[35] The Second New Covenant

On the night before his death, Thursday night, March 31st 33 AD (Gregorian), Nisan14 according to the BLC, Jesus celebrated the passover meal with his 12 apostles and with Lazarus and with his sisters. The Passover meal was a celebration, a festival of the Jews, it was not a commiseration or a funeral service. It was inaugurated on the night of the last plague of Egypt, the 10th plague (1513Nisan14 or 30th/31st March 1513 BC). This plague killed the firstborn son in every household of the Egyptians, but passed over the household of every Jew who celebrated it. After the Jews left Egypt, God made a covenant with them called the Law Covenant, or the Law of Moses. Moses was the mediator of this covenant. His mediation was that God made a covenant with Moses and then Moses made a covenant with the sons of Israel:

27 And Jehovah went on to say to Moses: Write down for yourself these words, because it is in accordance with these words that I do conclude a covenant with you and Israel (Exodus 34).

1 These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to conclude with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab aside from the covenant that he had concluded with them in Horeb (Deuteronomy 29).

At the last supper Jesus made a new covenant with eleven of his apostles (Judas left after the meal and before Jesus made the new covenant). His mediation was that God made a covenant with him for a kingdom and he made a covenant with the 11 for that kingdom:

30 Therefore, after he received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night (John 13).

29 and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom,
30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones to judge the 12 tribes of Israel. (Luke 22 NWT)

As we saw in section I30, the Law covenant was not a salvation covenant but was merely the law of the church of Judaism. Whereas, as we saw in section I31, the New covenant is a subcovenant of the JAC, an angelic salvation covenant. 

We have already seen in I28, that are 4 spirit covenants which are subcovenants of the JAC, and these are pictured by the 2 wives and 2 maidservants that Jacob had children with. But there are many ways of seeing that the New covenant was not going to be the last covenant to be made between God and his people, Abraham's true seed, before Armageddon. In this section we consider 9 ways of seeing that there were going to be more salvation covenants made:

Gordon first informed the Watchtower about the second new covenant on 1993Adar17, in a letter to them about the forthcoming memorial which he wanted to partake of in a different way (He was mistaken about partaking in that memorial).

[1]    The wording of Jeremiah 31:31-33 and Hebrews 8

[2]    The Symbolism of Keturah, Abraham's second wife/concubine (Hagar, although the mother of Ishmael remained a slave and was not set free).

[3]    The symbolism of Leah, Rachel, Bilhah and Zilpah Jacob's 4 wives

[4]    The New Covenant is never called such in scripture, it is always referred to as 'A New Covenant'.

[5]    Plural Keys of the Kingdom mean plural temples in the Kingdom

[6]    The 2 calls into the Second New Covenant

[7]    The children of Jerusalem above are more numerous than those of Jerusalem below

[8]    The two brothers one of whom complained that the other would not apportion the inheritance in Luke 12

[9]   Paul described himself in Ephesians 3:8 as being less than the least of all saints. Therefore he was in a lower authority covenant, not the 1NC.

[1] Jeremiah 31:31-33 and Hebrews 8

The (first) new covenant itself takes its name from the prophecy of Jeremiah:

31 Look! There are days coming, is the utterance of Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;
32 not one like the covenant that I concluded with their forefathers in the day of my taking hold of their hand to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they themselves broke, although I myself had husbandly ownership of them, is the utterance of Jehovah.
33 For/But this is the covenant that I shall conclude with the house of Israel after those days, is the utterance of Jehovah. I will put my law within them, and in their heart I shall write it. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people
34 And they will no more teach each one his companion and each one his brother, saying, 'Know Jehovah!' for they will all of them know me, from the least one of them even to the greatest one of them, is the utterance of Jehovah. For I shall forgive their error, and their sin I shall remember no more (Jeremiah 31).

In an unprecedented verbatim re-iteration, this whole covenant recital is repeated by Paul in Hebrews8:

[6 But now he has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second]

8 For he does find fault with the people when he says: Look! There are days coming, says Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant,
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their forefathers in [the] day of my taking hold of their hand to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant, so that I stopped caring for them, says Jehovah.
10 For this is the covenant that I shall covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says Jehovah. I will put my laws in their mind, and in their hearts I shall write them. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people.
11 And they will by no means teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying: Know the Lord! For they will all know me, from [the] least one to [the] greatest one of them. 
12 For I shall be merciful to their unrighteous deeds, and I shall by no means call their sins to mind anymore.
13 In his saying a new [covenant] he has made the former one obsolete. Now that which is made obsolete and growing old is near to vanishing away (Hebrews 8).

These are the two accounts of God's words promising a new covenant.

The literal meaning of both accounts is the famous new covenant. This is said to be concluded with 2 houses on two days, since there are 'days' coming, not just one day coming. But how is this house of Judah and how is this house of Israel to be defined?

God made the Law of Moses with Moses and Moses made it with all the 12 tribes of Israel, with every son of Jacob who was still associated with his race. But then in the days of Jeroboam and of Rehoboam, the sons of Solomon, the son of King David, the nation of Israel was split into two kingdoms, the southern Kingdom of Judah and the northern Kingdom of Israel. The reader at this point might well be asking but wait a minute, how can Israel + Judah = Israel? What can we say? The Hebrews were used to one word having two meanings. Whereas modern English tries to remove such ambiguities and when they occur we make jokes out of them!

The Kingdom of Judah initially consisted of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, whereas the Kingdom of Israel consisted of the 10 remaining tribes (both excluding Levi who had no land inheritance in Israel). From the start of its existence, the Kingdom of Israel, for political reasons, set up its own form of Judaism. This northern Kingdom worshipped in Samaria, whereas the southern kingdom worshipped in Jerusalem.

But at the time that God spoke to Jeremiah about the New Covenant, the Northern Kingdom had been destroyed by the Assyrians, and the Southern Kingdom was near to being destroyed by the Babylonians. So the house of Israel, having ceased to be a kingdom, then became a religious grouping of all those who worshipped in accordance with the Samarian version of the law. Likewise the house of Judah became the religious grouping of all those who worshipped according to the Jerusalem version of the law. The Samaritan Pentateuch, which was the 'holy book' of the house of Israel, still exists today, it is a non inspired translation into Aramaic of the Law of Moses. 

At the time that Jesus arrived, neither of the two kingdoms existed any longer, both were run by the Romans through various governors. So the house of Judah became those who worshipped at the temple in Jerusalem and the house of Israel became those who worshipped at the temple in Samaria. 

Loosely speaking the house of Judah were the 'Jews; and the house of Israel were the 'Samaritans'. So those who lived in Galilee would be Jews if they worshipped in Jerusalem and Samaritans if they worshipped in Samaria. Hence this conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman...

9 Therefore the Samaritan woman said to him: How is it that you, despite being a Jew, ask me for a drink, when I am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. (John 4).

Whereas Jesus, although born in Bethlehem of Judea and although a son of David, was raised in Nazareth in Galilee as a Galilean. But the worship choice of his parents was to go to Jerusalem to resent the baby Jesus and make the firstborn sacrifice and to go for the Passover to Jerusalem. So his family were Galilean Jews. 

21 Now when 8 days came to the full for circumcising him, his name was also called Jesus, the name called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Also, when the days for purifying them according to the law of Moses came to the full, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to Jehovah, (Luke 2 NWT)

41 Now his parents were accustomed to go from year to year to Jerusalem for the festival of the Passover. (Luke 2 NWT)

So the new covenant was to be made both with the Jews and with the Samaritans. Both of these groups were circumcised, being sons of Abraham. Now all of the apostles were Jews, since they celebrated the last supper in Jerusalem and not in Samaria. So none were Samaritans by house of worship. In fact all of the 12 apostles at Pentecost (the 11 original apostles plus Matthias) were Galileans by geography (Judas Iscariot was the only Judean of the 12)....

7 Indeed, they were astonished and began to wonder and say: See here, all these who are speaking are Galileans (Acts 2)

So Jesus made the New Covenant only with the house of worship of Judah on 33Nisan14. So he made it with the Samaritans at a later time, on another day in fact on 35Nisan14 (the first Lord's evening meal attended by Samaritan 1NCs). We shall discover that actually there were 4 groups of people called into the New Covenant. Firstly the genetic Jews of the house of worship of Judah were called. Secondly the proselytes of the house of worship of Judah (those who were not sons of Jacob but nevertheless got circumcised and put themselves under the Law of Moses and worshipped in Jerusalem). Thirdly the house of worship of Israel, the Samaritans, and finally the Gentiles. These 4 groups are prefigured by the first 4 sons of Leah, Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah (Leah symbolises the New Covenant and Jacob was the mediator of the JAC, the superior covenant to the New Covenant) - see I28. 

Peter, was the first man to be baptised into the New Covenant by the angels on 29Heshvan29, the last day of the 7 day wedding feast of Cana from 29Heshvan23-29, when the water of the 1EC was turned into the wine of the 1NC. . He was in the wilderness after his baptism on 29Tishri10 (U41), for 40 days and 40 nights until 29Heshvan20. His 1NC feeding ministry started on 29Heshvan21, the 2NC Pentecost. The account describing his baptism is this...

42 He led him to Jesus. When Jesus looked upon him he said: You are Simon the son of John; you will [from the day when you are baptised into the 1NC] be called Cephas which is translated Peter (John 1)

Peter was baptised in holy spirit into the (first) new covenant, into the name of Jesus, the mediator of that covenant. So Jesus became his father by covenant at the time, so he had the right to rename Simon son of Jonah as Peter. When you are born again you are also named again. Peter means 'stone', and Simon was the first stone to be laid in the temple of all the 1NC saints. He was the first to be baptised in Holy Spirit of all of the sons of Israel in the house of Judah, who were called into the 1NC on that day. 

Peter was chosen by Jesus to be the first head of the first true Christian religion. So it was Peter's decision whether or not to let in the next group of 1NC saints. In fact it was his decision whether or not to let in the next 3 groups of 1NC saints. Some churches identify the calling of these 3 groups with '3' Keys of the Kingdom that they say Peter was given...

18 Also, I say to you, You are Peter, and on this rock-mass I will build my congregation [with you as the first stone placed on me the rock-mass], and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you may bind on earth will be the thing bound in the heavens, and whatever you may loose on earth will be the thing loosed in the heavens.
20 Then he sternly charged the disciples not to say to anybody that he was the Christ (Matthew 16).

But this idea (which the LWs used to adhere to) is incorrect. The scriptures plainly show that the temple of the Jews had one door and one key...

27 And all around the house of the [true] God they would spend the night; for guard service was upon them, and they were in charge of the key, even [to open up] from morning to morning (1 Chronicles 9).
22 And I will put the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he must open without anyone's shutting, and he must shut without anyone's opening (Isaiah 22).

So the concept that Peter had 3 keys to one door is a non starter. Instead Peter is rather like the Boarding Steward at an airport. She first calls everyone is rows 1 - 18, then rows 19 - 36 then rows 37 - 54 etc etc. She makes multiple calls for passengers to enter through one door into one aeroplane. This is the parable of the Stewardess if you like. So likewise Peter calls different groups of people at different times into the same temple through the same door opened with the same key. 

So since he has the 'keys' plural of the Kingdom, it is apparent that there is more than one temple in the Kingdom. For more on this see the section below on plural keys meaning plural temples in the Kingdom.

Now the method of entry into every true Christian church is water baptism into a subcovenant of the ICC - see I28 and see I32. Peter did not have any keys to water baptism. That is the preserve of the Elijah of the church, who was John the baptist. So actually there was nothing stopping a Samaritan being baptised in the Jordan by John. Whereas a Gentile could not be so baptised until the end of the exclusivity to Abraham's genetic seed of the LCC on 36Tishri14, the conversion of Cornelius.

No son of the JAC can pass his angelic baptism test without being seaed whilst begin a son of the ICC, for Jacob was a son of Isaac, so the sons of the JAC must also be sons of the ICC (clean in the flesh). So all of the 1NC saints have to obey the rules of the true church in order to be saved. They could of course break them and get thrown out and then be repentant and come back in and then finish the test!

So Peter and his brothers in the worship house of Judah, were called on 29Heshvan29, when the water was turned into wine. Then on 33Nisan16, Mosaic and 1NC first fruits, the next group of people were called into the 1NC. These were the proselytes in the house of worship of Judah, i.e. those who were not genetic descendants of Jacob, but had been circumcised and did worship as Jews in Jerusalem. So that by the time of Pentecost on 33Sivan5, both Jews and Proselytes in attendance were eligible for baptism in Holy Spirit. Whereas Samaritans (who would not have been there - since they worshipped in Samaria) were eligible only for the water baptism since they had not yet been called into the 1NC.

1 Now while the day of the [festival of] Pentecost [33Sivan5 - 50 days inclusively after 33Nisan16] was in progress they [the apostles] were all together at the same place,
2 and suddenly there occurred from heaven a noise just like that of a rushing stiff breeze, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
3 And tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed about, and one sat upon each one of them,
4 and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak with different tongues, just as the spirit was granting them to make utterance.
5 As it was, there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, reverent men, from every nation of those under heaven.
6 So, when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Indeed, they were astonished and began to wonder and say: See here, all these who are speaking are Galileans,[All the 12 apostles were Galileans. Only they had the gifts of the spirit at first, the rest got them by the laying on of the hands of the 12. The listeners homed in on their particular language in the melee] are they not?
8 And yet how is it we are hearing, each one of us, his own language in which we were born?
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the [district of] Asia,
10 and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya, which is toward Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues about the magnificent things of God.
12 Yes, they were all astonished and were in perplexity, saying one to another: What does this thing purport to be?
13 However, different ones mocked at them and began to say: They are full of sweet wine.
14 But Peter stood up with the 11 and raised his voice and made this utterance to them: Men of Judea and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give ear to my sayings.

1. With the 11 in the little Laodicean boat of John21.- the 10 sons of Haman (the 10 2NC saints who celebrated the Laodicean Passover) and Jonah. These are the 10 brothers who visit Joseph.
2. With the 11 LWs still holding a 4EC baptism. 
3. 11 further nuclear detonations counting from the 2nd fire sign?

15 These [people] are, in fact, not drunk, as you suppose, for it is the 3rd hour of the day.
16 On the contrary, this is what was said through the prophet Joel,
17 'And in the last days, God says, I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams;
18 and even upon my men slaves and upon my women slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
19 And I will give portents in heaven above and signs on earth below, blood and fire and smoke mist;
20 the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and illustrious day of Jehovah arrives.
21 And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.'

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you impaled.
37 Now when they heard this they were stabbed to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: Men, brothers, what shall we do?
38 Peter [said] to them: Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, [the water baptism of repentance, and forgiveness of sins in the past] and you will receive the free gift of the holy spirit.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children and to all those afar off, just as many as [the] Lord our God may call to him.
40 And with many other words he bore thorough witness and kept exhorting them, saying: Get saved from this crooked generation.
41 Therefore those who embraced his word heartily were baptized, and on that day about 3,000 souls were added (Acts 2).

Only those who are born again, and therefore have an angelic existence, can exhibit the gifts of the spirit - see I22. Both Jews and proselytes listened to Peter (see verse 10), who addressed 'all the house of Israel' (verse 36) by which is meant everyone under the Law of Moses (Jew and Proselyte and Samaritan). However no Samaritan worshipper would be in Jerusalem at the Pentecost festival. they would have been upon Mount Gerizim in Samaria. So when Peter said you will receive the free gift of the Holy Spirit, that would not apply to Samaritans, not immediately anyway, but in any event no Samaritan would have been listening to him. 

Now the 3,000 people added (verse 41), some of whom were proselytes, were baptised in water in symbol of their repentance. But Peter promised them that they would receive the free gift of the holy spirit. So they were also born again, for those who are not so born cannot receive such gifts as we saw in I22. Therefore we see that the proselytes were called into the 1NC at or before Pentecost (in fact on 33Nisan16 at 1NC firstfruits - see U41). And Peter accepted the proselytes into the first true Christian church through water baptism on 33Sivan5.

But now the interesting common factor appears. The Holy Spirit was poured out at the 3rd hour. The Gentiles were called at the 9th hour, and the Samaritans although not explicitly stated to be called at the 6th hour, were in fact called in that very hour, for we read in the account of the Samaritan woman by the well of water that...

6 In fact, Jacob's fountain was there. Now Jesus, tired out from the journey, was sitting at the fountain just as he was. The hour was about the 6th (John 4).

10 In answer Jesus said to her: If you had known the free gift of God and who it is that says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.
11 She said to him: Sir, you have not even a bucket for drawing water, and the well is deep. From what source, therefore, do you have this living water?
12 You are not greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well and who himself together with his sons and his cattle drank out of it, are you?
13 In answer Jesus said to her: Everyone drinking from this water will get thirsty again.
14 Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water bubbling up to impart everlasting life.
15 The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, so that I may neither thirst nor keep coming over to this place to draw water (John 4).

Well a living water baptism which imparts everlasting life, is a Holy Spirit baptism.

14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they dispatched Peter and John to them; 
15 and these went down and prayed for them to get holy spirit. 
16 For it had not yet fallen upon any one of them, but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Then they went laying their hands upon them, and they began to receive holy spirit (Acts 8).

And then when Peter got the dream which prepared him for the calling of the Gentiles, it was the 6th hour...

9 The next day as they were pursuing their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the 6th hour to pray [the hour of the Samaritan call].
10 But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing, he fell into a trance
11 and beheld heaven opened and some sort of vessel descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four extremities upon the earth.
12 and in it there were all sorts of four-footed creatures and creeping things of the earth and birds of heaven.
13 And a voice came to him: Rise, Peter, slaughter and eat!
14 But Peter said: Not at all, Lord, because never have I eaten anything defiled and unclean (Acts 10).

30 Accordingly Cornelius said: Four days ago counting from this hour I was praying in my house at the 9th hour [the hour of the Gentile call], when, look! a man in bright raiment stood before me (Acts 10).

The dream about eating unclean food, or accepting unclean materials into his own body is a symbolic representation of Peter accepting the hitherto unclean Gentiles into the body of the church. The Samaritan call, which is described in Acts 8, is represented by the time when he got the dream, the 6th hour. Whereas the Gentile call, when the Gentiles received the gifts of the spirit and then were water baptised by Peter, which is described in Acts 10:44-47, occurred at the 9th hour, the hour when the man in bright raiment stood before Peter.

44 While Peter was yet speaking about these matters the holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word.
45 And the faithful ones that had come with Peter who were of those circumcised were amazed, because the free gift of the holy spirit was being poured out also upon people of the nations.
46 For they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter responded:
47 Can anyone forbid water so that these might not be baptized who have received the holy spirit even as we have? (Acts 10).

The third call into the 1NC of the Samaritans at the 6th hour was accepted by Peter in Acts 8. The 4th call into the 1NC of the Gentiles at the 9th hour was accepted by Peter in Acts 10. In the new testament, specific hours are only mentioned in the context of Jesus' death, or a call into the new covenant, or the parable of the workers called into the Vineyard at the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 11th hours (Matthew 20 - see U192). 

So just as the Samaritan call was at the 6th hour, which is midway between the 3rd hour gifts of the spirit at Pentecost and the 9th hour Gentile call. So the Samaritan call occurs on 34Shebat10, midway between the Pentecost on 33Sivan5 and the Gentile call on 36Tishri14.

Jesus was crucified from the 6th hour to the 9th hour when he expired and fell asleep in the Gates of Hades for 5 hours, but did not actually die. Here is a chart of all 4 calls into the (first) new covenant...

The 4 calls into the First New Covenant

For the derivations of 34Shebat and 36Tishri14 - see U192 and U42. The 3rd, 6th, 9th hour and Jewish are the 4 calls into the new covenant. The 11th hour call of the parable of Matthew 20, is not into the 1NC - see U192. The holy spirit by relating calls to hours, is saying that there are 12 calls into various spirit baptism covenants for Christians. 

Now Jesus himself, whilst on earth, made the new covenant with the 11 apostles (Judas having left to betray him) during the last supper on Thursday night 33Nisan14 (33March31). This then was God making a new covenant with the house of worship of Judah, through Jesus. The Samaritan call in 34Shebat was when the house of worship of Israel gained admittance to the new covenant. So this call was God making a new covenant with the house of Israel. God also made the new covenant with two other groups as well, the proselytes and Gentiles, these being the other two calls, which resulted in Peter permitting water baptism of these two further groups called into the first true church.

All of the above is just the fine detail of the new covenant, a covenant which in coarse detail is known to all Christian churches. But now, we are going to use our biblical literary microscope to find another covenant prophesied in the same set of words that informed us about the first new covenant...

8 for he does find fault with the people when he says: Look! There are days coming,' says Jehovah, 'and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant.
9 not according to the covenant that I made with their forefathers in [the] day of my taking hold of their hand to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant, so that I stopped caring for them,' says Jehovah.
10 For this is the covenant that I shall covenant with the house of Israel after those days, says Jehovah. I will put my laws in their mind, and in their hearts I shall write them. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people (Hebrews 8)

The covenant of verse 10 is not 'the new covenant' of verse 8. For it is made 'after those days', after the days of the 1NC made with the worship houses of Judah and Israel. It is a further covenant made only with the house of Israel (which may or may not include the house of Judah). So the house of Israel gets two new covenants in the literal meaning of Jeremiah 31 and Hebrews 8.

Now just as the first new covenant meant a new church, even a new religion, so this further new covenant also means a second new church, it means a second new religion (although still Christian). This new church was actually started by Paul and appointed to feed the ELC (Earthly Lord Covenant) saints on first fruits 66Nisan22 - see U42. So there were two true Christian churches in the first presence of the Christ. The first presence of the Christ is the first period when 1NC saints existed on the earth. There are in fact two presences of the Christ - see I45. The first church of the second presence was an antitype of the first church of the first presence, the one started by Jesus and Peter. Both were churches run by and for the 1NC saints. The second church of the second presence is an antitype of the church set up by Paul. This 4th and last true church is the church of what we call the Second New Covenant. We cannot deduce the existence of the 2NC itself from the literal meaning of Jeremiah 31 or of Hebrew 8. We can only deduce it from the Symbolic meanings of these two scriptures. Incidentally Jeremiah 31 and Hebrew 8 are not parallel account because they are both written in different languages. 

But not only does each account refer to two different new salvation covenants in the literal meaning, each account refers to two further new salvation covenants in the word symbolic meaning. So we end up with 4 new salvation covenants from them. These 4 are the 1NC, the ELC, the HLC and the 2NC, the 4 wives/maids of Jacob (Leah, Bilhah, Zilpah and Rachel)

Pause for thought

This further new covenant is so incredibly significant from a theological standpoint, that we are going to deduce it again a second time. It means for one thing that there has been or will be more than one true Christian church...

31 Look! There are days coming, is the utterance of Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;
32 not one like the covenant that I concluded with their forefathers in the day of my taking hold of their hand to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they themselves broke, although I myself had husbandly ownership of them, is the utterance of Jehovah.
33 For/But this is the covenant that I shall conclude with the house of Israel after those days, is the utterance of Jehovah. I will put my law within them, and in their heart I shall write it. And I will become their God, and they themselves will become my people {Jeremiah 31).

These 3 verses of scripture changed the course of religious history in the first century and the twentieth century. Verse 31 tells us that God will make a new covenant in 'days coming' with two houses. Verse 33 tells us that God will make a covenant after those days with one house. So the covenant referred to in verse 33 is made after the day of making the new covenant referred to in verse 31 with the house of Judah, and after the day of making the covenant referred to in verse 31 with the house of Israel. So there are two new covenants made with the house of Israel.

Paul explains that Abraham's wives stand symbolically for covenants

We can only see two subcovenants of the JAC, two spirit covenants, from the literal meaning of Jeremiah 31, which is also the literal meaning of Hebrews 8. These being the 1NC mediated by Jesus and the ELC mediated by Paul as discussed above. However it is more than apparent that there is no church of the ELC around today, since no one alive today has ever heard of that covenant except the Lord's Witnesses who do not claim to be the church of that covenant.

Paul explains that wives of patriarchs stand for covenants in Galatians 4 - please see U210.

This is a massively momentous revelation. Because the question that is then begged is: What is so special about Genesis 16 and these two wives of Abraham? Well to answer this please consider the words of Hosea.

1 When Israel was a boy, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son (Hosea 11).
2 They [my heavenly sons in the holy spirit] called them [my earthly sons in Israel]. As soon as they went away from before them, they took up sacrificing to the Baal images, and to the graven images they began making sacrificial smoke.
3 But as for me, I taught Ephraim to walk, taking them [the son of Ephraim] upon [my] arms; and they did not recognize that I had healed them (Hosea 11).

Absolutely true. God called and led his people Israel, the sons of Israel (whom he regards as the one person, Israel) out of Egypt after the 10 plagues. But Matthew says:

14 So he got up and took along the young child and its mother by night and withdrew into Egypt,
15 and he stayed there until the decease of Herod, for that to be fulfilled which was spoken by Jehovah through his prophet, saying: Out of Egypt I called my son. (Matthew 2).

So the words of Hosea also have a greater meaning in addition to the literal meaning, wherein the son of God is not Israel but Jesus, who is the second son of God to be called out of Egypt. So Genesis 16 is not alone in having a greater meaning. To cut a long story short, the LWs have discovered that since the whole bible has the same editor, all of it being inspired by God...

16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness (2 Timothy 3).

It is all written in the same way. It is written in a code which defines how many greater meanings each scripture has. Some accounts have no greater meanings, and some have as many as 6 greater meanings. The holy scriptures are accounts written in this code. The grammatical code is the physical manifestation of the holiness of the scriptures. A bible book is holy, it is canonical, if and only if it is written in the symbolic bible code.

So with this in mind let us have a look at Genesis 25.

[2] The AAP of Keturah - Abraham's procreating wife/concubine after Sarah and Hagar

Abraham had a child with Hagar, who was given to Abraham as woman/wife...

3 Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar, the Egyptian, her maidservant, at the end of 10 years of Abram's dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gave her to-Abram, her husband, to him for-woman/wife.
4 And he went to Hagar, and she became pregnant. When she became aware that she was pregnant, then her mistress began to be despised in her eyes [so she still had a mistress].
5 At this Sarai said to Abram: The violence done me be upon you. I myself gave my maidservant over to your bosom, and she became aware that she was pregnant, and I began to be despised in her eyes. May Jehovah judge between me and you.
6 So Abram said to Sarai: Look! Your maidservant is at your disposal. Do to her what is good in your eyes. Then Sarai began to humiliate her so that she ran away from her face (Genesis 16).

But she nonetheless, remained and continued to be referred to as Sarah's maidservant. Then we read in Genesis 25...

1 And he added Abraham [Jacob] and he took a woman/wife [Kerurah was a concubine, not a wife according to 1Chronicles1] and her name was Keturah.
2 And she bore to him [Corrected - NWT] Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.
3 And Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan became Asshurim [3x] and Letushim [3x] and Leummim [3x].
4 And the sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah.
All these were the sons of Keturah [13 singular sons and 3 plural sons making 13x+3x.3x=22x?].
5 Later on Abraham gave everything he had to Isaac, 
6 but to the sons of the concubines/paramours [vg<l,Pi ] that Abraham had [Hagar and Keturah] Abraham gave gifts [prefiguring the gifts of the spirit for the saints and gifts also for the sons of the 1AC, protection, answered prayers, gifts of the flesh - healings?]. Then he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he was still alive, east-ward?, to the land of the East [to heaven as angels for the saints and on earth in Zoar with a shield for the sons of the 1AC, whilst Isaac is in the ark?] (Genesis 25).

The 13 singular and 3 plural sons that Keturah had as a woman/wife, refer to 22 years of the 2NC saints being in existence before she takes over the Kingdom?

Keturah is also said to have 13 sons as a concubine/paramour/lover (procreator) in 1Chronicles1. Perhaps this relates to Bilhah, the ELC? There are 13 sacred years in which 2NC saints are born, starting 1999 to 2011 inclusively.

32 As for the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine/paramour/lover, she gave birth to Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan were Sheba and Dedan.
33 And the sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah (1 Chronicles 1).

7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Then Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and satisfied, and was gathered to his people.
9 So Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite that is in front of Mamre,
10 the field that Abraham had purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and also Sarah his wife
11 And he was after death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son, and he lived, Isaac, near Beer lahai roi (Genesis 25).

Hagar and Keturah were Abraham's concubines. Hagar could not actually become his wife directly due to the interposition of Sarah between them in the ownership chain. One might think that God is condoning procreative sex outside marriage in the case of Hagar here. But one forgets that Abraham owned Sarah as his wife, and Sarah owned Hagar as her maidservant. So Abraham owned Hagar as his wife's maidservant. So Abraham had obligations to look after Hagar and their children, through the agreement/mechanism of slavery or servanthood. So his actions with Hagar were not irresponsible or sinful. His relationship with Keturah is unclear. The Hebrew word means concubine or paramour/lover. Abraham is said to have a plurality of concubines which would indicate the Keturah was not his wife but his concubine. But Abraham was righteous, so he would have owned Keturah in one way or another given the large number of children which she provided to him. So it is perfectly possible that she was his 2nd wife, his procreative wife of later years after the miracle of Isaac's birth. If so then Abraham had two wives (Sarah and Keturah) and at least 2 concubines (Hagar and another/others)

Now Paul has already explained that Abraham's women stand for covenants. He said referring to Hagar and Sarah in Genesis 16...

For these [women] mean covenants (Galatians 4:24).

So here in Genesis 25 we have another woman of Abraham. And it is not a giant leap of inordinate symbolic agility to realise that this woman also means a covenant. 

In fact she is the Abrahamic Angelic Promise (AAP). This promise resulted in 16 saintly children for Abraham as follows. 

Sons of the JAC under law 
Reuben (Jewish call into the 1NC)
Simeon (Proselyte call into the 1NC)
Levi and TCC1 (Samaritan call into the 1NC in TCC1)
Levi and TCC2 (Samaritan call into the 1NC in TCC2)
Judah and TCC1 (Gentile call into the 1NC and TCC1)
Judah and TCC3 (Gentile call into the 1NC and TCC3)
Dan (Jewish call into the ELC and TCC2)
Napthali (Gentile call into the ELC and TCC2)
Gad (Proselyte call into the HLC and TCC2)
Asher (Spiritual Proselyte call into the HLC and TCC3)
Isaachar (Spiritual Samaritan call into the 1NC and TCC3)
Zebulun (Spiritual Gentile call into 1NC and TCC3)
Manasseh (Spiritual Proselyte call into the 2NC and TCC4)
Ephraim  (Spiritual Gentile call into the 2NC and TCC4)
Benjamin (Spiritual Proselyte call into the 2NC and Zoar)

These must be the greater 16 children of Abraham through Keturah of Genesis25. for more on these calls - see U192 on Mathew20, the parable of the calls into the vineyard. The 3 plural children, the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim could cryptically stand for the split Samaritan and Gentile calls and the division of Joseph into Ephraim and Manasseh.

The Hebrew word for Keturah is hrwjq and is from the root rwjq which means either:

  i     Incense or Sacrificial Smoke
  ii    Knots, difficult questions   (Ben Davidson Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon)

8 And when he took the scroll, the 4 living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp and golden bowls that were full of incense, and the [incense] means the prayers of the holy ones (Revelation 5).

So Keturah symbolises a covenant to do with difficult questions and knots and incense. Revelation quoted above explains that incense is the prayers we make, in this case about the meanings of the scriptures. 

1NC churches (the first church of each presence, TCC1 and TCC3) are the churches of Martha (administration and evangelism). She loses her portion to Mary, who represent the 2nd church of each presence which is a research oriented church, (TCC2 and TCC4). The difficult questions are asked by the research churches and the knots of scripture are untangled by their saints. For scripture is very often a bowl of spaghetti. But it is the job of all saints to consider these difficult questions and to persevere in prayer until the spaghetti is all straightened out.

The Completed Symbolism of Abraham and his wives/concubines/maids 

The Patriarch's fleshly wife/woman, the genetic mother of his son, stands for the covenant mother of that son.

The AAP is the Abrahamic Angelic Promise
The 1AC is the 1st Abrahamic Covenant
The ICC is the Isaaic Church Covenant
The JAC is the Jacobian Angelic Covenant
The 1NC is the 1st New Covenant that Jesus mediated at the last supper - to be sacred kings in heaven over the Kingdom of God.
The 2NC is the 2nd New Covenant to be secular kings on earth over the Kingdom of God
The ELC is the Earthly Lord Covenant, to be in the earthly administration of a 2NC King.
The HLC is the Heavenly Lord Covenant, to be in the heavenly administration of a 1NC King.
The OMC is the Omega Covenant, the Love Ransom Covenant, to be a Benjamite 2NC King 
The IAP is the Isaaic Angelic Promise

So those with faith who do not join a true religion are Ishmael. Those with faith who do join a true religion are Isaac. And those who become saints are Jacob. Those of Isaac who do not become saints are Esau. 

There are 3 states of salvation. A son of Abraham (faith), a son of Isaac (true religion), and a son of Jacob (a saint). That is why the Jewish race had 3 fathers rather than all of them simply being the sons of Abraham. 

The work of Alice Linsley on patrilinear half sister and patrilinear cousin double marriage for Horite priests

Sarah was Abraham's patrilinear half sister, as he protested to Abimelech saying...

12 And, besides, she is truly my sister, the daughter of my father, only not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. (Genesis 20 NWT).

Now Alice Linsley has deduced the Keturah was Abraham's patrilineal cousin http://jandyongenesis.blogspot.co.uk/2008/06/keturah-wife-or-concubine.html. She did this by identifying the name of her son Jokshan (Genesis 25:1, 1Chronicles 1:32) with the brother of Peleg who was Joktan. And then reasoned that Keturah named her son after her dad. But had she done that she would not have misspelt her father's name for her son.  

However there is plenty of evidence that Abraham and the line from Adam to Jesus only married fairly close relatives. We do not know whether Abraham was a Horite priest king as Alice Linsley asserts, or what that means. But we do know that he was a priest of God since he as good as offered up his son Isaac to him upon request and since he met Melchizedek and celebrated the FRC with him in Genesis 14. So Abraham was some kind of a priest. And it seems likely that Keturah was a relative of Abraham. 

The Modern Day Gifts of the Spirit

The modern day gifts of the spirit, which are basically the likes of the things in this work, are deduced by untying knots, as the Queen of Babylon recognised in the case of Daniel the prophet:

12 Forasmuch as an extraordinary spirit and knowledge and insight to interpret dreams and the explanation of riddles and the untying of knots had been found in him, in Daniel, whom the king himself named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel himself be called, that he may show the very interpretation (Daniel 5).

For there was a prophet who said:

28 And after that it must occur that I shall pour out my spirit on every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will certainly prophesy. As for your old men, dreams they will dream. As for your young men, visions they will see (Joel 2).

And Peter at Pentecost in 33 AD explained that the 'tongues as if of fire' (Acts 2:3), which plainly relate to a decoded biblical knowledge of the details of Armageddon (actually it is of fire signs)...

3 And tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed about, and one sat upon each one of them, 
4 and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak with different tongues, just as the spirit was granting them to make utterance (Acts 2).

was a fulfilment of the words of Joel above which he quoted as follows:

17 And in the last days, God says: I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams; 
18 and even upon my men slaves and my women slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days and they will prophesy (Acts 2).

But having quoted it himself he makes it the holy word again. And so there is to be a further fulfilment to Acts 2:17,18 in the last days not of the physical Jewish system of things but of the World itself. And here it is!! Here they are, the gifts from God. And as a result of these gifts the following situation will pertain:

12 And they will by no means teach each one his fellow citizen and each one his brother, saying: Know Jehovah! For they will all know me, from [the] least one to [the] greatest one of them.
For I shall be merciful to their unrighteous deeds, and I shall by no means call their sins to mind anymore (Hebrews 8).

[3] Leah Bilhah Zilpah and Rachel - The 4 wives of Jacob

Following Paul's advice again we at once recognise that the 4 wives of Jacob must be telling us something about 4 salvation covenants. It is not hard to see that Jesus who procreated by baptism through 12 apostles is represented by Jacob who procreated by genetics through 12 sons. But Jesus himself has only one wife, namely the 1NC church, actually through Peter, the head of his wife. The 2NC church is married to Gordon and then through Gordon to Methuselah, who is actually Michael's firstborn human son - see I20a.

Genesis 30 lists the order of procreation from Jacob, as follows:

We know that there were 4 calls into the first new covenant (the Jewish call to the house of Judah, the proselyte call, the Samaritan call and the Gentile call). These calls are represented by the 4 sons, Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah respectively. Then there must have been 2 calls into the ELC, then 2 calls into the HLC, then 2 further calls into the 1NC, then 3 calls into the 2NC.

Now you can see a very, very, important thing. There is a gap in the procreation of Leah. This is a gap in the new covenant saints. Jesus is present either through his own human body or through the body of his bride to be who is the new covenant saints as a group, or the HLC saints as a group, since the both are one flesh with Jesus (which flesh must be clean, i.e. have a valid water baptism). But when there are no 1NC or HLC saints around, or when the ones that are around lose their water baptism, then he is absent. You can also see 4 spirit covenants, called into the 4 true Christian religions as we understand it (from 4 Elijah's with 4 baptisms into the ICC, the 1EC, the 2EC, the 3EC and the 4EC). In fact Bilhah and Zilpah were in the same religion, FDS2 - see U34. Paul is Elijah2 and the mediator of the ELC of Bilhah. Gordon is Elijah4 and the mediator of the 2NC of Rachel. We do not know who mediated Zilpah at this point. For more on covenants please see I28.

[4] 'The New Covenant' is always referred to as 'a new covenant' in the scriptures

Nowhere in the scriptures, neither in Jeremiah, in Hebrews or in Luke, is what churches call the new covenant ever referred to as the new covenant. It is always referred to as a new covenant. It is only the cup of the new covenant itself that Jesus calls 'The new covenant'.

20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf (Luke 22).
25 He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood. Keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me (1 Corinthians 11).

31 Look! There are days coming, is the utterance of Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant (Jeremiah 31).
6 who has indeed adequately qualified us to be ministers of a new covenant, not of a written code, but of spirit; for the written code condemns to death, but the spirit makes alive (2 Corinthians 3).
8 for he does find fault with the people when he says: Look! There are days coming, says Jehovah, and I will conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant (Hebrews 8).
13 In his saying a new [covenant] he has made the former one obsolete. Now that which is made obsolete and growing old is near to vanishing away (Hebrews 8).
15 So that is why he is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that, because a death has occurred for [their] release by ransom from the transgressions under the former covenant, the ones who have been called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance (Hebrews 9)
24 and Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, which speaks in a better way than Abel's [blood] (Hebrews 12).

If 'the' new covenant is merely 'a' new covenant, then there is at least one further new covenant in addition to it, so there are at least 2 new covenants. It is as simple as that.

[5] Plural Keys of the Kingdom mean plural temples in the Kingdom

Here is the famous scripture where Jesus gave Peter the Keys of the Kingdom...

18 Also, I say to you, You are Peter, and on this rock-mass I will build my congregation [with you as the first stone placed on me the rock-mass], and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you may bind on earth will be the thing bound in the heavens, and whatever you may loose on earth will be the thing loosed in the heavens.
20 Then he sternly charged the disciples not to say to anybody that he was the Christ (Matthew 16).

It is a famous scripture that none of us have understood for centuries upon centuries. Here again we see another classic example of mankind's spiritual blindness. Most Christian churches interpret these 3 keys as 3 calls into the Christian church, one to the Jews which they say occurred at Pentecost in Acts 2, one to the Samaritans which occurred in Acts 8 and one to the Gentiles which occurred in Acts 10. The LWs fell victim to an improved version of this flawed and daft understanding until March 2006 (Wednesday 22nd evening or Friday 24th evening). Our mistake falls into the same category as the catholic based misinterpretation of Matthew 28:19...

19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit (Matthew 28).

For millennia Christians have mistranslated this baptism and being: In the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, and therefore misinterpreted it as meaning one baptism with the authority of 3 persons. Whereas the Greek says: Into the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, and so this is three baptisms into 3 different covenants, gaining 3 different covenant surnames - see I32.

The Emblem of the Papacy (wikipedia) has 2 keys depicted. Likewise the Vatican Arms has the same 2 keys...

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pope) reveals that the Catholics understand the silver key to represent the power to bind and loose on earth and the gold key represents the power to bind and loose in heaven. This is such an awful perversion of the truth, so typical of the catholic church. The scripture says that the thing bound on earth will be the thing bound in heaven and likewise for the thing loosed. In other words Matthew 16:19 is declaring a correspondence between earthly and heavenly law, not a division between them! The angels are constrained to honour the laws of the true church of imperfect men. 

Returning now to the 3 key interpretation. If the 3 keys are 3 calls into the 1NC, then we have 3 keys to the same door. This plainly will not work. For when we open the first key the door will still be locked shut by the other 2 keys. The correct analogy for calls into the 1NC is calls to board an aeroplane through a departure gate. The gate is opened with one key and then different groups are called one after the other. But there is only one key and only one gate at the airport. 

So for centuries most Christian churches had 1NC saints entering in through a locked door - something that Jesus could do after he had been resurrected as a spirit, yes, but not something men can do, other than in Harry Potter movies. 

Now the bible plainly declares that the house Jehovah has one key, not three keys...

27 And all around the house of the [true] God they would spend the night; for guard service was upon them, and they were in charge of the key, even [to open up] from morning to morning (1 Chronicles 9).

22 And I will put the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he must open without anyone's shutting, and he must shut without anyone's opening (Isaiah 22).

There is one key per house. So if Peter is given the Keys (plural) of the Kingdom, then the Kingdom has at least two houses in it. These are two temples, two worship systems. This means that there are at least two covenants and at least two true religions (successively) under Peter. So here we have found at least two True Christian Churches and at least two Christian covenants, for each true church has a covenant, and each true Christian church has a spirit covenant..

Putting this all together, there is an earthly temple and a heavenly temple and each one has a key and there are in fact two keys to the kingdom under Peter's control. This means that the catholic insignia is spot on. Now this cannot be a coincidence. Furthermore the bible uses gold to represent the 1NC saints (called first and of higher authority) and silver to represent the 2NC saints (called second and of lower authority). So the the Catholic insignia demonstrates divine decoded knowledge. So the Catholics once knew about earthly temple covenants and about the symbolic code of the bible, in fact they knew all about them from TCC2, the church initially of the ELC, the covenant mediated by Paul - see I28. So they have suppressed this information since it condemned them. But God is now re-supplying us with the same information.

So these plural keys are the simplest possible proof of a second temple of true worship, which requires a second covenant amongst other things, since God creates no worship system without a covenant.

[6] The 2 calls into the Second New Covenant

This section is technical but included here for completeness. Here is a table of the 3 calls into the 2NC whose timings are deduced from the fundamental pattern as applied to FDS4 in U42 and from the woman with a flow of blood 12 years of Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 and from the parable of the sower in U63 and from the parable of the vineyard workers in U192.

22 Now one [eiV] of the synagogue-rulers [2x. partitive genitive] [the rule of Laodicea rather than the LWs: POL - named - still a 2NC], Jairus by name [enlightener] [], comes [1x] and having seen him [1x. POL sees Jesus' on 2019Ab27, the 1st of the Sabbaths of reappointed Laodicean Weeks of John20], he falls towards his feet [1x+1x+10x=12x. Jesus' feet, the 1NC reserves bound for the autonomous congregation. Jesus' feet are temporally the later members of his body, which are in contact with the earth, the 1NC reserves. He falls from seeing him on 2019Elul10, the start of the 3rd part of the 2nd presence, for 2x.12x=24x to 2019Tishri4. Then he gets possessed by Satan in time for 2019Tishri14?!?!? - see U853]
23 and entreats him many [times] [How many times? - the sentence count that follows], saying that: My little-daughter [qugatrion] is having [sickness] terminally [All the 1NC reserves]. [Please come or nothing] in order that having come [to us in understanding] you can put-upon the hands to her in order that she might be saved [water baptism] and might live [keep her spirit baptism. One can argue from the literal words that the sickness exists in order that she gets a water baptism from the descended Charles Russell. These are surely 2x.10x=20x. The 20 years of betrayal and 1NC reserve sickness from 1999Nisan14/Iyyar14 to 2018Nisan14/Iyyar14, of failed Passover festivals]
24 And he went off with him. And a great crowd was following him and they were pressing him.
25 Now a woman [The 2NC: Manasseh and Ephraim calls/sons] had had a flow of blood 12 years [from 1999Tebbeth21, the start of the Proselyte call into the 2NC (Manasseh) to 2011Tishri14, the end of the Gentile call (Ephraim). She was unclean in the flesh but clean in the spirit],
26 and she had suffered many [things - or cryptically times, 12 times] under many physicians [spiritual witch doctors in Babylon] and had spent all she had [exhausted her bible knowledge] and had not been benefited but, rather, had got worse [Priests of Babylon confused her even further].
27 Having heard the [things] about Jesus [himself making a 4th true Christian church and raising it up, and coming on a cloud], having come in the crowd, from behind she touched of his outer-garment [genitive direct object];
28 for she was saying that: If ever I might touch just of his outer-garments [genitive direct object] [plural outer garments. the 4EC of Laodicea and the 4EC of Zoar. Outer garments are just regular congregation members as far away as possible from LW or Laodicean authority?] I shall be saved.
29 And immediately the fountain/source of her blood dried up [It dries up from 2011Tishri14, the end of the Ephraim 2NC call, to 2013Adar10, the end of the 2nd presence, the end of the Laodicean 4EC water baptism for Laodicea], and she sensed in her body [grasped the meaning of water baptism for her body] that she had been healed from the scourge [defilement of the flesh by this discharge, spirit baptism without water baptism - same symbolism as Leprosy. She ends the scourge by getting a 3EC/4EC water baptism].
30 And immediately Jesus having recognized in himself the power having gone out of him [The 1NC saints recognize that they have lost their interpretational power and the LWs now have it], turned in the crowd and was saying: Who touched of my outer-garments [genitive direct object] [his dual priesthood]?
31 But his disciples were saying to him: You are seeing the crowd pressing you, and you say, 'Who touched of me?' [who baptised the 2nd presence 1NC reserves in Laodicea - Elijah4 effectively]
32 However, he was looking around to see the [one] having done this [Elijah4].
33 Then [de] the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him [Elijah4] and told him the whole truth [she did not say: I touched them. She told him the games she had been forced to play??].
34 The [one] [Elijah4] but said to her: Daughter [the same term that is used for Jairus' girl], your faith has saved you. Go into peace, and be sound-in-health from your scourge.
35 [At the time] of him still speaking, [ones] were coming from the synagogue-ruler [from his household] saying that your daughter has died [she has given up on the LWs due to our many nuclear prediction mistakes]. Why bother the teacher any longer?
36 But Jesus, having overheard the word/message being spoken, said to the synagogue-ruler: Do not fear, only have-faith.
37 Now he did not let anyone follow along with him except Peter [Gordon] and James [Mike] and John [Frank], the brother of James.
38 So they came to the house of the synagogue-ruler [The president of Laodicea. His house could be Laodicea or could be the Watchtower, since he is ruling over both], and he beheld uproar and many [ones] weeping and [ones] wailing, 
39 and, having stepped in, he said to them: Why are you causing-uproar and weeping? The little-girl has not died [she is still angelically alive], but is sleeping [the virgins that have fallen asleep spiritually due to our many chronological mistakes].
40 And they began to laugh at him [they do not believe that never partakers could possibly be anointed 1NC reserves]. But, having evicted all [of them] [When Laodicea became a false church on 2017Elul10], he took along the father [Gordon, the father of the 4EC] of the little-girl and mother [3rd Holy Spirit to determine 1NC eligibility] and the [ones] with him, and he went in where the little-girl was [in the re-appointed Laodicea]. 
41 And, [Jesus himself] taking the hand of the little-girl [5 Watchtower Passovers 2019Elul14 to 2019Tebbeth14. The descended 3rd Holy Spirit takes Jonah the Laodicean 1NC reserve half apostle and indeed all the partaking 1NC reserves and leads them to the 3EC baptism for the Passovers], he said to her [through his FDS]: Talitha [not Greek noun] cumi [This is Aramaic, the local language of the Jews], which is translated [from one church to the next - actually from Laodicea to the Watchtower]: Maiden [korasion], I say to you, Get up! [All the 1NC reserves - spiritual virgins, maidens]
42 And immediately the maiden [Not the little daughter, not little girl, not the woman, but the maiden. The maiden, 12 years old, is Jonah and the Laodicean 1NC reserves (being translated from one church to another). The little daughter class is Laodicea, having had a stolen water baptism. The little girl is all the non Laodicean 1NC reserves in the Watchtower] rose and began walking [without stumbling, i.e. were already spirit sanctified since Jesus did not tell her to walk. This is the non Laodicean JW 1NC reserves, accepting that they are saints], for she was [a person] of years 12 [from 2006Sivan14, the restart of the 2nd presence to 2019Elul10, the start of the 3rd part of the 2nd presence - 13 years but she died on 2012Sivan14 and lost a year, having not lived continuously through it?]. And immediately they stood out of [themselves] with great ecstasy.
43 But he ordered them many [times] [] in order that no one should know this, and he said [something] should be given her to eat (Mark 5).

Woman (All 2NC saints)
Little daughter (All Laodiceans)
Little girl (Jonah and all the 1NC reserves who partake)
Maiden (12 years old. So Jonah and all the 1NC reserves who partake - the true ones - who are maidens. They are spiritual virgins and have not defiled themselves with women AND are as yet unengaged having never partaken - so a maiden - Talitha Cumi)

Mark and Luke:: Peter (3), James (2), John (2), Father (2), Mother (2), Jesus (7). 3 threads.
Mark 4:35 - 5:21 and Luke 8:22-39 are Parallel. Matthew9:18-26 is not parallel?

The girl being 12 is just starting to bleed as a woman, just starting to be able to give birth, whereas the woman with the flow of blood for 12 years is just stopping bleeding as a woman in such a way as to make herself unclean.

[7]    The children of Jerusalem above are more numerous than those of Jerusalem below

Thanks to Ray Franz (unjustly disfellowshipped from the Watchtower) for this one.

22 For example, it is written that Abraham acquired 2 sons, one by the servant girl and one by the free woman;
23 but the one by the servant girl was actually born in the manner of flesh, the other by the free woman through a promise.
24 These things stand as a symbolic drama; for these [women] mean 2 covenants, the one from Mount Sinai, which brings forth children for slavery, and which is Hagar.
25 Now this Hagar means Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and she corresponds with the Jerusalem today, for she is in slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
27 For it is written: Be glad, you barren woman who does not give birth; break out and cry aloud, you woman who does not have childbirth pains; for the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than [those] of her who has the husband [Moses, the mediator of the covenant for Jerusalem below, the Law of Moses].
28 Now we, brothers, are children belonging to the promise the same as Isaac was.
29 But just as then the one born in the manner of flesh began persecuting the one born in the manner of spirit, so also now.
30 Nevertheless, what does the Scripture say? Drive out the servant girl and her son, for by no means shall the son of the servant girl be an heir with the son of the free woman.
31 Wherefore, brothers, we are children, not of a servant girl, but of the free woman (Galatians 4).

1 Cry out joyfully, you barren woman that did not give birth! Become cheerful with a joyful outcry and cry shrilly, you that had no childbirth pains, for the sons of the desolated one are more numerous than the sons of the woman with a husbandly owner, Jehovah has said (Isaiah 54).

So the children of the Jerusalem above, who is plainly a woman, being able to have children, but not through birth, since these are angelic kids. are more numerous than those of the Jerusalem below, which was the sons of Hagar, the sons of the law, the sons of Israel. But the Jerusalem above has children generated from above, born again, born in the manner of the spirit. 

Things are not quite this simple however. The Jerusalem above, is the 2nd holy spirit, which is God's 2nd wife. God did not divorce his first wife, the first Holy Spirit, when Satan, the mediator of the first holy spirit covenant, sinned killing our genetic parents. Because Jesus not only mediated the 2nd Holy Spirit but also negotiated from Satan the right to reform the first Holy Spirit with one of the 12 apostles of that church as the new head, replacing Satan - see U17. So Michael did the deal which fixed the first Holy Spirit. Then he mediated the 2nd Holy Spirit with better covenant which gave everlasting life to the members of that wife. However the first Holy Spirit had no mediator (Satan) from 3993Nisan14 onwards. It had a new head. But he was not the mediator of the 1HSC. So the reformed Holy Spirit was desolated in that it had lost its mediator. It had God as its husband, but was bereft of its mediator. 

Jesus was the mediator of the second holy spirit covenant, the 2HSC, even after he became a God. The head of the 2HSC is the head of the wife of God. See U210 for more.

20 and through him to reconcile again to himself all [other] things by making peace through the blood [he shed] on the torture stake, no matter whether they are the things upon the earth or the things in the heavens (Colossians 1).

If we read the rest of Isaiah 54 we see that Paul's interpretation that the desolate woman, is Jerusalem above is correct. And that our interpretation (which is also the gnostic interpretation) that she is the 2nd holy spirit, God's wife is correct as well.

2 Make the place of your tent more spacious. And let them stretch out the tent cloths of your grand tabernacle. Do not hold back. Lengthen out your tent cords, and make those tent pins of yours strong.
3 For to the right and to the left you will break forth, and your own offspring will take possession even of nations, and they will inhabit even the desolated cities.
4 Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; and do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget even the shame of your time of youth, and the reproach of your continuous widowhood you will remember no more.
5 For your Grand Maker is your husbandly owner, Jehovah of armies being his name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Repurchaser. The God of the whole earth he will be called.
6 For Jehovah called you as if you were a wife left entirely and hurt in spirit, and as a wife of the time of youth who was then rejected, your God has said [this was the fate of the first holy spirit].
7 For a little moment I left you entirely, but with great mercies I shall collect you together.
8 With a flood of indignation I concealed my face from you for but a moment, but with loving-kindness to time indefinite I will have mercy upon you, your Repurchaser, Jehovah, has said.
9 This is just as the days of Noah to me. Just as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more pass over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not become indignant toward you nor rebuke you.
10 For the mountains themselves may be removed, and the very hills may stagger, but my loving-kindness itself will not be removed from you, nor will my covenant of peace itself stagger, Jehovah, the One having mercy upon you, has said.
11 Oh woman afflicted, tempest-tossed, uncomforted, here I am laying with hard mortar your stones, and I will lay your foundation with sapphires.
12 And I will make your battlements of rubies, and your gates of fiery glowing stones, and all your boundaries of delightsome stones.
13 And all your sons will be persons taught by Jehovah, and the peace of your sons will be abundant.
14 You will prove to be firmly established in righteousness itself. You will be far away from oppression -- for you will fear none -- and from anything terrifying, for it will not come near you.
15 If anyone should at all make an attack, it will not be at my orders [which was not the case with Jerusalem below]. Whoever is making an attack upon you will fall even on account of you.
16 Look! I myself have created the craftsman, the one blowing upon the fire of charcoal and bringing forth a weapon as his workmanship. I myself, too, have created the ruinous man for wrecking work.
17 Any weapon whatever that will be formed against you will have no success, and any tongue at all that will rise up against you in the judgment you will condemn. This is the hereditary possession of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is from me, is the utterance of Jehovah (Isaiah 54).

What is happening here is the law is like the first holy spirit covenant and the new covenant is like the second holy spirit covenant. Both Holy Spirit covenants contained 144,000 heaven born angels presumably.

The point we are getting to is that the number of saints, born again sons of God, not necessarily in the days of Isaiah but certainly before the 2nd Holy Spirit marriage on 33Nisan16, is greater than the number of physical Jews ever born. That is a lot of born again humans before the 2nd wife. From there we deduce that there will be more than 144,000 born again humans through the 2nd wife. Obviously once the holy spirit was poured out at Pentecost, we are not going to get less born again saints than we got from the reformed first Holy Spirit during the Alienation Times of U128!

To put this in perspective. Jesus was the head of the second holy spirit, the head of God's wife, the mediator of that covenant, until he left his father (Jehovah) and his Mother (the 1st Holy Spirit) and stuck to his won wife, the 3rd Holy spirit, the 144,000 1NC saints, who are the holy spirit of the Kingdom of God, the 3rd holy spirit. This then is the 3rd heaven that Paul saw in vision.

1 Really, to boast [is] not profitable to me, for I will come to visions and revelations of [the] Lord.
2 I know a man in Christ fourteen years before--whether in [the] body, I do not know, or out of [the] body, I do not know, God knows--such a one [was] caught up to [the] 3rd Heaven.
3 And I know such a man--whether in [the] body or out of the body, I do not know; God knows--
4 that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words which a man is not permitted to speak. (2 Corinthians 12 GLT)

[8] The 2 Brothers one of whom complained that the other would not apportion the inheritance in Luke 12

13 Then a certain one of the crowd [2NC saints] said to him: Teacher [so he was a pupil of Jesus], tell my brother [1NC saints in the Watchtower] to divide the inheritance [accept their dual role with you in the rulership of the kingdom] with me.
14 He said to him: Man, who appointed me judge or apportioner over you persons [Jehovah in the greater meaning - this is a binary question]? (Luke 12)

For more on this see U11.

[9] Paul described himself as less than the least of the saints

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; (Ephesians 3 KJV)
8 To me, a man less than the least of all holy ones, this undeserved kindness was given, that I should declare to the nations the good news about the unfathomable riches of the Christ (Ephesians 3 NWT)
8 This grace was given to me, [I being] less than the least of all the saints, to preach the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ among the nations, (Ephesians 3 GLT)
8 to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ, (Ephesians 3 YLT)

Well if he is less than the least of them, then he is not in their group which is their covenant which is the 1NC. He is in a covenant inferior in authority. For no saint is inferior in salvation status to any other saint. But saints can be inferior in covenant status.
