Who is the present day leader of God's People?

Rev. 17:14 "These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."

Question ─ Did our Lord between 1954-1979 use the Great Company Leader (Bro. R. G. Jolly) to bring forth an attestatorial work by the antitypical Benjamin class for the development of the Epiphany Camp? Was this Truth sufficient to lead us into the times of restitution? What roll were the Youthful Worthies to have in this work during his life? And after he died? Were the Youthful Worthies to carry on the "the Great Company's message?"

Answer ─ The Great Company engaging in a special public work, toward Jews and Gentiles, for Epiphany Camp purposes, from the Fall of 1954 onward, in attestation of their purification having been accomplished, whereas the Youthful Worthies are not so pictured, though they are special assistants of the cleansed Great Company in this work, and may, following the directions of the Great Company, accomplish most of it, including especially its last phases, after the Great Company shall have left the earth. It is "the Great Company's attestatorial service" (P '54, pp. 54-59; '56, pp. 90-94). In E Vol. 4, p. 31 Bro. Johnson indicates from certain Scriptures that the Great Company "will have an exceedingly fruitful ministry when they as Jesus' agents gather the people into the camp condition of the Epiphany (Num. 8: 9)," and that this will be done by "the Great Company's message." P.T. 1960, p. 54.
