John the Baptist's mother, Elizabeth, was Mary's cousin.
So what does all this mean?

Here is one example of the wonderful gems you can possess
from reading the account of John the Baptist's birth:

 The reason it is documented that both Zecharias and Elizabeth,
John's parents,
were descendants of Aaron is to show that they were both of the tribe of Levi,
the tribe from which the "priesthood" came.

Why is that important?
Because it is also written that Elizabeth was Mary's cousin,
which means that their mothers were sisters.

 Mary's genealogy is given in Luke chapter 3 beginning with her father Heli,
who was of the tribe of Judah as the account shows.

Note: Don't be confused because the genealogy begins with Joseph, Mary's husband. Even a cursory examination of the scriptures shows that Joseph was the "son-in-law" of Heli, which is what the phrase "as was supposed" means in the Greek. Joseph's genealogy is given in Matthew chapter 1.

So what does all this mean?

It means that Mary was 1/2 of the tribe of Judah, the Kingship line,
and 1/2 of the tribe of Levi, the Priesthood line.

therefore; Jesus Christ qualified right down to His very genealogy
as The KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.

Both the ROD and the SCEPTER belong to Him BY HIS VERY BIRTHRIGHT!

He is our KING and our HIGH PRIEST!

Is the Word of God perfect or what?
