(28) Bro. Russell is not to be faulted for his immature application (in F 129) of the Gershonite Levites antitypically to "the saved world of mankind," because it was made before the fuller Truth on these Levites correctly applying antitypically to the Youthful Worthies was due to be understood (see E 4, p. 323). Likewise, Bro. Johnson is not to be faulted for making an immature application in E 11, p. 715, of "the five daughters of Zelophehad-(Num. 27: 1-11)" to the Youthful Worthies, because it was made before the fuller truth on them was due to be understood. He did not identify five groups of the Youthful Worthies as being typed by them. But his applying these daughters as typing the Youthful Worthies—Spirit-enlightened, non-Spirit-begotten fully consecrated ones—helps us to understand that these daughters do type associated tentatively justified brethren who in the post-Sept. 16, 1954 Epiphany period become Spirit-enlightened, non-Spirit-begotten fully consecrated ones—i.e., Consecrated Epiphany Campers. As we shall see from what follows, the Scriptures, reason and facts show that these daughters could not type Youthful Worthies; rather, in this setting they type Consecrated Epiphany Campers.
