Last Priesthood holder
Was Elijah the last Melchizedek priesthood holder until Christ? Or did he just take the sealing keys with him?
Shelia

Shelia,
Elijah retained the sealing keys, but he was not the last Melchizedek priesthood holder. Elisha was next, followed by other prophets up to Malachi, the last prophet of the Old Testament. Also, there were prophets in the Book of Mormon during the same time period, so the Melchizedek priesthood was present for quite a while after Elijah.
