Reformed Covenanter
Cancelled Commissioner
The Mediator will carry on his work of saving sinful men, until he has gathered in his church, and completed the work according to the original plan and covenant between himself and his Father, and then will surrender his mediatorial commission and office. There will then no longer be any mediation going on between sinners and God.
The church will be forever united to their Divine Head in heaven, and the wicked will be shut up in the “outer darkness.” That Christ’s mediatorial work does not secure the salvation of all men during the appointed period in which it is carried on, is proved by the fact that when “the end cometh” some men are described as the “enemies” of Christ, and as being “put under his feet” (1 Cor. 15:24, 25). All of Christ’s redeemed “stand before his throne” (Rev. 14:3; 19:4-7; 21:3). They are in the “mansions” which he has “prepared” for them (John 14:2, 3). ...
