All Christians are potentially the priests after the order of Melchizedek. In this consists the sense of the royal priesthood, in fact. Today, the understanding of the essence of the New Testament priesthood is lost. The situation has regressed to the understanding proper to the Old Testament and the priests perform only the ritual nowadays. They produce some ritual gestures without understanding the meaning of the priesthood. Therefore, the laity is excluded from the priesthood.

The priesthood after the order of Melchizedek is priesthood after the Gift from above. It’s impossible to learn it in the academy. It is a gift of understanding of sacred things; the gift to represent all Creation before the face of God. It is a gift of understanding of the Project of God and participation in this Project. It is a gift of Zerubbabeland Cyrus, the builders of the Temple.

The tithe, moreover, is not the tenth part of the whole. It's quite opposite. It is this cornerstone, or rather the crown, this is a part that brings the fragmented parts into a whole. This is the essence of the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. It is possible to interact with God only through integral categories. It is not the tenth part of his assets that Abraham offered to Melchizedek, but his entire world, entire being, brought into integral format. Therefore, Melchizedek blessed Abraham with bread and wine. Because they represent Heaven and Earth, all of which consist the World. There was a mutual exchange of universes. God gave His whole World to man, and the man gave his whole world to God.
