In your latest essay on the new covenant and the new creation you state that Jesus is only the mediator for 144,000 but how do you harmonize that with what the Bible says at 2 Timothy 5:6? – “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all.”
Jesus’ sacrifice was a “corresponding ransom for all.” However, Jesus is not the mediator of all mankind. That’s because Jesus is the mediator of the new covenant and the new covenant is conducted exclusively between Jehovah and the “house of Israel.” As pointed out in the essay, the “Israel of God” is made up of what Paul called the “new creation.” The new creation is in reference to those who have been born again, which is to say they are anointed.
In discussing the things having to do with God’s covenants, Paul said he had much to say but that it was hard to explain for the reason that the Hebrew Christians had become dull witted, spiritually. Unfortunately, in recent years many of Jehovah’s Witnesses have become spiritually dull too and have become unable to comprehend the deeper things of God’s word relating to Christ’s mediation of the new covenant. As a result some have fallen prey to the twisted teachings of persons like Ray Franz, and others.
