The Epiphany Movement

"No New Creature is to be regarded by us, because he is not considered by God, a Great Company member until he has been manifested as such, since God has all along considered all New Creatures, regardless of whether they are crown retainers or crown losers, as priests until manifested as being no longer priests. This is evident from the fact that, in the Gospel Age picture of the tabernacle, there is no place where the Great Company is shadowed forth in the structure. It is only at the extreme end of the Age, i.e., in the Epiphany, that the picture becomes Epiphaniac, and as such the court represents the consecrated who are not priests, i.e., the Great Company and the Youthful Worthies--Epiphany Levites, while during this time the faith-justified who have been the Gospel-Age Levites are by the lapsing of their faith justification remanded, the true ones among them to the Epiphany camp, the untrue ones among them "without the camp."--PT June 1945, P. 96
