Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Importance of the Gospel Ministry: An Introductory Lecture, Delivered at the Opening of the Winter Session of the Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey, Nov, 9, 1827 It is evident that Ministers of religion must have been coeval with the first acts of social worship. Long before the institution of the Levitical Priesthood, there were, undoubtedly, persons who "ministered in holy things," that is, who presided in offering sacrifices, and in conducting the exercises of public instruction and devotion. Even among the ante-diluvians, we read of those who "preached" and "prophesied" in the name of the Lord; and after the flood, before the commencement of the Mosaic dispensation, we find mention made of "Melchisedeck, a priest of the most high God;" and also of "Jethro, a priest of Midian," who was, evidently, a worshipper of Jehovah. After the establishment of the Aaronick priesthood, the line was more distinctly drawn than ever between the ministers at the altar, and those in whose behalf they ministered.
