REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty -The Great Crowd Makes Its Appearance

 From the time of the apostle  John and on into the Lord's day, anointed Christians were puzzled as the identity of the great crowd. It is fitting then, that one of the 24 elders. representing anointing ones already in heaven, should stir John's thinking by raising a pertinent question.  "And in response one  of the elder said to me: 'These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from?' So right away I said to him: 'My lord, you are the one that knows.'" (Revelation 7:13, 14a) Yes, that elder could locate the answer and give it to John.  This suggests that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.  For their part, those of the John class  on earth got to learn the identity of the great crowd by closely observing what Jehovah was performing in their midst.  They were quick  to appreciate the dazzling flash of the divine light  that emblazoned the theocratic firmament in 1935, at Jehovah's due time.
