Description: MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD SYMBOL aka SEAL OF MELCHIZEDEK Antique GOLD Lapel Pin / Tie Tack This is a great lapel pin/tie tack for any member of the church. This piece is (3/4") and very nice. Picture is very high quality. Nice spring military clasp on the back. This symbol is found carved into the doors and walls throughout the San Diego Temple, the granite around the outisde of the Newport Beach Temple (shown below), and possibly other temples around the world. If you know of any other temples this symbol is found in, please email me and I will add it into this description. I would love to know. This symbol represents the following according to Hugh Nibley's "TEMPLE AND COSMOS": "Another Ravenna mosiac, e. A.D. 520, shows the priest-king Melchizedek in a purple cloak, offering bread and wine at the altar (Gen. 14: 18-20). The white altar cloth is decorated with two sets of gammadia, as well as the so-called "seal of melchizedek," two interlocked squares in gold. Abel offers his lamb as Abraham gently pushes Isaac forward. The hand of God reaches down to this sacred meeting through the red veils adorned with golden gammadia on either side. The theme is the great sacrifice of Christ, which brings together the righteous prophets from the past as well as the four corners of the present world, thereby uniting all time and space." The intertwined squares represent 1. The four corners of the earth 2. The four tokens of the priesthood. The sphere in the center represents the light of Christ. Email with questions.
