“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
And you have made them to be a kingdom and priests serving our God, and they will reign on the earth — the redeemed community is constituted as a royal priesthood (Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 2:5), exercising both priestly intercession and kingly authority. Future reign on earth (basileuō epi tēs gēs) promises eschatological dominion, the inheritance of the kingdom.
