After Joanna Southcott's death, Turner was looked upon by many as the new leader. Unfortunately, it seems that he was quite a 'charmer', and was carried away with worldly glory. For example, he proclaimed to his followers a date on which he believed the world would end, but it did not! He may of course have been alluding to some related spiritual happening.

Was called, without a knowledge of what had been before, and commanded to establish a separate organisation. Many saw in his teachings of obedience to the commandments the completed story of the Israel people, who would be Christians and who would seek for the redemption of their bodies. He constantly exhorted the people not to follow him, but the Spirit, and as a result of his physical appearance and poor manners of presentation, the committees were not overcome by his personal charisma to any large degree. John Wroe explained that if he were taken away there would be no more human prophets to proclaim Israel's Ingathering. The manner of the Covenant had been established, and now the Spirit of God was to work.

Christ is the Mediator of the New Covenant (see Hebrews 12:23,24). He exhorted that through love we should be obedient to God's commandments (see John 14:15).

The Power of the Spiritual Mother will finish the work of perfection in preparing a people for the Lord (see John 14:16,17). This power from God is referred to in Galatians 4:26 as "Jerusalem..... Above, the Mother of us all". Israel are not to be taken out of the world, but have the evil removed from them. These two spirits make this possible (see John 17:9,15).
