Interesting. I’m not accustomed to the high priest connection & Peter. I’d love to learn more about it.
The sources I’ve read connect Matthew 16:18 with the Davidic Kingdom via Isaiah 22:22. Peter is the viceroy of sorts to Jesus the eternal Davidic King. The etymology of Vicar is related to the word vicarious. Peter is the, by definition, the substitute/agent of Jesus’ authority.
It was new to me as well until taking a course last fall on the Gospels. The professor, who is impressively knowledgeable about the Gospels and Scripture in general, spent quite awhile explaining the parallels between the Levitical high priesthood and St. Peter. It was very interesting.
