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;

Before the foundation of the world, in God’s foresight and foreknowledge, a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation and a peculiar people were created for the sole purpose of His Divine use. Unbeknown to them, a great mystery was about to be unveiled with each new revelation the Father would send. His Order and His Structure are the mandate for this dispensation. His shadow and type have been given as a schoolmaster in the Old Testament and are now being revealed to present day apostles as His foundational plan that has been predestined from the beginning of time.

Our Father carefully laid out, in detail, the sons work in the office of the priesthood as it relates to the perfecting of the saints, the work of the ministry, the edifying of the Body of Christ and redeeming the lost, ignorant and out of the way back to Him. To fail to follow His instructions would not only bring Him to an open shame but will ultimately condemn us (the sons) and the lost to eternal damnation and everlasting fire. Brethren, we do not fully comprehend nor grasp the true level and extent of mercy and grace that our heavenly Father has bestowed upon us, His Sons. We have been given more than enough. In fact, we have been given too much not to follow His instructions and bring order in the house.
