147 Gentiles Become Levites

Isaiah 66:21

21 And of them also will I take for priests and for Levites, saith Jehovah (ASV, 1901).
Continuing the infusion of the Gentiles into the Messianic Kingdom God now says that they will be brought into serving the household of faith. He will appoint them to the highest offices of ministry in His kingdom. Under the Mosaic law only one tribe, the Levites, were admitted to the priesthood, and the Gentiles could not offer sacrifices, and were not even permitted access to the Tabernacle or the successor Temple. Priests and Levites among the Jews were determined by law, and by regular genealogical descent, from the descendants of Aaron, Moses' brother as the Lord told Moses. There was no provision for substituting any in their place.
