And that Mediator is Christ, the Son of God. And He always was the Mediator, in the Old as well as the New Testament.

Yes, in my personal study of this passage I have come to the conclusion that the voice heard on Sinai was that of the pre-incarnate Christ; the Son of God. And the voice which will be heard is that of the incarnate Christ; Jesus Christ. He is indeed the Mediator and only Mediator between God and man. And, according to James 4:12, there is only one "lawgiver" and "judge" (Rom 2:16; 2Tim 4:1; Heb 10:28-30).

There are many implications for understanding that it was the pre-incarnate Christ, the Son, Who spoke on Sinai but one major one, for me at least, in that it provides a strong argument against NCT and all those who claim that the Ten Commandments are not applicable to NT Christians and that we are to abide only by the "Law of Christ". However, if the Ten Commandments were delivered by Christ (pre-incarnate) then there is no law which is "new" or supercedes it. In other words, there is only one Lawgiver and thus His laws are one and the same in all ages with the noted exception of those ceremonial and civil laws which were fulfilled at His coming and by which all men shall be judged.
