Levitical priestly order is established at Aarons ordination:
Lev 8:1-12 God commands Moses; to wash/purify Aaron & his sons with water Vs6, Moses then pours the anointing oil on Aaron's head to sanctify = "set him apart" for priestly duties Vs12. Marking Aarons ordination & establishment of the Levitical priestly order.
At Aarons priestly ordination: He's required to undergo full mikveh (precursor of NT baptism), then Moses anoints Aaron with oil & Aaron becomes Cohen Gadol/High Priest, mediator between God & the entire Nation of Israel. The Levitical order is established.
Jesus & the Priestly Pattern
John water baptizes Jesus & from heaven God confirms (Lk 3:22) & anoints Jesus with an unlimited measure of the Holy Spirit. (Jn 3:34)
Right after John baptizes Jesus, He goes into the wilderness (See Azazel Scapegoat Lev 16:8-20) Jesus now begins his earthly/priestly ministry as a mediator between man & God.
Jesus/the Lamb is sacrificed & dies, the earth quaked & the veil of the Temple is torn in 1/2 (Matt 27:51 The Levitical order is retired). Jesus breaks & passes thru the spiritual barrier, guarded by cherubim since man's removal from the garden (the Temple veil had Cherubim embroidered onto it Ex 26:31). 40 days later in the presence of God (Heb 9:24), Jesus enters the Heavenly Tabernacle, made without hands (Heb 9:11), with His own sinless blood (Heb 9:12), sprinkles it onto the alter, obtaining eternal redemption for every believer & becomes eternal mediator betwee man & God (Heb 9:15). Redemption completed, permanent intercession, the Priestly eternal order of Melchizedek is established & Jesus sits down at the right hand of the Father.
Heb 7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Also see Psalms 110:4)
(NOTE: A priest FOREVER after the order of Melchizedek)
Additional info in John the Baptist:
John the Baptist father, Zacharias, was a Temple Priest (Lk 1:5 & 8). A pure blooded descent of Aaron on both his mothers & fathers side.(1 Chr 24:10). Belonging to the priestly division of Abijah, 8th course rotation to serve 8 days Sabbath to Sabbath (1 Chron 23:1-6, 24:1-19).
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.
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.
(NOTE: Luke tells us, Jesus said; John the Baptist was a prophet & MUCH MORE.)
Here the Lord is instructing Aaron His Chosen High Priest:
Lev 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:
(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.
(NOTE: He "shall drink neither wine nor strong drink".)
Jn 1:29 John announces: Behold the Lamb of God that TAKES AWAY (Temple sacrifices COVERED - only for 1 ys, they did not take away sin) the sins of the world
A lot happens at Jesus baptism, none of which had anything to do with sin or repentance, He 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.
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:
(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. Would place his hands on an innocent sacrifice, confess the ENTIRE Nations transgressions/sins, imputing/transferring all their sins onto the sacrifice. This (scapegoat Lev 16:8-22) was lead then 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)
John the Baptist announces, the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. John - God's chosen High Priest, laid his hands on Jesus & imputed/transferred (see Lev 16:20-21) all the sins of humankind onto 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 confirms 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 imputes/transfers ALL our sins onto Himself forgiving/pardoning them ALL (Heb 10:10). Our High Priest then imputes/transfers HIS righteousness onto us. And we become the righteous of God thru faith in Christ (2 Cor 5:21). Imputed see: Rom 4:8 11, 22, 23, 24, 2 Cor 5:19, Ja 2:23 & Lev chapter 4. Amen
