1. my lord began ruling from the moment he was installed and inaugurated... as a king and priest... 'in the manner of melchizedek'... which installation and inauguration was evidenced... by the outpouring of holy spirit at pentecost... 30 ce (sorry, dear ones, but 33ce is an erroneous date contrived by the wtbts to make their 607bce, etc., 'fit'.
