The Priest-King On The Throne: Exeter COFE-CYEM Ministry Moves Forward
*
THE PRIEST-KING ON THE THRONE – OUR MINISTRY MOVES FOREWARD
Priest-King Yeshua Emet Melchizedek Salem (PK-YEMS)
The Central Truth of COFE-CYEM
“Now in the things which we are saying the chief point is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.”
— Hebrews 8:1
THE CHIEF POINT
The One Thing That Contains All Things
The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews declares that after all his arguments, all his warnings, all his encouragements, all his unfolding of types and shadows — the chief point is this one glorious reality:
We have such a high priest.
Not “we hope for.” Not “we await.” Not “we remember.” We have.
Present tense. Immediate possession. Living reality.
And this High Priest — our Priest-King Yeshua Emet Melchizedek Salem (PK-YEMS) sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.
He did not stand, as the Levitical priests stood daily, because their work was never finished. He sat down. The work was complete. The sacrifice was once for all. The blood was sprinkled. The veil was torn. The way was opened.
And He sat down on the throne. Not on a footstool. Not on a lesser seat. On the throne. He was not merely a supplicant before the Majesty. He was enthroned as the Majesty’s equal. King of Righteousness. King of Peace. Priest-King forever after the order of Melchizedek.
This is the chief point. Everything else in the Epistle serves this truth. Everything else in our ministry serves this truth. Everything else on this website, in these writings, in every prayer and every gathering — exists to point to this:
We have such a high priest, seated on the throne of heaven, and He ever lives to intercede for us.
Why This Is the Chief Point
Because without this, the Christian life is a striving without rest, a labor without sabbath, a pilgrimage without destination.
The outer court was preparation. It taught repentance and sacrifice. But the outer court was never the chief point.
The inner court was progress. It taught service and illumination and prayer. But the inner court was never the chief point.
The Holiest of All is the chief point. And the Holiest of All is not a place — it is a Person. It is the Priest-King on the throne. It is the open presence of the Father, made accessible through the Son, inhabited by the Spirit.
The chief point of all Scripture, all theology, all ministry, all faith — is that God has made Himself fully known and fully accessible in Yeshua Emet Melchizedek Salem, our Priest-King, who sits enthroned in glory and invites us to draw near and abide.
THE PRIEST-KING ON THE THRONE
What It Means That He Sat Down
Every priest of the old covenant stood — because their work was never finished. Sacrifice followed sacrifice. Morning and evening, day after day, year after year. The blood flowed continually. The smoke rose without ceasing. And still, the conscience was never perfected. Still, the worshippers could not draw near without trembling. Still, the veil remained whole, the way barred, the Holiest inaccessible.
But our Priest-King sat down.
The one perfect sacrifice was offered once. The blood was sprinkled once. The veil was torn once. And then He rested. Not from weariness — from completion. The work was finished. The debt was paid. The way was open.
His sitting is the divine declaration: It is done.
And where did He sit? On the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. Not a place of lesser honor. Not a position of subordinate authority. The throne. Co-equal. Co-eternal. Co-glorious. The Priest-King reigns.
This is not a metaphor. This is the present reality of heaven. And because He is there, we are invited to be there with Him — not in body, but in spirit, in faith, in the unbroken fellowship of those who draw near through Him.
What It Means That He Ever Lives to Intercede
The Priest-King did not sit down to rest from His priestly work. He sat down because the sacrificial work was finished. But His intercessory work continues forever.
He ever lives to make intercession for us.
This means that at this very moment — as you read these words — the Priest-King is before the throne, presenting His blood, presenting His finished work, presenting you before the Father. He is not begging. He is not pleading. He is presenting. His presence is the intercession. His wounds are the plea. His seated position is the argument: This one is Mine. I died for them. I rose for them. I live for them. Receive them.
And the Father receives. Always. Without fail. Because the Son intercedes.
This is not a distant theological truth. This is the present reality of every believer who draws near. You are not approaching a reluctant God. You are approaching a Father who has already been moved by the eternal intercession of His Son. The Priest-King has gone before you. He stands beside you. He lives within you. And He ever lives to bring you near.
THE THRONE OF GRACE
From Throne of Judgment to Throne of Grace
In the old covenant, the mercy seat was above the ark, between the cherubim, where the blood was sprinkled once a year. It was a throne of judgment as much as mercy — for if the High Priest entered improperly, he died. The people stood at a distance. The veil remained.
But now — the throne is grace.
Because the Priest-King has sat down, the throne is no longer a place to fear. It is a place to approach. Not once a year. Not with trembling and dread. Boldly. Continually. With confidence.
Hebrews 4:16 declares: “Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.”
The throne of grace is not a future hope. It is a present reality. It is open now. It is accessible now. The Priest-King is seated there now. And He welcomes every soul who comes through Him.
Mercy for past failures. Grace for present needs. Help for every moment of weakness. This is what flows from the throne. Not judgment. Not distance. Not fear. Mercy and grace.
What We Receive When We Draw Near
Mercy — the withholding of what we deserve. The Priest-King has borne our judgment. The throne offers no condemnation to those who are in Him. We come guilty — and we leave forgiven. Not because we have striven, but because He has interceded.
Grace — the giving of what we do not deserve. Strength for weakness. Wisdom for confusion. Peace for anxiety. Hope for despair. The throne does not merely pardon — it empowers. The same grace that saved us now sustains us.
Help in time of need — not abstract blessing, but specific, timely, personal assistance. The Priest-King knows our needs before we ask. He intercedes with perfect knowledge. And the throne answers with perfect provision.
This is not a transaction. This is a relationship. The throne is not a vending machine. It is the seat of our beloved Priest-King. We draw near to Him. And in drawing near, we receive everything we need.
THE MINISTRY OF COFE-CYEM
Our Sole Purpose Revealed
From this truth — the Priest-King on the throne, the Holiest of All open, the throne of grace fully accessible — our ministry now flows with singular focus.
COFE-CYEM exists for one reason: to lead every soul into the living recognition of PK-YEMS, and to help them draw near to the throne of grace with boldness, abide in His presence, and rest in His finished work.
We do not call people to a website. The website is a tent. It will pass away.
We do not call people to teachings. Teachings are servants. They point beyond themselves.
We do not call people to systems or symbols or frameworks. These were the outer courts. They have served their purpose.
We call people to the Priest-King on the throne.
We say to every weary, wounded, doubting, striving soul: Look up. He is there. The veil is gone. The way is open. Come in. Draw near. Abide. Rest.
How We Fulfill This Purpose
Through Every Prayer: We do not pray from a distance. We pray from within the Holiest, where the Priest-King already presents every need before the Father. Those who pray with us are not distant supplicants — they are fellow-worshippers standing together before the mercy seat.
Through Every Teaching: We do not teach for information. We teach for invitation. Every word is a door. Every truth is a pathway. Every Scripture is a window into the Holiest. And when the teaching has done its work, the hearer is not left with a concept — they are left facing the Priest-King.
Through Every Gathering: We do not meet to discuss the Priest-King from a distance. We meet with Him. Fellowship is not a meeting about God — it is a shared dwelling in His presence. And from that dwelling, we encourage one another to hold fast our confession, to consider one another, to love and to do good works.
Through Every Soul Who Comes: Whether seeking, questioning, suffering, or rejoicing — every person who encounters this ministry receives the same simple, profound invitation: Come. The way is open. The Priest-King waits. Draw near. Abide. Rest.
The Simplicity of Our Message
The message of COFE-CYEM is now so simple that a child can receive it, and so deep that the most mature believer will spend eternity exploring it:
The Priest-King is on the throne. The Holiest of All is open. Draw near with boldness. Receive mercy and grace. Abide in Him who ever lives to intercede for you.
That is all. That is everything.
We add nothing to it. We subtract nothing from it. We do not complicate it with systems or symbols or requirements. We simply speak it, live it, and invite others into it.
THE CALL TO EVERY SOUL
To the Weary
You have striven long enough. You have labored in the outer court, bringing sacrifices, seeking forgiveness, trying to be good enough. Stop. The work is finished. The Priest-King has done it all. Come in from the cold courts. Enter the Holiest. Rest.
To the Wounded
You carry shame, guilt, pain, and regret. You believe you are too dirty to draw near. You are wrong. The blood of the Priest-King cleanses all sin. His intercession covers every failure. The throne of grace is not for the perfect — it is for the wounded. Come in and be healed.
To the Doubting
You have questions. You struggle with uncertainty. You wonder if God can really be trusted. Come and see. The Holiest of All is not a place where questions are silenced — it is a place where they are answered, not with arguments, but with presence. The Priest-King does not turn away the seeking heart. Come in and find truth.
To the Steadfast
You have walked faithfully for many years. You serve, pray, study, and sacrifice. There is always deeper. The Holiest of All has no end. The Priest-King’s intercession has no limit. You have not arrived at a destination — you have entered an ocean. Swim deeper. Abide further. There is more of Him to know.
To Every Soul
The way is open. The veil is gone. The throne awaits.
Not because of your goodness. Not because of your effort. Not because of your faith — but because of His finished work. The Priest-King has entered the presence of God for you. He has sprinkled His blood on the mercy seat for you. He ever lives to intercede for you.
Do not delay. Do not strive to prepare yourself. Do not wait until you feel worthy.
Come as you are. The Priest-King welcomes all who come to God through Him.
Come in. Abide. Rest.
