Summary
In the fifth lecture, Fr. Athanasios interprets Revelation 1:5-6 through Exodus 19:6, Isaiah 61:6, and 1 Peter 2, arguing that Christ came not only for moral improvement but to constitute believers as a royal priesthood and kingdom offered to the Father. He distinguishes Christianity as revelation and kingdom rather than a humanly devised religion, and explains how Baptism and Chrismation make every believer a participant in Christ's prophetic, priestly, and royal offices. The lecture also differentiates the general priesthood of the faithful from the ordained liturgical priesthood, rejects political readings of the Kingdom of God, and presents the believer's self-offering as the sacrifice proper to the living temple of the Holy Spirit.
