You say that the MORAL LAW and the Ceremonial LAW separate from each other , and can you give a verse for that , please ?
Your thoughts on when Christ becomes our High Priest ith a verse ?
And why do we need a HIGH PRIEST in then body of Christ ?
And there is no need of a HIGH PRIEST in the MILLENNIAL KINGDOM ?

The moral law of the Ten Commandments was not given by inspiration, but was written by God’s own finger on tables of stone.
The moral law is the embodiment of two great principles: Love toward our Creator and love toward our neighbor.
Of the moral law Jesus says, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:17-19).
The ceremonial or provisional law was added because of the transgression of the moral law. The ceremonial law consisted of ordinances, ceremonies and sacrifices in the sanctuary system that pointed to the future redemption through Jesus Christ.
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ" (Colossians 2:14-17).
God instructed Moses to put the tablets of stone written by God in the ark (under the mercy seat) ... the handwritten laws and ordinances were placed outside the ark ... this gives us a symbolic representation of the separation of the two.
Hebrews 7
Jesus Compared to Melchizedek
11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises
in the likeness of Melchizedek (Jesus), 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him,
“You (Jesus) are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
Hebrews 8
Christ’s Eternal Priesthood
1The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2and who ministers in the sanctuary *and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man. 3And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.
The earthly sanctuary was a shadow of the true .... (a earthly example to help us understand the heavenly)
4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
5The place where
they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
"The millennium is the thousand-year reign of Christ with His saints in heaven between the first and second resurrections
Types and antitypes are used extensively throughout the Word of God. There are MANY.
Typology has to do with
New Testament indications of patterns and people in the Old Testament that were to serve as pre-figured shapes of what Christ would do. Adam is one clear example of an Old Testament person who is said to be a type of Christ. He (1st Adam was originally created as the head of the human race, with Christ typified as the 2nd Adam - Matthew 28:18 ) another example Jonah 3 days and nights in the belly of a whale verses Christ 3 days and 3 nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew 28:18
Berean Literal Bible
And having come to
them, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "
All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to Me.
The earthly sanctuary was a type of of the heavenly sanctuary (the REAL one), it's purpose was to give us a picture of how salvation would be completed through Christ. It had no redeeming quality of its own ... it was pointing to our Savior who would come and provide the path back to Him.
