How do we know that Jesus is the promised King and Priest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecies, such as those in Jeremiah and the lineage of David, confirming His roles as King and Priest.

The confidence in Jesus as both the King and Priest comes from the prophetic assurances in Scripture. Jeremiah 33:17-18 underscores that a descendant of David would always sit on the throne, while Hebrews expounds on Christ's role as our eternal High Priest. His birth, lineage, and sacrificial death align perfectly with the expectations for the Messiah, validating that He is the one designated by God to hold these offices. Furthermore, the duality of His roles—executing righteous judgment as King and offering perfect sacrifice as Priest—affirms that Jesus is not just a ruler but also our advocate before God.
