Epiphany - Court And Camp

Question (1963)—After 1914, did not the truth on the Epiphany Court unfold beyond Bro. Russell’s expectations? And is there not a similarity since 1954, in regard to the truth on the Epiphany Camp?

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. Thus after 1914 the truth on the Epiphany Court did unfold beyond Bro. Russell’s expectations (Prov. 4: 18; A 20-28; E. 6, pp. 31-43).
