Jerry,
Exodus 19:6
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
• Exodus 40:15
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
• Numbers 25:13
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
And finally from the last book of the Bible:
• Revelation 1:6
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
• Revelation 5:10
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
The kings and priest spoken of in Rev. 5:10 is the Melchisidec priesthood of which Jesus is our high priest and we are priestly kings under him.
The Jewish priesthood was done away with completely when Jesus came on the earthly scene. A new priesthood was instituted, the kingdom priesthood which was an everlasting priesthood unlike the Jewish priesthood. Which we are a part of (those that belong to Jesus Christ ).
Blessings, Clyde
