“As
the great Priest after the order of Melchizedek He will then reign over
the world for a thousand years — not as Advocate, but as Mediator
between God and fallen man.” R5492:5
“As for the word Mediator, it is indeed a glorious name and title
possessed by our Lord, but it is not the proper label or name to be
associated with his service in our justification. It is not Scripturally
applicable to the church at all, except that we are associates with
the Mediator of the New Covenant as ‘his members’ in the
sufferings of this present time, and as joint-heirs with him in the
glorious prospects of the Millennium. It will help us greatly to remember
that while the word mediator is very loosely used in general conversation
today it is quite particularly and carefully and exclusively used in
the Bible — only in connection with a covenant.” R4560:6
