“… although Bro. Russell taught that consecration is always in order … and therefore understood that there would be some consecrators between the Ages … and though he saw Epiphany matters quite clearly in many other respects, he did not recognize that there would be more than one class in the Court in the Epiphany. This is not at all to his disparagement …, for the due time had not yet come for it to be understood more clearly.”“After 1914 arrived, … the Lord made clear (through Bro. Johnson) that there was not only one class—the Great Company— but three classes in the post-1914 Court, during the Epiphany in its narrow, 40-year sense, as follows: (1) the unconsecrated tentatively justified (including many of them who came in from 1914 onward), who would not be remanded from the Court until 1954 (instead of 1914, as Bro. Russell had expected), (2) the Great Company, remanded from the Holy, and (3) the non-Spirit-begotten consecrated—the Youthful Worthies—who never had been in the Holy.”
If the current Executive Trustee’s “present view” is correct, then why did the Lord not make clear through Bro. Johnson or Bro. Jolly (who wrote the above reference) that there was a Youthful Worthy CLASS already in the court in the Parousia (pre-1914)? And wouldn't they discuss going from two classes to three classes?
