Same reason that Joshua isn't, even though, in Hebrew, Joshua and Jesus are spelled the same, "Yeshua." Joshua was of the tribe of Ephraim, and Caleb was of the tribe of Judah, the same tribe as Jesus. Moses was a Levite, and then the priesthood was transferred to Judah, the line of Jesus Christ, on the Mount of Transfiguration.
Even so, Moses is a type of Christ, and the Exodus represents sinners being delivered from the Kingdom of Darkness through the blood the Lamb. So even though Moses did not enter the Promised Land, he received high praise from God.
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things isGod.
5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. (Heb 3:1-6)

That does not void the fact Christ was of the tribe of levi. Elizabeth had to be of the daughter of Aaron to be married to a Levitical priest.
we cant change scripture. scripture is not in in conflict with itself..
The order of Melchizedek , is not in conflict with the Levi priesthood. Who do you think Christ raised from the tomb ?

where do you get that from?
as far as i can recall i've never seen that written in the scripture anywhere.
i am aware that a Levite was instructed only to marry a virgin, and only an Israelite ((Leviticus 21:13-15)), and that in Ezekiel's vision this is extended to allow a Levite to marry a non-virgin Israelite only in the case that they marry the widow of another Levite ((re: Ezekiel 44:22)).
where in the Law is there a command that a Levite man can only marry a Levite woman? maybe i just don't remember it.
Here is a mindblower to ponder;
Moses is even the mother, sister, brother, and son of Jesus.
Matthew 12:48-50
[SUP]48 [/SUP]But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
[SUP]49 [/SUP]And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
[SUP]50 [/SUP]For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Exodus 4:22
[SUP]22 [/SUP]And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

But Moses did not lead the children of Israel into the promised land:
another one did - Joshua crossed the Jordan River and conquered Canaan.
Symbolic of the limitations of the Law not bringing people to salvation; hence the need for a
new covenant - a new and living way by the Holy Ghost and not the Law.
Joshua H3091 יהושׁע יהושׁוּע yehôshûa‛ yehôshûa‛

Of Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua), the name of our Lord
and two (three) other Israelites: - Jesus.

For answers to your questions read The Epistle To The Hebrews
11 If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law,
13 For he of whom these things are spoken is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
15 And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not according to the law of a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.
17 For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
Hebrews 7: DRB

Christ was not of the tribe of Levi. He was of the tribe of Judah.
The Levitical priesthood is different from the order of Melchizedek.
God, the Father.
Acts 4:10) Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Acts 13:30) But God raised him from the dead:
Rom 10:9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Gal 1:1) Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead
Col 2:12) Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
1 Pet 1:21) Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Mary was related to Judah; Elizabeth was related to Levi. Both those men
were Leah's biological sons (Gen 29:32-35). Ergo: Mary and Elizabeth were
cousins via their grandma Leah.
You really ought to be a little more circumspect with your choice of words
lest the hapless day arrive when they're turned against you.

Keep in mind too that Mary and Elizabeth were simply 'related' to each other somewhere along the line - I don't think anywhere is it stated specifically that they were 'cousins'; that's the general understanding, but they could have actually been more distantly related. I think in John's gospel, the author goes so far as to state that Jesus and John (the Baptist) didn't know of each other, which seems to support a more distant relationship between the two than second cousins.
