devil tempted Jesus concerning His identity because he couldn't believe Jesus was on earth as the Son of Man.

This is the enemy—whom many fear and who looks down on mankind—who was cast down and has been thrown down ever since.

Jesus fought as we were always supposed to fight: with the Word of God.

The enemy cannot wage war on mankind without a solid argument, but many take the bait because they love their desires. Yet, these are things God has already promised us.

Essentially, Adam was going to grow in the knowledge of good and evil.

This is similar to how Esau sold his birthright to his twin brother, Jacob, in exchange for a bowl of stew. Esau didn't want to be a spiritual leader; he just wanted to receive the two shares of the firstborn and Isaac's blessings without the responsibility.

Adam was supposed to be a Spiritual leader

Adam was supposed to become a spiritual leader for all his descendants which would be transferred through birthright that would later include the double portion.

So God appointed those spiritual leaders in two orders: in the order of Melchizedek, and through the Levitical priesthood.

Genesis 14:17-20: After Abraham wins a great battle, he is met by Melchizedek, the king of Salem (considered to be Jerusalem) and "priest of God Most High" (El Elyon). Melchizedek brings out bread and wine and blesses Abraham. In return, Abraham gives him a tenth (a tithe) of all the spoils of war.

Later, after the sin of the Golden Calf, when the firstborns proved unworthy, God took the sanctity of the firstborn and transferred the priestly duties to the Tribe of Levi and the family of Aaron (Numbers 3:11-13, 40-45). This was a pivotal moment that changed the practical application of the Bechor's role.

David was a priest but of the order of Melchizedek and not Aaron, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Yes, King David is considered a priest in the order of Melchizedek, although he was not a priest in the traditional Levitical sense. He performed priestly duties and was associated with the priesthood, particularly during his reign in Jerusalem.

In the order of Melchizedek" refers to a unique and eternal priesthood, distinct from the Levitical priesthood, characterized by righteousness, peace, and direct appointment by God.

So to accomplish God's promise to Israel

Exodus 19:6

6 you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”

Jesus appointed by God to be our High Priest

So Jesus was appointed by God to be our High Priest but also ended the Levitical Priesthood after John the Baptist from the tribe of Levi transferred the priestly duties to the Tribe of Levi and the family of Aaron, symbolized by his beheading.

Jesus became the King of Israel 

On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey, which symbolized humility and peace. This event was celebrated by crowds who waved palm branches and shouted praises, recognizing him as their king, 

Later, Pontius Pilate acknowledged Jesus was the King of Israel 

Pontius Pilate asks Jesus, "Are you the King of the Jews?" during his trial. Jesus responds, "You have said so," indicating Pilate's own words.

Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor of Judaea from 26 to 36 AD, best known for presiding over the trial of Jesus and ordering his crucifixion.

Jesus is Our High Priest and also our King

Exodus 19:6

6 you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’

So to fulfill God's promise 

God's promise to the tribe of Judah includes the prophecy that a ruler would come from Judah's line, specifically stating that "the scepter shall not depart from Judah" (Genesis 49:10). This indicates that kingship and authority would be established through Judah, ultimately leading to the lineage of Jesus, the Messiah..

Today, within the bride of Christ the Church, many are appointed by God to be priests under the leadership of our High Priest Jesus. 

Jesus who is also our King. The King of the Messianic jews and the Christians. 

Hosanna to the 

The King of kings, The Lord of lords. 📯
