What did God give Israel to prepare them for their priestly role?
To prepare Israel as a kingdom of priests, God placed them under the law, a whole preparation process. He also gave them the temple worship, the priesthood, and the Old Testament, the Word of God, so they could be readied for that priestly calling.
Les explains that out of the mainstream of humanity, God called the one little nation of Israel and made promises that they would become a kingdom of priests. In order to prepare them for that role, He put them under the law. It was a whole preparation process: He gave them the temple worship, the priesthood, and the Old Testament, the Word of God. Meanwhile, the Gentiles were outside the covenant promises, without hope and without God, until Israel could be funneled back into the Gentile nations to bring them to a knowledge of their God.
