Literally Youthfuls - Joel 2: 28

Crown-losers who have attained a place in the Great Company have been in the process of development all through the Gospel Age. All Great Company members had to be Spirit-begotten by the Fall of 1914 to be eligible for this class. They are raised from the dead in the second kind of resurrection to life. They have glorious spirit bodies of a spirit nature lower than the Divine, and can come and go as the wind (John 3: 8). They are the Bridesmaids, who accompany the Bride into the King's palace and share in the great blessings of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, partaking there of wonderful spiritual blessings (Psa. 45: 14, 15; Rev. 19: 9; P '79, pp. 89-92).

The Great Company as spirit beings will be higher than the Ancient Worthies Millennially. But after the Little Season, when the Ancient Worthies become spiritual, the Great Company, the antitypical Merarites, will have the highest place under the Ancient Worthies—the antitypical Kohathites—and the Little Flock-the antitypical Priests. The reward of the Great Company is a glorious one indeed. (For details on this class, see PT Nos. 562, 563.)

"Those Consecrating Between the Ages" (Z 5761) seem to be referred to by the "small" in v. 18. Like the Ancient Worthies, they have received the enlightenment, heart-warming and energizing of the holy Spirit, but not the Spirit-begettal. As earthly seed of Abraham, they will be associated Millennially with the Ancient Worthies in the blessing of all the families of the earth.

The Youthful Worthy class (literally youthfuls, Joel 2: 28) among them consists of those who consecrated from the Fall of 1881 to the Fall of 1914 and remained loyal, for whom no crowns were available and all those who consecrated from the Fall of 1914 to the Fall of 1954 and have remained loyal.

Here is the last page we will modify in this chapter of E4. Again, we're just trying to help the Executive Trustee with his "present view" that doesn't work with the very book he believes shows it. There are other pages near 385 we could modify because they offer hints and suggestions of the correct dates (see 381 and 383), but this page is a good representation of them. Our marker is out of ink and it is time to get a new one for the next chapter.

"The Lord evidently held them in reserve" 1881 - 1914

With a sincere heart, ask yourself these Berean questions from the Truth writings:

"When did the Youthful Worthies not exist as individuals of a class? What has transpired since then? Since the Fall of 1914? What is the reason for the Youthful Worthies coming into existence as a class? Therefore what did not happen to the surplus consecrators?"-PT. 1972 Pg. 57

"Before the General Call to the Divine nature and joint-heirship with Christ ceased in 1881, the persons that we call "Youthful Worthies" did not exist as individuals of a class; but since that time they have come into existence as such, and since the Fall of 1914 have become very marked as a separate and distinct class. The reason for the Youthful Worthies coming into existence as a class, though for a time undiscerned as such, is that, after the General Call ceased in 1881, more people consecrated to the Lord than could be probationarily assigned vacated crowns i.e., places in the Little Flock; and therefore the surplus consecrators, though receiving the enlightenment of the holy Spirit, were not Spirit-begotten. The Lord evidently held them in reserve; and as from time to time crowns were lost by the measurably unfaithful, He selected the most faithful and eligible of the surplus consecrators and by Spirit-begettal probationarily assigned to them the crowns that were lost. As time went on, the number of surplus consecrators in reserve continued increasing more rapidly than the number of lost crowns; consequently, a large number of these consecrators was in reserve when the last eventual Little Flock members came under the call (see PT No. 515—a copy free on request)."- PT. 1972 Pg. 34

How simple the Truth is to understand when we see why the Lord "held them in reserve" in order to complete the call to the Church in 1914.

We're only one page beyond the Executive Trustee's misread references and we've got three problems. First, his new consecrators between 1878-81 have no opportunities to serve in the Harvest until the gleaning in 1881 and it should be indicated. Second, more were consecrating than could have crowns since 1878, not 1881. Third, we have to exchange the indefinite condition for the definite--the clear understanding that Brother Johnson gave on the difference between the unbegotten consecrated and the Youthful Worthies as he later details in PT April 1947, pages 52-53:

“It is true that our Pastor called the class that we call Youthful Worthies, not Youthful Worthies, but the Unbegotten Consecrated, by which expression he meant exactly what we mean by that of the Youthful Worthies. We may be sure that in denying the existence of a class that our Pastor repeatedly affirmed exists, this Brother is a revolutionist…”

“…thus the Brother's assumption of restitution following immediately after God's last visit to Gentiles for Little Flock members falls to the ground. The Youthful Worthies as individuals have been developing since in 1881 the general call ceased, and as a class since the last Little Flock member was won in 1914.”
