LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD

LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD by Elder Joe Holder The writer of Hebrews has gone to great lengths to establish the supremacy of Christ over angels, over Moses, over the Levitical order of priesthood, over the Melchesidec order of priesthood. There are references throughout Hebrews that focus on the order of priesthood- Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchesidec, His work is the work outlined symbolically by the Levitical priesthood. We see indications of His priesthood, (in Hebrews) His sacrifice. InHebrews 13:1-25the focus comes very tightly and clearly on the symbolism seen throughout the book. We see the summation condensing everything down to core principles of truth.
