Melchizedek: The High Priesthood

The priesthood was after the order of God, was referred to as the High Priesthood. This is the same as the one that God holds. Other than for it to be referred as, "The Priesthood of God," so they used the name of God in vain. And it was called after the order of Melchizedek who also held the high priesthood. This was a respectful position and it showed that that person had great power. Melchizedek was then presented as a certain type of Christ. The general idea was continued in the book of Hebrews. This was where both Melchizedek and Christ were considered to be kings of being right and peace. But, by ordering Melchizedek and his special priesthood to be a type, the writer tried showing Christ’s new priesthood as a superior to the old order
of priesthood of Aaron.
