The following three references appear in the article on Samuel in PT April, 1938 (same year E4 was published) and E13, Chapter 1. Our blog comments are in blue, and brackets within quoted references.
“Thus we see that while Rachel types the spiritual elective truths and the servants that apply them to the two spiritual elect classes in the end of the Age, Hannah additionally types the earthly elective truths and the servants that apply them to the earthly elect class, the Youthful Worthies developed in the end of the Age, i.e., from 1881 onward.” Does Bro. Johnson mean individual or class in 1881? We must continue in the article to get that clarification.
“In time of producing their children, antitypical Sarah was active from Jordan until the Church leaves the world; antitypical Rachel, the same period for The Christ, and for the Great Company as individuals, from shortly after Pentecost onward, and as a class, from Nov. 25, 1916—Jan. 19 [listed as Jan. 14 in E13], 1917 onward until the Great Company leaves the world; antitypical Hannah, the same periods for The Christ and the Great Company respectively and for the Youthful Worthies as individuals, from Oct., 1881, onward to Sept. 16, 1914, and as a class from Sept. 16, 1914, onward until they leave the world finally.” This reference clarifies the first reference from the article (above). It shows the development of individuals and classes for both the Great Company and the Youthful Worthies (no individuals from 1878-81 are mentioned).
“We say this because the said seed given Elkanah by Hannah types the Great Company in its three main divisions and the Youthful Worthies in their two main divisions (v. 21). This blessing was partly by antitypical Eli brought into being as symbolic begettals, in part during the Parousia, but the births take place during the Epiphany, not during the Parousia, so far as these two as classes are concerned, though there were individual crown-losers and Youthful Worthies during the Parousia.” As we see, both the Great Company and the Youthful Worthies are Epiphany classes, yet there were individuals in the Parousia. Again, the article was published in 1938, the same year E4, The Epiphany's Elect was published. We have total clarity on the subject.
