Many years ago, I invented a word, or so I thought. This word meant "sons of righteousness" to me. It was Zadokim. After inventing the word, I looked it up and realized that I hadn't invented it at all. I had discovered a Hebrew word that meant "righteous ones."
In the book of Ezekiel, chapter 44, I read some of the saddest verses in the Bible. Israel had gone astray from Yahweh and the priestly order of the Levites had been barred from entering Yahweh's presence because they had aided in Israel's disobedience. I can think of nothing more awful than being kept away from Yahweh. But then I read verse 15. "But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord God."
This describes the Zadokim. We are the priest of Yahweh Most High and we shall draw near to Him and minister to Him. We shall offer Him our lives and all that is in them. We are priests of the New Covenant, ministering to Yahweh. We are also able to teach His people the difference between the holy and the unholy (vs. 23) and we do it all without sweating, in the rest (vs. 18).
I am honored to be a Zadokim, a righteous one, a priest of Yahweh Most High, submitted to the High Priesthood of Yahshua--Melchizedek--and we operating in the New Covenant. As we walk with Holy Spirit, each of us can discover our unique Promise and Purpose as His Zadokim in the Earth. We are His representatives. We are His people. We are the Zadokim.
