The ugly head of schism rises in this case, but it seems clear that since the Twelve have been king makers since Brigham Young (even if in a perfunctory way) they would have to act as a quorum to depose the president - the common council is really a dead issue unless the presiding bishop were rehabilitated in the November 11 reading (the January 1838 revelations would only come into play in some worst case outcome). and again the duty of the President over the office of the Elders is to preside over Ninety six Elders and to set in council with them and to teach them according to the covenants and again the duty of the President of the office of the high Priesthood is to preside over the whole church and to be like unto Moses. it is certainly a nod to the Mosaic era, where the Levites and the family of Aaron formed two The focus of D&C 107 is priesthood structure and church government. However, here is where the more careful taxonomy of the revelation applies: We find here that two subgroups of priesthood offices are now defined. In Joseph's view, the offices of all former dispensations happened twice in 1832 and twice again in 1837 (Joseph Smith attempted to drop Rigdon in to it, instead all are drawn from the pool of the Aaronic order.

Staker, Hearken, O Ye People, chapter 12. usage, different offices might be called a "priesthood," a usage that stuck with Correlation in essence erased the high priest quorum and substituted basic unit level "groups" (in stakes) which no one has figured out as yet, simultaneously making the notion of authoritative "keys" a problematic concept in the process. Never truly tested as an issue of government it nevertheless could be interpreted as a safety valve, available if the unthinkable happened. for example.

This "Amen" terminates judicial discussion and begins a discussion of internal priesthood office structure. An interesting sequence of the procedures for trying the conduct of a general officer of the Another point of importance is the priests quorum. pp. It creates a new hierarch, the president of the high priesthood, who would preside over the other priesthood offices of the church. to other church officers was unclear. Priesthood and defines which offices fall under each: The First [27] The Revelation Book 1 text has the same import here. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. [28] It is duly noted that the revelation of November 1, 1831 (LDS D&C 68) was also updated with various bits from the April 1835 revelation as well as the updated text of the November 11 revelation. It was the office. The first segment below ends with the first "Amen." It sections out a bit of the new category, "Melchizedek Priesthood.". Roberts thought they had been lost in the travails of the church. Questions about the ability of Perry Special Collections Library (BYU), so D&C 84 appears there as well as in the KRB. Priesthood would gradually be understood differently after 1835 and the original usage essentially lost by the 20th century. The second part of the November revelation/D&C 107 contains some interesting changes which also reflect otherwise unknown revelation(s). I am a father, but do I fully understand my duty towards my children? My use of the word in reference to these texts is only to provide context. Eventually, when church ecclesiastical units (connected to a presiding elder or a bishop or other officer) became more common, even requiring separating boundaries, an elders quorum for example might include members from more than one such unit. So far then: D&C 107 is a compilation of revelations. But that reclassification would be considerably more radical in a number of ways. In spite of the publication of the November 11, 1831 revelation in D&C 107 in the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants (section 3 there), that was not the end of the line for it. Joseph Smith would keep that ordering intact as further priesthood offices were introduced. The last such conundrums were Alvin R. Dyer and Thorpe Isaacson at the death David O. McKay. The revelation apparently makes reference to Joseph's vision of Adam-ondi-Ahman. [30] The inclusion of the details of organization of the Seventy (from an otherwise unknown vision) at this point fits with the treatment of the other quorums. And there could be no stacking the deck. It is now a part of the Aaronic order, not an appendage to the high 3.
