Aaron and Melchizedek
In my studies I now see how the high priesthood of Aaron was one of "process."
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: Hebrews 9:13
When one studies the priesthood of Aaron one sees it"...was a figure for the time then present." For the Lamb of God had not yet come. So the priesthood of Aaron which was under the law that was given unto Moses "... could not make him that did the service perfect."
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. Hebrews 9:23
So no priest under the law was able to be made perfect and as so no perfection was offered to the people under the law.
It was "imposed on them until the time of reformation" Hebrews 9:6,9-10
Now as New Covenant Priests we see Jesus is after the "order" of Melchizedek and that order of Melchizedek is the pattern of the heavenly priesthood. The Priesthood of Melchizedek points toward the ultimate goal of priesthood; whereas the Aaronic priesthood characterizes the means to that goal. The Aaronic priesthood reveals the qualifications which must be met, and the prescribed order by which they can be met, while Melchizedek reveals the majesty of the finished product.
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:22-24
