Like the separation of Church and State in the World today, the Levitical Priesthood is separate from the Kingship. But, the coming REIGN OF CHRIST is a union of Church and State. This is the kind of Government in the Everlasting MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD of CHRIST. And for Christ to be the High-Priest after the order of Melchizedek, the mantle of the existing Levitical PRIESTHOOD must be transferred to Him. And the Mantle of Priesthood is transferred via Baptism by the legitimate or Legal High-Priest, which is John the Baptist at this time. Thus, John the Baptist conceded to Christ's request for Water Baptism when Christ explained to him the purpose of His Baptism (Matthew 3:15).

Christ's Water Baptism pictured His Death and Resurrection, as the Savior of Mankind. But, the main reason why Christ was baptised by John the Baptist is to TRANSFER the Authority of the High-Priesthood of the temporary Levitical Priesthood to Christ's Eternal Melchizedek High-Priesthood.
- Then Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him. (Mat 3:13 MKJV)
The JORDAN River is the geographical point of Change. Now, let's understand what really happened during that CHANGE. At first, John the Baptist resisted, as he did not understand why Christ came to him for water Baptism (Matthew 3:14).
- But John restrained Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me? (Mat 3:14 MKJV)
And for Christ to offer His Blood as the ultimate cleansing Sacrifice, he has to be a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Matthew Chapter 1 and particularly Chapter 2:1-2 proved that Christ has the right to the Kingship, or is a King.
- Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came WISE MEN from the East to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is BORN KING OF THE JEWS? (Mat 2:1-2 KJV)
- … Jesus said to John, Allow it now, for it is becoming to us to fulfill ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Then he allowed Him. (Mat 3:15 MKJV)
So, Christ was immersed in water as a KING (Malki), and came out as the Heavenly MALKI-TZEDEK (King of All Righteousness).

The HEAVENLY ORDINATION OF CHRIST AS THE HIGH PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK
Right here, we see the ordination of Christ as the MELCHIZEDEK => The High-Priest of the Everlasting New Covenant. The ordination was done by God The Father and the Holy Spirit from Heaven (Matthew 3:16-17, Hebrews 5:5-6, Psalms 110:4).

- And lo, the Heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a Dove and lighting upon Him. (Mat 3:16 MKJV)
- And lo, a voice from Heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Mat 3:17 MKJV)
- …He who said to Him, "YOU ARE MY SON, today I have begotten You." As He says also in another place (Psalms 110:4), "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER after the ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK." (Heb 5:5-6 MKJV)
- For the PRIESTHOOD BEING CHANGED (Greek Metatithemi = To TRANSFER), there is made of necessity A CHANGE (TRANSFER) also of the LAW. (Heb 7:12 KJV)
- He said, "...I come to DO YOUR WILL, O God." HE TAKES AWAY the FIRST so that He may ESTABLISH the SECOND. By this WILL we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Heb 10:9-10 MKJV)
HOW CHRIST'S ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD OF MELCHIZEDEK WAS PRESERVED
GOD The FATHER had SWORN or made an OATH that He made Christ as the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek (Psalms 110:4, Hebrews 5:5-6)
GOD The FATHER had SWORN or made an OATH that He made Christ as the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek (Psalms 110:4, Hebrews 5:5-6)
- The LORD HAS SWORN, and will not change His mind: "You are a Kohen (Priest) forever in the order of Malki-Tzedek." (Psa 110:4 HNV)
- …the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a HIGH PRIEST, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, also said in another passage, You are a Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. (Heb 5:5-6 HCSB)
Caiaphas (The corrupt High-Priest) put Christ under oath to tell who really is He (Matthew 26:63). If Christ will not tell the Truth, He sins (disqualifying Himself as the sinless Messiah). This is according to Leviticus 5:1.
In other words, Leviticus 5:1 is the SIN OFFERING for hiding Knowledge, or not telling the Truth. But, Christ told the Truth (Matthew 26:64). And the immediate response of Caiaphas disqualified himself as the High-Priest (Matthew 26:65, Leviticus 10:6).
- IF ANYONE SINS, in that he HEARS THE VOICE OF ADJURATION, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, IF HE DOESN'T REPORT IT, then HE SHALL BEAR HIS INIQUITY. (Lev 5:1 HNV)
In other words, Leviticus 5:1 is the SIN OFFERING for hiding Knowledge, or not telling the Truth. But, Christ told the Truth (Matthew 26:64). And the immediate response of Caiaphas disqualified himself as the High-Priest (Matthew 26:65, Leviticus 10:6).
- And they who had seized JESUS led Him away to CAIAPHAS the HIGH PRIEST, where the Scribes and the Elders had assembled. (Mat 26:57 MKJV)
- …two false witnesses came up and said, This one said, I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days. (Mat 26:60-61 MKJV)
- And standing up, the High Priest (Caiaphas) said to Him, Do you answer nothing? What is it that these witness against you? (Mat 26:62 MKJV)
- But Jesus was silent. And the High Priest answered and said to Him, I ADJURE YOU BY THE LIVING GOD that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God. (Mat 26:63 MKJV)
- Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter SHALL YE SEE THE SON OF MAN SITTING on the RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING in the CLOUDS OF HEAVEN. (Mat 26:64 KJV)
- Then the HIGH PRIEST RENT HIS CLOTHES, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy... (Mat 26:65 KJV)
Caiaphas renting his clothes disqualified himself for being High Priest; even he deserving DEATH (Leviticus 10:6).
- And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his Sons, Uncover not your heads, NEITHER REND YOUR CLOTHES; LEST YE DIE, and lest wrath come upon all the people... (Lev 10:6 KJV)
- "You are to make the robe of the Ephod entirely of Blue Yarn. There should be an opening at its top in the center of it. Around the opening, there should be a woven collar with an opening like that for BODY ARMOR so that IT DOES NOT TEAR. (Exo 28:31-32 HCSB)
- Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments... and also His coat: now THE COAT WAS WITHOUT SEAM, WOVEN FROM THE TOP THROUGHOUT. (Joh 19:23 KJV)
- They said therefore among themselves, LET US NOT REND IT, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the Scripture might be fulfilled (Psalms 22:18), which saith …and for My VESTURE they did cast lots. (Joh 19:24 KJV)
Thus, for 2,000 years (from the First Century A.D. to the 21st Century End-Time), the only legitimate HIGH PRIEST is Jesus Christ after the order of MELCHIZEDEK.
