He never explained this kind of thing. He was just so enamored with "life" and "growth" he kept pushing it without tying the loose ends together.
Sorry, but there are a lot of problems with Lee's teaching on this subject. I would not suggest anyone just take it carte blanche.

Igzy,
Witness Lee addressed the above scenario
in blue in the teaching of the thief on the cross contrasting the thief's request (the Kingdom) with His promise (Paradise).
