1. Parallel of and antitype of 33 A.D., the year of our Lord's crucifixion and resurrection, and of the casting off of Judaism for destruction. B60:3; C150:1; C171:1; C204:2; C217:1,2; C233; C234; R5950:11
2. End of Israel's "double," restoring favor to Israel. B218; B228; B232; C260:2,3
3. Beginning of First Resurrection of bride of Christ by the raising of the sleeping saints. C234:1; C304:4; F663:1
4. Beginning of setting up of Kingdom of Christ. C22:1; C233:3; C235:1; D623:1-4
5. The belief that the Kingdom began to be set up, or brought into power in April, 1878, rests on exactly the same foundation as our belief that the Lord became present in October, 1874, and that the Harvest began at that time. C235:1 See above for paragraph from citation.
6. Our returned Lord recognized as Bridegroom, Reaper, King. B238:2
7. God set up his Kingdom "in the days of these kings" before their overthrow (Dan. 2:44). A253:3; A261:3; B170:2; C22:1; C150:1; R5566:14
8. Since "the King came in" (the parallel in time to our Lord's typical assumption of the office of King of the Jews, recorded in Matthew 21:1- 13)--the inspection of the guests, and the testing of their appreciation of the wedding robe have been in progress. Matt. 22:1-14; C204:2; R4123:2
9. Beginning of the period when Revelation 14:13 is fulfilled. Hence, with all of the "feet who die since April, 1878, the moment of death is the moment change. C238; C240; C241; D622; R5566; R5755; 5930; 6015; 6018
10. Babylon, as a system, was cast off (spewed out of the Lord's mouth), and neither the voice of the Bridegroom, nor of the bride shall be heard in her anymore forever (Rev. 18:23). C151-153; C180:2
11. Unhealed Babylon was then sentenced to destruction: the whole system--a system of systems--was rejected. C156:2
12. After the rejection of the nominal systems, the true church class (sanctuary class) alone is recognized and used as God's mouthpiece. C180:2
13. Henceforth from 1878, the light as it has become due and "the meat in due season for the household of faith" has not come through former channels in any degree, but through faithful individuals outside of the fallen, rejected systems. The fall of Babylon as an unfit church-state system, and the gathering out of the worthy wheat, was well illustrated by the fall of the church-state system of Judaism in 33 A.D. C151:2; C153:2
14. All of God's people (in Babylon then) not in sympathy with her false doctrines and practices were then called to separate themselves from her. All truly his people heard the call (Rev.18:4,5). Not only was their obedience tested by the call, but also their love of Babylon and affinity for her errors was tested. C155:last p; C156:2; C161:3; C166:1
15. God's word reveals the fact that the nominal church, after its fall from his favor and from being his mouth-piece (Rev.3:16), would gradually settle into a condition of unbelief, in which the Bible would eventually be entirely ignored in fact, though retained in name, and in which philosophical speculations of various shades would be the real creeds. C167:2
16. Since Babylon (Christendom) is an antitype of the Judaism Church-State system, she was cast off from all favor as a system, but those tentatively justified individuals in her were not cast off, but were given 3 1/2 more years time until October, 1881 to make a full consecration. C217:1, 3
