Levitical priestly order is established/begins here at Aarons ordination:
Lev 8:1-2 God tells Moses; get some anointing oil, vs 6 now wash full mikveh (a form of what we call today 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.
At Aarons priestly ordination: He's required to undergo full mikveh/(baptism), then Moses anoints Aaron with oil. And Aaron becomes Cohen Gadol/High Priest after the Levitical order. Mediator between God & the entire Nation of Israel.
Priestly ordination context: John water baptizes Jesus & from heaven &/then God anoints Jesus with an unlimited measure of the Holy Spirit. (Jn 3:34)
Order of Melchizedek is established/begins here at Jesus ordination:
At Jesus baptism the physical/worldly Levitical priesthood is retired. Jesus begins his earthly/priestly ministry as a mediator between man & God. Jesus dies, the earth quaked & the veil of the Temple is torn in 1/2 (Matt 27:51 - cherubim were embroidered on the veil Ex 26:31). Jesus breaks/passes thru the spiritual barrier. Guarded by cherubim angel's, since sinful 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 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Also see Psalms 110:4)
(MY NOTE: A priest FOREVER after the order of Melchisedec)
Additional info in John the Baptist:
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)
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 (when his staff budded Num 17:1-8) 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 High Priest.
Matt 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
(MY NOTE: Jesus says; John the Baptist was a prophet & MORE)
Luke 7:26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
(MY NOTE: Luke tells us, Jesus said; John the Baptist was a prophet & MUCH MORE.)
Here the Lord is instructing Aaron His Chosen High Priest:
Leviticus 10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
(MY NOTE: Priests of the Levitical order were not to drink wine nor strong drink, throughout their generations)
Here an angel of the Lord is giving Zacharias instructions regarding John the Baptist:
Luke 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
(MY NOTE: "and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink".)
Jn 1:29 John announces: Behold the Lamb of God that "TAKES AWAY"/removes (Temple sacrifices only COVERED/not removed sin for 1 yr) the sins of the world
A lot happens at Jesus baptism, none of which had anything to do with sin repentance, He was SINLESS! (2 Cor 5:21, Heb 4:15, 1 Jn 3:5 1 Pet 1:19, 1 Pet 2:22) having ZERO sin to repent from.
Sin imputation:
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:
(MY NOTE: Once per yr on the Day of Atonement (Lev 16:2-24, 23:26-27, Heb 9:7) the High Priest, mediator between God & the people could/would: Confess ALL the entire Nation's transgressions/sins onto an animal sacrifice, IMPUTING all their sins onto the sacrifice. This (scapegoat Lev 16:10) was lead into the WILDERNESS. The people could see/watch their sins being removed. Where did the Spirit immediately lead Jesus to go after His baptism? The WILDERNESS! (Matt 4:1)
When John the Baptist, God's chosen High Priest/(mediator between God & man) laid his hands on Jesus. He imputed/transferred (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)
Jesus is every believers Great High Priest (Heb 1:14). When we accept/trust in Christ's sin payment & resurrection. Our High Priest, Jesus, (mediator of the new covenant. Heb 9:15) imputes/transfers ALL our sins onto Himself forgiving/pardoning them "ALL" Past-Present-Future (Heb 10:10). Our High Priest then imputes/transfers HIS righteousness onto us. And we become the righteous of God in Christ (2 Cor 5:21). AMEN & Amen.
