The Symbolism of the Melchezidic Priesthood

In section 128 joseph smith starts to list all the people who restored priesthood authority to him. And then in section one, 28 says he speaks of divers angels like michael or adam gabriel and then he mentions raphael. Joseph said that all priesthood is melchezedec. There 's just different portions or degrees of it, is what joseph said. So the melchezidic priesthood is restored over multiple events. Its multi angeled and multi envented. It also includes john the baptist, peter james, john, but also moses, elias and elijah. We generally make our narrative of priesthood pretty simplistic,.
