3. To Deliver TCBTAs
4. To Overthrow Satan’s Empire
5. To Establish God’s Kingdom
6. To Bring Restitution
7. To Test the Human Family

1. To Deliver the Little Flock
This work took place during the Parousia period of our Lord’s second advent. The Church is gathered through and to the Truth. As a part of Christ 2nd Advent work, He comes to deliver her in the first Resurrection.

2. To Deliver the Great Company
A second purpose of our Lord’s return is to cleanse and deliver the Great Company. This takes place during the Epiphany Period* of his second advent.

*What year did the Epiphany begin?
Mal. 3: 2, 3: "But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness."

Verse 2 show two time periods: the Parousia and the second half, the Epiphany. This class (the Great Company) would have to come up out of great tribulation.

3. To Deliver TCBTAs, Reprint: Z5761
We understand one class consecrating between the ages is the Youthful Worthies. They are considered an elect class.

Joel 2: 28, 29: "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

a. Servants: Little Flock
b. Hand Maids: Great Company
c. Old Men Ancient Worthies
d. Young Men Youthful Worthies

E Vol. 17 Page 17: “so the Youthful Worthies come into activity on the stage of God's plan after the opportunity to enter the High Calling for the Divine nature and joint-heirship with Christ is closed. According to the Bible, the opportunity of entering the High Calling was to be closed after "the fulness of the Gentiles" [the full number of the Elect from among the Gentiles] should come in (Rom. 11: 25). This synchronizes with the end of the reaping of the present Harvest.”

To get the complete understanding, see "The Fulness of the Gentiles" that clarifies Br. Johnson's teaching about the Youthful Worthies as individuals from 1881 and a separate and distinct Class in 1914. His teachings dispel the current ET's confusion on the matter. Look for part two coming shortly.
