Joseph Smith: All the Old Testament Prophets Held the Melchizedek Priesthood

  

By Joseph, January 5th, 1841. Answer to the question, was the Priesthood of Melchizedeck taken away when Moses died.

 

All priesthood is Melchizedeck; but there are different portions or degrees of it.  That portion which brought Moses to speak with God face to face was taken away; but that which brought the ministry of angels remained. All the Prophets had the Melchizedeck Priesthood and was ordained by God himself. (“Discourse, 5 January 1841, as Reported by William Clayton”)
