E5, pages 62-64, paragraph 60: "the last of all the classes, the Youthful Worthies, entered the antitypical Ark in 1881."If some brethren are using this reference to show that the Youthful Worthies became a class in 1881, rather than in 1914, then these questions should be answered:
- Are they a Parousia Harvest class or an Epiphany class?
- When did the Epiphany begin? 1914?
- Can two calls be open at the same time? See: Eph. 4: 4.
- If there are two calls, how is it determined who belongs to which class?
- Did "That Wise and Faithful Servant" call them Youthful Worthies?
- Was "That Wise and Faithful Servant" made ruler over all HIS goods?
- Can this “present view” be harmonized with the Harvest parallels?
E5, page 73, paragraph 71: "This period of 56 days typed 602.26849312 years, which ended Oct., 1881. The last day of these antitypical 56 days began Jan., 1871. During this antitypical day our Lord returned, raised the sleeping Saints, cast off Babylon, ended the General Call, and began to develop the Youthful Worthies, who were from God's viewpoint anticipatorily in the antitypical Ark with all its other classes from the beginning of the antitypical Flood year."
Notice how Bro. Johnson orders this last flood-year day of over 10 years. He offers the events in sequential order and the last mentioned is the Youthful Worthies in 1881, not 1878.
1. Our Lord’s return (1874)
2. Raised the sleeping Saints (1878)
3. Cast off Babylon (1878)
4. Ended the General Call (1881)
5. And began to develop the Youthful Worthies (1881)
Conclusion
Were the consecrators, who were unbegotten from 1881 onward, individuals of a developing Epiphany class? Did they have a call from 1914 onward to become a developing Epiphany class with a 40 year call ending in 1954? Were the unbegotten consecrators from 1881-1914 similar to the Crown Losers of the Gospel Age, who manifested themselves as an Epiphany class in 1917?
