Exodus 19:1-6 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 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.
God’s promise to Israel.
This was their promise, they would be a kingdom of priests, IF….
…if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people:
BUT they didn’t. After the Death, Burial, Resurrection and Heavenly ascension of the Lord Jesus, Peter again reminds them:
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;
Yes, God will still keep HIS promise, and it will be fulfilled when He returns and sets up the 1000 year reign on earth.
