Use of John's Baptism Until End of Jewish Harvest

...Note carefully Bro. Johnson's statements, especially the italicized portions. Note that he shows clearly that the reaping of the Jewish Harvest, of those Jews who were not broken off as branches (which would include many who were not living in harmony with the Law Covenant and its spirit and who therefore needed John's Baptism), continued, not only until 36 .D., but until the reaping "ended in Sept., 69 A.D., just as in the parallel Gospel-Age Harvest "the reaping ended in Sept., 1914." Note also that he states that the general call (which began with Cornelius and his household, the first Gentile converts) lasted "from Oct., 36 A.D. to Oct., 1881," and that it was "apart of [i.e., separate from] the Jews of the Jewish Harvest." Furthermore, note his specification that "all Jews not reaped and Spirit-begotten during the Jewish Harvest. [not merely during Israel's 70th week, the 7 years from 29 A.D. to 36 A.D.] were broken off as branches and had to be re-engrafted, but not reaped, when they came into Christ."
