David’s Vision of the Eternal Priest-King (Psalm 110)

A throne beyond Judah and Levi

Fulfillment in the Lamb of Revelation 5

🌈 INTRO

From the songs of David, to the visions of Zechariah, to the scrolls of John, the Spirit has been weaving a golden thread through the ages. That thread is the revelation of Melchizedek — a mystery so radical that it shattered the boundaries of Israel’s old order.

David dared to see it: a throne where kingship and priesthood merge into one eternal order (Psalm 110). Zechariah confirmed it: the Branch who would bear the glory, rule from the throne, and serve as priest upon it (Zechariah 6). And John beheld its fullness: the Lamb enthroned in heaven, multiplying His order into a company of sons made kings and priests to reign on the earth (Revelation 5).

This is not the divided ministry of Babylon — where priests are locked in temples and kings bound in politics. This is the Melchizedek revelation: a new creation company who minister upward before God and reign outward in the earth. The Lamb has not only entered this order — He has extended it to His sons.

The question is no longer who will stand in this order? The question is: are you ready to walk as part of the Melchizedek Company — the generation of priest-kings who carry the counsel of peace, rule from Zion, and manifest the reign of the Lamb across the nations?

📖 Chapter One: The Order of Melchizedek

The Spirit has hidden mysteries in plain sight, waiting for the sons to awaken and claim them. Among the greatest of these is the revelation of Melchizedek — a priesthood and kingship woven into one eternal order.

When the Scriptures first introduce us to Melchizedek in Genesis 14, it is as if he steps out of eternity itself: “Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God” (Gen. 14:18). No genealogy, no beginning of days, no end of life. He is both king and priest, blessing Abraham and receiving from him the tithe. This was not the order of Levi, for Levi was yet unborn. This was not the throne of Judah, for the scepter had not yet been revealed. This was something higher, something eternal — a glimpse of Christ’s own ministry in shadow.

The law would later divide what Melchizedek united. Priests could only come from the sons of Levi. Kings could only rise from the line of Judah. And never would the two streams meet — until David, by the Spirit, broke open a new dimension and declared: “The LORD has sworn and will not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek” (Ps. 110:4).

Here lies the secret: the old covenant could never produce a priest-king. Only in Christ, the true Melchizedek, would kingship and priesthood merge without conflict, without mixture, without limitation. And the Lamb has not kept this order to Himself. He has multiplied it into His body, declaring: “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:9).

The Melchizedek revelation is the blueprint of the end-time company — a people who minister before God as priests and rule in the earth as kings. They carry the bread and wine of eternal covenant, and they reign not by law but by life.

📖 Chapter Two: David’s Prophetic Vision (Psalm 110)

David was not only a king; he was a prophet who saw beyond his own throne into the eternal throne of the Messiah. In Psalm 110, he records words so radical that they shattered Israel’s categories:

“The LORD has sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” (Ps. 110:4)

This was more than poetry. This was divine oath. David heard the counsel of heaven — a sworn decree by God Himself — and penned the mystery of an eternal priest-king.

The Radical Break from the Old Order

In Israel, priesthood and kingship were forever separated. Priests came from Levi, kings from Judah. No king could burn incense in the temple without judgment. No priest could sit on the throne without death. The old covenant guarded these borders with fire.

Yet David, by the Spirit, saw One coming who would shatter the division. He foresaw a throne where kingship and priesthood merged into one eternal man. That man was Christ — not a Levite, not a mere son of Jesse, but the High Priest after the power of endless life.

The King Who Ministers — The Priest Who Reigns

David’s psalm describes the Messiah ruling in the midst of His enemies, striking through kings in the day of His wrath, and yet ministering as priest forever. This was not just a ruler of nations; this was a ruler who ministers life, a priest who wields authority. The two streams had become one river.

The Fulfillment in the Lamb

Centuries later, John would see in vision what David only glimpsed: the Lamb standing in the midst of the throne, receiving worship from every tribe, tongue, and nation. And he would hear the song of the redeemed declaring: “You have made us kings and priests unto our God, and we shall reign on the earth” (Rev. 5:10).

What David saw as a prophetic oath became visible reality in Christ — and then multiplied in His body. The throne David foresaw is now shared with sons who carry both priestly access and kingly dominion.

A Word to the Elect

The same Spirit that anointed David’s harp now anoints the sons of Zion. The vision of Melchizedek has come alive in us. We are not a people divided between ministry to God and rulership in the earth — we are a priestly-ruling generation, seated with Christ, ministering upward and reigning outward.

📖 Chapter Three: Zechariah’s Vision of the Branch (Zechariah 6:12–13)

Centuries after David sang of an eternal priest-king, the prophet Zechariah was shown a vision that confirmed and expanded the mystery. Standing before Joshua the high priest and the remnant of Israel, Zechariah heard the word of the Lord:

“Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” (Zech. 6:12–13)

The Branch Revealed

Here is the Christ unveiled in prophetic language: The Branch — springing forth from the root of David, yet reaching beyond any earthly genealogy. He is the builder of the true temple, not of stone and timber, but of living sons joined to Him as one holy habitation.

Bearing the Glory

Zechariah saw that this Branch would “bear the glory.” Not share it with another system, not divide it among earthly thrones, but carry the full weight of divine glory as both priest and king. The very glory once locked behind the veil would rest upon His person — and through Him, upon His body.

Priest Upon His Throne

The prophet declared what no Israelite had ever seen: a priest seated upon a throne. Under the old covenant, priests stood to minister — their work was never finished. Kings ruled from thrones but never entered the holy place. Yet here Zechariah beholds the impossible: priesthood enthroned, kingship ministering. The counsel of peace is between them both — no tension, no division, no conflict.

The Counsel of Peace

What does this mean? It means authority and intimacy flowing as one stream. It means the intercession of the priest and the dominion of the king have kissed each other in Christ. It means the Lamb rules not with iron alone, but with mercy, with life, with the counsel of heaven’s peace.

Fulfillment in Revelation

John would later stand in the Spirit and see this Branch in His glory: Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first begotten from the dead, the prince of the kings of the earth — who has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father (Rev. 1:5–6). What Zechariah foresaw in symbol, John declares in substance. The Branch now shares His priest-king order with a company who reign with Him.

A Word to Zion

Beloved, we are that temple He is building. We are the stones He fits together. We are the priest-king company seated with Him in heavenly places, yet manifesting His reign on earth. The counsel of peace is written upon our hearts. The glory He bears, He has chosen to share with His sons.

📖 Chapter Four: John’s Revelation of the Lamb (Revelation 5:9–10)

David heard it in song. Zechariah saw it in vision. But John was carried into the Spirit to behold the reality itself — the Lamb enthroned at the very center of heaven.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Rev. 5:9–10)

The New Song of Redemption

What John heard was no echo of the past — it was the sound of creation’s destiny breaking forth. A new song, rising from the redeemed, declaring that the death of the Lamb had not only purchased forgiveness, but had birthed a new order of humanity: kings and priests, enthroned with Christ.

The Scroll and the Throne

John wept because no man was found worthy to open the scroll, until the Lamb appeared. Only Christ could stand as both priest and king — both worthy to offer sacrifice and powerful to rule. His worthiness became the key that unlocked the scroll of history. What David prophesied and Zechariah foresaw, John now witnesses in fullness.

Kings and Priests Multiplied

Here is the great secret: the Lamb did not keep the Melchizedek order for Himself. He multiplied it into His redeemed company. The song does not say, You are a king and a priest — it says, You have made us kings and priests. The one priest-king has become the many. The order is no longer shadow, no longer promise — it is shared reality.

Reigning on the Earth

Notice carefully: “We shall reign on the earth.” This is not a heavenly escape; it is an earthly reign. John sees the Melchizedek order multiplied into a people who minister upward before God as priests, and reign outward in the earth as kings. Not someday, not after death, but as a present manifestation of redemption.

The Melchizedek Company Revealed

This is the company David longed for, the temple Zechariah envisioned, the new creation John beheld: a generation of priest-kings who carry the counsel of peace, bear the glory of the Branch, and reign with the Lamb upon the earth. They are the living proof that death is defeated, that the old order is gone, and that a new order has come.

A Word to the Sons

Beloved, this is your inheritance. You are not waiting to reign; you are being unveiled as the reign of Christ in the earth. The new song belongs to you. The throne belongs to you. The Melchizedek order is your birthright in the Lamb.

📖 Chapter Five: Kingship and Priesthood United

For centuries, Israel lived under a divided order. Priests were chosen from Levi. Kings arose from Judah. Each had their boundaries, and to cross them meant judgment. The kingdom was split down the middle — rulership on one side, intercession on the other.

But in Christ, the veil is torn. The division is ended. The two streams converge into one eternal river — the order of Melchizedek.

A Divided House Cannot Stand

When King Uzziah dared to enter the temple and burn incense, leprosy struck him (2 Chr. 26:16–21). When Saul presumed to offer sacrifice in Samuel’s absence, the kingdom was torn from him (1 Sam. 13:8–14). The law forbade mixture. Kings could not minister; priests could not rule. The old covenant safeguarded the separation.

But what was forbidden in shadow is fulfilled in Christ. He is both Lion of Judah and Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. He is both King and Intercessor, enthroned and yet ever living to make intercession.

The Priest Who Reigns — The King Who Ministers

This is the mystery: in Jesus, kingship does not cancel priesthood, and priesthood does not weaken kingship. He rules not apart from His intercession; He intercedes not apart from His authority. His reign flows from His priesthood, and His priesthood is established in His reign.

Sons in the Same Order

What Christ is, He multiplies. He has not left us divided — some to rule, others to minister. He has made us kings and priests. We reign from His throne and minister from His altar. We are not half a people, but a full company walking in a double portion of His order.

One River, Two Currents

Authority without intimacy produces tyranny. Intimacy without authority produces impotence. But when priesthood and kingship unite, the counsel of peace flows. Sons who minister upward in priestly life and reign outward in kingly dominion embody the very life of the Lamb.

A Word to Zion

Beloved, you are not just called to pray — you are called to reign. You are not just called to reign — you are called to minister before God. The Spirit is ending the divided order of religion and raising up a Melchizedek company who live as both. You are the river where heaven and earth meet, the priest-kings through whom Christ manifests His rule in the earth.

📖 Chapter Six: The Counsel of Peace

Zechariah’s vision carried a phrase that unlocks the mystery of the Melchizedek order:

“And the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” (Zech. 6:13)

Between what? Between king and priest. Between throne and altar. Between rule and intercession. In Christ, there is no conflict — only perfect agreement, an eternal counsel of peace.

The Clash of the Old Order

Under the old covenant, the two offices could never dwell in harmony. The king wielded the sword, the priest bore the incense. When one tried to assume the other’s role, judgment fell. The system itself enforced division. There could be no counsel of peace — only separation.

But Zechariah foresaw a new Branch rising who would unite both without contradiction. In Him, priest and king would no longer compete but flow as one.

Christ the Counsel of Peace

Jesus is both enthroned and interceding. He reigns in resurrection power, yet He ever lives to make intercession for us (Heb. 7:25). His rule is established in His prayer, and His prayer carries the weight of His throne. He governs the nations from the place of intimacy with the Father. The counsel of peace is His very being.

Sons in the Same Counsel

Beloved, the Melchizedek company is born into this counsel. When you minister to God, you are not abandoning your authority. When you rule in the earth, you are not leaving behind your priesthood. In the Spirit, they are one river flowing out of Zion.

Priestly ministry fuels kingly dominion. Kingly dominion establishes priestly ministry. Both are rooted in the same counsel: peace.

The End of Striving

Religion breeds striving — priests trying to carry authority without rule, rulers trying to maintain power without intercession. But Zion births peace. The elect are learning to reign from rest, to minister without striving, to govern out of union. The counsel of peace silences the divided voice of Babylon and releases the single voice of the Lamb.

A Word to the Overcomers

This is your inheritance: to walk in the counsel of peace. To reign without anxiety. To minister without burden. To flow in authority and intimacy as one. You are not torn between prayer and power, between worship and warfare. You are the manifestation of both, united in Christ, the Branch who bears the glory.

📖 Chapter Seven: The Priesthood of the Lamb

When men thought of priests, they thought of Aaron. They thought of endless sacrifices, blood on the altar, incense in the holy place, garments stitched with bells and pomegranates. They thought of men bound by genealogy, tied to the tribe of Levi, standing daily to minister — because their work was never finished.

But Christ has brought forth a new priesthood — one not born of flesh and blood, but born of resurrection.

Not by Carnal Commandment

Hebrews declares: “For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law… who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.” (Heb. 7:12,16)

Jesus was not a Levite. He did not qualify under the law of Moses. Yet He was declared High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek — not by human genealogy, but by divine oath. His priesthood is eternal because His life is indestructible.

The Once-for-All Offering

Unlike the priests of old who stood daily, Christ offered Himself once for all and then sat down at the right hand of God (Heb. 10:12). His priesthood is not marked by repetition, but by perfection. He is both the sacrifice and the priest who offers it. His blood speaks better things than that of Abel.

The Priesthood of Intercession

Now exalted, He ever lives to make intercession for the saints (Heb. 7:25). This is not the intercession of pleading weakness, but the intercession of eternal victory. His very life in us is the prayer that cannot fail. His priesthood is not a ritual — it is a living current of resurrection flowing into His body.

Sons in the Priesthood of the Lamb

Here is the glory: what He is, He shares. We are not spectators of His intercession; we are participants. We are priests of the Lamb, carrying His life into the earth. Our worship is not duty but overflow. Our prayer is not desperation but participation in His endless life. Our offering is not animal blood but the very life of Christ manifested through us.

A Word to the Elect

Beloved, you are not a sinner groveling at an altar. You are a son seated in priesthood with Christ. You minister upward with the incense of His Spirit. You stand in the power of His endless life. You carry the once-for-all offering in your very being. The priesthood of the Lamb is your identity — holy, eternal, victorious.

📖 Chapter Eight: The Kingship of the Lamb

The world has seen kings who conquer by bloodshed, thrones established by fear, and rulers who exalt themselves above the people. But the kingship of Christ is unlike any dominion earth has ever known. He reigns not by the sword of men, but by the life of God. His throne is established not on tyranny, but on righteousness.

The Lamb Upon the Throne

Revelation unveils the mystery: “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne… stood a Lamb as it had been slain.” (Rev. 5:6)
The symbol of His kingship is not a lion devouring prey, but a Lamb slain who yet lives. His crown is marked by sacrifice, His scepter flows from humility, His dominion is born out of resurrection.

Dominion Through Resurrection

Paul declared: “For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 5:17)
The kingship of the Lamb is “reigning in life.” His rule is not mere control of nations, but the overcoming of death itself. He rules because He has conquered the grave — and in Him, we reign by the same resurrection life.

The King Who Serves

Jesus told His disciples, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them… but I am among you as he that serveth.” (Luke 22:25–27)
The Lamb redefines authority: not domination, but servanthood; not exaltation, but humility. His kingship is revealed in laying down His life, and in doing so, He manifests a dominion no earthly power can resist.

Sons in the Kingship of the Lamb

As His priesthood is multiplied in us, so too is His kingship. We reign not by controlling men, but by manifesting resurrection life. We conquer not by swords of steel, but by the sword of the Spirit. We exercise dominion not through fear, but through love that overcomes the world. We are kings because we share His life — the life that cannot die.

A Word to Zion

Beloved, lift up your head: you are not a subject crushed under Babylon’s thrones. You are a king in Zion, seated in heavenly places with the Lamb. Your reign is not coming “someday”; it is manifesting now. Every place death once ruled in you is being overturned by His life. You reign in life — not because of who you are in yourself, but because of who you are in Him.

📖 Chapter Nine: The Company of Kings and Priests

When John heard the new song in heaven, he did not hear a single voice. He heard a multitude. The testimony of the Lamb was no longer confined to one Man upon a throne, but released into a company — a people redeemed, transformed, and enthroned with Him.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Rev. 5:10)

From One to Many

Christ alone was worthy to open the scroll, for He alone was both priest and king. But in His victory, He multiplied His order. What was once hidden in Melchizedek, glimpsed by David, and prophesied by Zechariah is now a shared inheritance. The one Priest-King has become the many — a kingdom of priests, a company of kings.

A Corporate Identity

This is not a title for a select few, but the very identity of the sons of God. Peter declared: “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people.” (1 Pet. 2:9)
The corporate priest-kinghood is the destiny of the elect. Together we minister before God, together we reign over the earth. Zion is not built on isolated thrones, but on a corporate mountain filled with sons walking in the Lamb’s order.

Reigning Now

Notice the tense of the song: “We shall reign on the earth.” This is not an escape into heaven, nor a delay into some distant future. This is the present manifestation of the kingdom. The Lamb’s order is revealed now, through His body. Every redeemed son and daughter carries the authority of priesthood and kingship — ministering upward, reigning outward.

The End-Time Witness

The company of kings and priests is not merely a theological concept; it is the end-time witness. Babylon falls when Zion rises. Death is destroyed when the Melchizedek company stands. Nations are discipled when sons walk in priestly intimacy and kingly dominion. The Lamb has multiplied Himself into a body that cannot be silenced.

A Word to the Sons

Beloved, you are not a spectator to this vision — you are the fulfillment of it. The song of heaven is your song. The throne of the Lamb is your throne. The Melchizedek company is not coming — it is rising, and you are part of it. Lift up your voice and take your place among the priest-kings of Zion.

📖 Chapter Ten: The Melchizedek Company and the End of Religion

From the beginning, Babylon has thrived on division. Religion splits what God has joined. It exalts priests who cannot reign, and kings who cannot minister. It builds temples where men are locked away from the throne, and thrones where rulers are cut off from the altar. Babylon is the city of separation — the confusion of roles, the scattering of order.

But Zion is the city of union. In Zion, priesthood and kingship are one. In Zion, the Lamb stands as Priest upon His throne. In Zion, the sons carry both the incense and the scepter.

Babylon’s Divided System

Religion tells you that intimacy with God belongs only to a clerical class, while authority belongs to political rulers. It divides ministry from dominion, worship from rule, altar from throne. It keeps sons crawling at the altar instead of reigning from the throne.
This divided order is the hallmark of Babylon — and it is collapsing.

Zion’s Unified Order

The Melchizedek company embodies a new creation. No more division, no more mixture, no more delay. Priesthood and kingship converge in one body, one generation, one company of sons. They minister upward before the Father, and they reign outward over the nations. They are priests upon their thrones, kings with incense in their hands.

The End of Religion

When the Melchizedek order manifests in the sons, religion loses its grip. Babylon falls. Dead systems shatter. Mixture is consumed by the fire of purity. The Lamb has multiplied His own order into a people who will not bow to separation, who will not trade intimacy for power, who will not accept thrones without altars or altars without thrones.

The Rise of the Company

David foresaw it. Zechariah confirmed it. John declared it. And now the Spirit is unveiling it in you. The Melchizedek company is rising — a priest-king generation who bear the glory, walk in the counsel of peace, and reign in life by Christ Jesus.

A Word to the Elect

Beloved, this is your hour. Babylon is falling, Zion is rising, and the Lamb is handing His scepter to His sons. You are not the divided ones; you are the united ones. You are not bound in religion; you are crowned in resurrection. You are not waiting for thrones; you are seated in them. You are the Melchizedek company, the end of religion, and the manifestation of Christ’s reign on earth.

    1. Thank you, Fawn! 🙏 You’re right—the Spirit will crush the worldly systems under Zion’s feet. As Christ reigns in His sons, Babylon falls and Zion shines as the mountain of the Lord (Micah 4:1–2; Rev 18). Keep declaring it with us—the Kingdoms of this world are becoming the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ!

  1. Awesome- very clear explanation of priests and kings. Upward ministry and outward reigning. Previously divided, now integrated into one. In the person of Christ. And He shares with us, so we function today as both priests and kings, to bring restoration of all things! Great job – thanks Tim Wray!

    1. Thank you, Sellappan! 🙏 You captured it beautifully—upward ministry and outward reigning brought together in Jesus, our High Priest and King (Heb 7; Rev 1:6). In Him, we function today as priests unto God and as kings serving the world, so that the restoration of all things moves from promise to practice (Acts 3:21). Honored you’re walking this revelation with us. Keep sharing, and let me know what you’d love us to open next!
