Hi Suchomimus. I wanted to answer you concerning Melchizedek. I would reccomend reading our article on him and exploring Hebrews 7, where a majority of this is discussed. Jesus is compared to Melchizedek, because he and Jesus were the only "Priest-Kings". Jesus is referred to in the Order of Melchizedek because he was a priest-king, and not from the Levitical Priesthood. This is special, because being from the Levitical Priesthood, Salvation would've been bound on the Ceremonial law. Jesus was also sworn into his order by an oath. Since Jesus is eternal then the priesthood he belongs to (of the priest-kings, Melchizedek) applies forever
