The Bible Project

Did you know that Israel’s tabernacle was designed as a symbolic garden of Eden? And did you know that Adam and Eve were proto-priests who lived and worked in the sacred space? Explore God’s plan for humanity to serve as royal priests over all creation.

Melchizedek is a curious biblical character, first introduced in the story of Abraham. See how he sets our expectations for the coming royal priest.

In this video, we explore the beginnings of Israel’s failed priesthood and the need for a royal priest who will offer his life for his people.

In this video, we’ll explore David’s rise and fall as Israel’s priestly king, and we’ll see how his story points to the ultimate priestly king, Jesus.

In this video, we’ll explore how Jesus is the ultimate priest king who invites us back into Eden and our role as God’s royal priests.

Followers of Jesus are to live as royal priests, reclaiming the lost calling God gave humanity to represent him and rule the world on his behalf.
