ok, so you have a 'selected' group who are 'set apart' from another group 'the rest in thine house'
Thats good. So we can agree that there are two different groups of people. And this reminds us of Jesus words about a 'little flock' (those who are set apart) and the 'other sheep' who are different to the little flock.
It also should remind us of the prophecy of Isaiah
“This is what Jehovah has said: ‘The unpaid laborers of Egypt and the merchants of Ethiopia and the Sabeans, tall men, will themselves come over even to you, and yours they will become. Behind you they will walk; in fetters they will come over, and to you they will bow down. To you they will pray, saying, “Indeed God is in union with you, and there is no one else; there is no other God.”’” (
Isaiah 45:14)
That first group who are 'set apart' are to serve as 'priests' according to the scripture in Ezekiel 44:30
Now lets reason on this for a moment. If the little flock and the other sheep are all part of the anointed, why is the little flock serving as a preist to the 'rest of thine house'???
It doesnt say that the priests are serving as priests to the ones set apart....it says the ones set apart serve as priests to the 'rest of thine house'
Who are the 'rest of thine house' and where do you think they will be located? And secondly, if the anointed in heaven become one with God and Christ, why do some of them need to act as mediators for the 'rest of thine house'
A priest acts as a mediator for those who are alienated from God....in what way are the 'rest of thine house' alienated from God and why do they need others to act as mediaries for them??
