Isaiah's Prophecy That Terrifies Protestants (And They Hope You Never Read)

From Totus Catholica

Isaiah PREDICTED Catholic Priests—Protestants Try to Hide This If you’ve been told the Catholic priesthood is a “medieval invention,” think again. Isaiah 66:21—written 700 years before Christ—declares: “And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the Lord.” But who is “them”? The very next verse reveals: Gentiles from every nation. Under the Old Covenant, that was impossible. Only Levites could be priests (Numbers 3:10; Deuteronomy 18). Yet Isaiah prophesies a new priesthood, chosen not by bloodline—but by divine call, from among the Gentiles, offering pure worship in every place. 📌 This isn’t speculation. It’s explicit prophecy—and it points directly to the Catholic priesthood: A sacramental, ordained ministry Offering a real sacrifice (the Eucharist) On an altar In every nation As foreseen by Isaiah and Malachi 1:11 And yet, many Protestant traditions ignore or downplay this passage—because it contradicts the idea that “all believers are priests” in the same way, with no need for ordained ministers. ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Video: 📖 Isaiah 66:20–21: God will choose priests from the Gentiles—a radical break from the Levitical system 🌟 Malachi 1:11: A “pure offering” made in every place—fulfilled in the Catholic Mass 👑 St. Irenaeus (180 AD): Explicitly linked Isaiah 66 and Malachi 1 to the Eucharistic sacrifice 🕊️ 1 Peter 2:9 vs. Ministerial Priesthood: Yes, all the baptized share in Christ’s priesthood (CCC 1546)—but Scripture and Tradition also affirm a distinct ordained ministry (CCC 1547) ⚔️ Why Hebrews 13:10 says, “We have an altar…”—and why those outside the Church “have no right to eat” from it ⏳ Chapters: 0:00 – The Priesthood “Invented” After Christ?
