How do we know God's sovereignty in choosing the priesthood?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty in the selection of the priesthood is demonstrated through His choice of Aaron and his descendants as the exclusive priests.

In 1 Samuel 2, we see God referencing His historical choice of Aaron, illustrating His sovereign election in appointing a priestly lineage. This choice emphasized God’s authority, mentioning in verse 28 that He chose Aaron out of all the tribes to serve in this capacity because of His divine will. The priesthood was not determined by human merit but rather God's sovereign grace, painting a clear picture of His control over spiritual leadership. According to Deuteronomy 18:15, God would raise up a prophet like Moses from among the people, further illustrating His sovereign initiative in appointing leaders for His people. Thus, the priesthood stands as evidence of God’s predestined plan and sovereign choice.
