(Based on the original YORWW Congregation source material.)

More than three and one‑half decades — yes, 35 years — after its issuance on April 12th, 1991, The "Locust Letter" continues to stand as one of the most pivotal documents in the entire prophetic identity of the YORWW Congregation. Its influence has not diminished; instead, it has grown in clarity, force, and prophetic weight.

According to the YORWW presentation, the "Locust Letter" still functions as:

A foundational scroll

It remains the first official declaration of the TWMC/YORWW Movement — the document that publicly announced the spiritual fall of the Watchtower Society and the rise of a new prophetic body.

A warning to Jehovah’s Witnesses

The letter continues to serve as a standing testimony against the Governing Body and the organization’s leadership, warning that Jehovah has withdrawn His favor due to corruption, doctrinal error, and misuse of authority.

A marker of the Watchtower’s fall

The Locust Letter is treated as the historical timestamp of the Watchtower’s spiritual collapse — the moment when the organization was formally declared unfit to bear Jehovah’s Great Name.

A launch point for the YORWW Congregation

It marks the birth of the TWMC [Two Witnesses Must Come] (later YORWW Congregation), the moment when sixteen former Jehovah’s Witnesses stepped forward as the nucleus of a new priesthood arrangement.

A prophetic witness that Jehovah has moved His favor

The letter stands as a legal and prophetic notice that Jehovah has shifted His attention away from the Watchtower Society and toward a new nation and priesthood — a theme later expanded in The “New Jerusalem” scrolls.

The First Stone of New Jerusalem

The "Locust Letter" is described as “the first stone” in the construction of the The “New Jerusalem" Arrangement, which is elaborated in later YORWW Congregation's writings.

Just as ancient Jerusalem’s foundation stones marked the beginning of a new divine administration, the April 12th, 1991 "Locust Letter" serves as the initial cornerstone of the modern prophetic structure that the YORWW Congregation truly represents.
