Levitical priestly order is established/begins here:
Lev 8:1-2 God tells Moses; get some anointing oil, vs 6 now wash (full mikveh/baptism) Aaron & his sons with water, vrs 7-9 dress them up in Priestly garments, vs 12 put the anointing oil on Aaron's head to sanctify/set him apart for Priestly duties. Thus the ORDINATION/establishment of the Levitical Priestly order)
(NOTE: Aaron is baptised/full mikveh with water, then, anointed with oil. And Aaron become's mediator between God & the eintire Nation Cohen Gadol/High Priest, after the order of Levi (Levitical order)
KJV John 3:34 he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God ""giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him""
(NOTE: Jesus is given an unlimited measure of the Holy Spirit)
Priestly context: John water baptises Jesus & God from Heaven anoints Jesus with an "unlimited measure" of the Holy Spirit.
At Jesus baptism the physical/wordly Levitical priesthood is retired. Jesus begins his earthly/priestly ministry as a mediator between man & God. Jesus dies, the earth quaked & the veil (cherubim were embroidered on the veil Ex 26:31) of the Temple is torn in 1/2 (Matt 27:51). Jesus breaks & passes thru the spiritual barrier. Guarded by cherubim angel's, since man's removal from the Garden. Next, in resurrection power Jesus is ORDAINED/established as our eternal/spiritual High Priest after the Order of Melchizedek (Heb 7:3, 7:17)
High Priest
Lev 16:21 Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
(NOTE: Once per yr & only the Cohen Gadol/High Priest, mediator between God & the people could/would: Confess ALL the entire Nation of Israel's, transgressions/sins IMPUTING their sins onto the innocent sinless animal substitute. This process covered the peoples sin for yr.)
Heb 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
(NOTE: The Son of God abideth as a priest continually/forever)
Heb 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Also see Psalms 110:4)
Jesus is every believers High Priest Great (Heb 1:14). When we accept Christ's sin payment & resurrection. Our High Priest imputs/transfers ALL our sins onto Himself remissing/pardoning them ALL (Heb 10:10). He then imputs/transfers His righteousness onto us. And we become the righteous of God in Christ (2 Cor 5:21). Imputed see: Rom 4:8 11, 22, 23, 24, 2 Cor 5:19, Ja2:23, Lev chapter 4.
John the Baptist father, Zacharias, was a Temple Priest (Lk 1:5 & 8). Belonging to the priestly division of Abijah, 8th course rotation to serve 8 days Sabbath to Sabbath. A pure blooded descent of Aaron on both his mothers & fathers side.(1 Chr 24:10)
Additional context:
Zacharias is in the Temple, at the altar of incense, preforming his Priestly duties. When an angel appears (Lk 1:11). Tells him he will have a son (his wife is to old & barren Lk:7) & that his son (John the Baptist) shall prepare the way for the coming Messiah.
God choose Aaron to be the 1st Levitical High Priest & God choose John the Baptist, whom God filled/anointed with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb (Lk 1:15). To be the last Levitical Cohen Gadol/High Priest
Jn 1:29 John announces: Behold the Lamb of God that TAKES AWAY (Temple sacrifices only COVERED sin 4 one yr) the sins of the world
Alot happens at Jesus baptism, none of which had anything to do with Jesus repentance or forgivness of sin. Jesus was SINLESS! (2 Cor 5:21, Heb 4:15, 1 Jn 3:5 1 Pet 1:19, 1 Pet 2:22) & had zero to repent from.
When John the Baptist, God's chosen High Priest lay's his hands on Jesus. He inputed/transfered (see Lev 16:20-21) all the sins of humankind onto the God's chosen LAMB. When Jesus comes up: The Holy Ghost descends in a bodily shape like a dove upon Jesus & a voice came from heaven confirming Jesus is God's Son (Lk 3:22)
Aaron was anointed with olive oil & water baptized, a required priestly ordination. Jesus is anointed from Heaven with the Holy Spirit & water baptized, a required Priestly ORDINATION. Post is My Opinion Only
