3 The Youthful Worthies

The Lord in due time brought forth Scriptures that Bro Russell was not
given, as evidence of the existance of a consecrated, non Spirit-begotten class
he spoke of here in the end of the Age. It was through Bro Johnson that He pointed out the Youthful Worthy class, the "young men" of Joel 2:28 (literally
youthfuls) and the "earthen vessels" of 2 Timothy 2:20, the Millennial
Gershonite Levites, a part of antitypical Elisha, Abed-nego in the fiery
furnace, antitypical Ruth gleaning the fields behind the reapers, the men
of Ephraim of Judges 7:24 - 8:3 who were not part of Gideon's army; the
flock of Habakkuk 3:17 (compare Z5383), etc...

"That Servant," among other places, treats of this class in F. 156, 157; Z '11, 181, pars. 5-10; Z '15, 269, pars. 11, 12; Question Book, 151, 152.
