but we are all priests
1 Peter 2:9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royalpriesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
That was written about the anointed priesthood sir, the 144k

No that’s the new covenant church
Holy nation chosen people

Yes, I agree, apparently you disagree on the number of them. Those spirit begotten Christians who were purchased by the blood of Jesus, with whom he made the covenant with. The Bible reveals their number to be 144k.

Keep in mind what happened when Jesus made the new covenant, it was during passover, and Jesus did not make this covenant with the entire assemblage which would have easily been over a million, rather just the faithful 11. Those 11 represented the "little flock" who would be God's covenanted people, the millions outside, who were still God's people, represent the great crowd, the other sheep of Jesus' sheep that were not of that fold Jn 10:16
