Priests (or priests), descendants of Aaron - Exodus 29 v 4-9 + Psalm 133 v 2.
Prophets, spokesperson of God - 1 Kings 19 v 15 & 16.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the perfect leader
The anointing of Jesus Christ - Psalm Hebrews 45 v 1 v 8 + 8 & 9.
He is the Priest (High Priest) - Hebrews 4 v 14-16.

The people of the new covenant
We are anointed by the Holy Spirit when He comes to us (born again). We no longer use oil as in the OT because it is God himself who anointed us with His Spirit - 2 Corinthians 1 v 21 & 22 + 1 John 2 v 20.
This makes us:
priests in the service of God - 1 v Apocalypse 6.
Spokesmen for God (the meaning of the word prophet in Greek) - 1 Peter 2 v 9 & 10 + Apocalypse 19 v 10.
Called to reign during the millennium - Apocalypse 20 v 6, and the new creation, because the Lord wants us to participate in his reign - Apo 22 v 5 + 2 Timothy 2 v 11 & 12.
The devil can not create, but he can imitate what God does:
There are false Christ - Matthew 24 v 5, and the Anti-Christ - Apocalypse 13 (see review on this subject).
What a great privilege to belong to the people of God!
