Chapter Twenty-Three/The Second Woe -Armies of Cavalry - Myriads of Myriads

 From 1918-1922, the John class began to hold out to distressed humanity the happy prospect that "millions now living will never die." In 1923 it was also made known that the sheep of  

Matthew 25:31-34 Would inherit life on earth under God's Kingdom. A similar hope was held out in the booklet Freedom for the Peoples, released at the international convention in 1927. In the early 1930's the upright Jehonadab class and the 'men sighing and groaning' over Christendom's sorry spiritual condition were shown to be identical with the spiritual sheep having earthly life prospects. (Ezekiel 9:4; 2Kings 10:15. 16) Directing such ones to modern-day "cities of refuge," the Watchtower of August 15,1934, stated: "Those of the Jonadab class have heard the sound of God's trumpet and have heeded the warning by fleeing to Gods people, and there they must abide." - NUMBERS 35:6.
