[1] {foreordained}
The divine order is foreknowledge, election, predestination. That
foreknowledge determines the election or choice is clear from
# 1Pe 1:2
and predestination is the bringing to pass of the election. "election
looks back to foreknowledge; predestination forward to the destiny."
But Scripture nowhere declares what it is in the divine foreknowledge
which determines the divine election and predestination. The foreknown
are elected, and the elect are predestinated, and this election is
certain to every believer by the mere fact that he believes
# 1Th 1:4,5
See \\Predestination\\

[2] {stone of stumbling}
Christ crucified is the Rock: (1) \\Smitten\\ that the Spirit of life
may flow from Him to all who will drink
# Ex 17:6 1Co 10:4 Joh 4:13,14 7:37-39
(2) To the \\church\\ the foundation and chief corner Stone
# Eph 2:20
(3) To the \\Jews\\ at His first coming a "stumbling stone"
# Ro 9:32,33 1Co 1:23
(4) to \\Israel\\ at His second coming the "headstone of the corner"
# Zec 4:7
(5) To the \\Gentile world-power\\ the smiting "stone cut out without hands"
# Da 2:34
(6) In the divine purpose the Stone which, after the
destruction of Gentile world-power, is to grow and fill the earth.
(7) To \\unbelievers\\ the crushing Stone of judgment.
# Mt 21:44

[1] {priesthood}
The New Testament priesthood, Summary: (1) Until the law was given
the head of each family was the family priest
# Ge 8:20 26:25 31:54
(2) When the law was proposed, the promise to perfect obedience was
that Israel would be unto God "a kingdom of priests"
# Ex 19:6
but Israel violated the law, and God shut up the priestly office to the
Aaronic family, appointing the tribe of Levi to minister to them,
thus constituting the typical priesthood
# Ex 28:1
(3) In the dispensation of grace, all believers are unconditionally
constituted a "kingdom of priests"
# 1Pe 2:9 Re 1:6
the distinction which Israel failed to achieve by works. The
priesthood of the believer is, therefore, a birthright; just as every
descendant of Aaron was born to the priesthood
# Heb 5:1
(4) The chief privilege of a priest is access to God. Under law the
high priest only could enter "the holiest of all," and that but once
a year
# Heb 9:7
but when Christ died, the veil, type of Christ's human body
# Heb 10:20
was rent, so that now the believer-priests, equally with Christ the
High Priest, have access to God in the holiest
# Heb 10:19-22
The high Priest is corporeally there
# Heb 4:14-16 9:24 10:19-22
(5) In the exercise of his office the New Testament believer-priest is
(1) a \\sacrificer\\ who offers a threefold sacrifice: (a) his own
living body.
# Ro 12:1 Php 2:17 2Ti 4:6 1Jo 3:16 Jas 1:27
(b) praise to God, "the fruit of the lips that make mention of His
name" (R.V.), to be offered "continually"
# Heb 13:15 Ex 25:22
"I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat"); (c) his
substance
# Heb 13:16 Ro 12:13 Ga 6:6 3Jo 1:5-8 Heb 13:2 Ga 6:10 Tit 3:14
(2) The N.T. priest is also an \\intercessor\\
# 1Ti 2:1 Col 4:12
