There are two applications for the Epiphany...
One the 40 years following the Parousia wherein the Great Company and Youthful Worthy classes were dealt with,but the Epiphany as viewed by the Pastor as the Time of Trouble and the Apokolupsis is what will reveal Jesus to the world... by classes in stages. Certainly He has been revealed to us... and to quite a few through us; word of mouth is a principle tool in this area, but also through world events etc. Bro Johnson gave 28 signs proving Christ's return... 14 religious and 14 secular. I think it works that way.
He will be revealed as by fire. There are slight differences to the meaning of the two words above (Epiphaneia and Apokolupsis), but the work of both of them is to be fulfilled in this general time of trouble... the bright shining and the revealing or uncovering. You can shine a light on something, but if it is covered you can still only see the cover, but once the lid is off the beauty underneath can be seen; layers... that is how error is to be destroyed. Hail that shall sweep away a refuge of lies (Isaiah 28:17) and hail is made of layers of frozen water which represents Truth... Hail = hard distressing truth, so let the trouble flow! He is chipping away at the infrstructure of Satan's tottering empire!
God bless
