D&C LDS 126

We, Benjamin, from Torah is Eternal, and I, Steven, feel it is important to deliniate why we don’t believe that D&C LDS 126 is from YHWH through Joseph Smith. For a good idea how we think about Brigham Young please see the post King Brigham.

First we will quote D&C LDS 126, such that people know what it says and then after that we will lay out our objections to what is being presented in it.

D&C LDS 126
1 Dear and well-beloved brother, Brigham Young, verily thus saith the Lord unto you: My servant Brigham, it is no more required at your hand to leave your family as in times past, for your offering is acceptable to me. 2 I have seen your labor and toil in journeyings for my name. 3 I therefore command you to send my word abroad, and take especial care of your family from this time, henceforth and forever. Amen.

The first thing we want to address is how it is being claimed that the apostle Brigham Young is no longer required to go out and preach the gospel to the world. History, although not perfect, tells us that eleven of the original twelve apostles and the apostle Paul from the old world were murdered while proclaiming Yeshua / Jesus to the world as the title of “sent ones” entails, which is in fulfilment of a prophecy from Yeshua / Jesus in the Olivette Discourse in Matthew (JST 24:5-9) (KJV 24:4-11). There is no consensus about what happened to John the apostle of the Lamb. Which is interesting for those of the restoration because of revelations that tell us that John the apostle of the Lamb never tasted of death (see John 21:21-23, 3 Nephi (LDS 28:5-10) (RLDS 13:16-22), D&C (LDS 7) (RLDS 7) (1833 6) (1835 33) (1844 33)). If someone is not being sent out, they are no longer a “sent one” thus no longer an apostle.

Matthew (JST 24:5-9) (KJV 24:4-11) [bold is JST / Inspired Version / New Translations of the Bible]
—DAAA 5 4 And Jesus [Yeshua] answered and said unto them,
—DAAB Take heed that no man deceive you.
—DA-B 6 5 For many shall come in My [Yeshua] name, saying,
—DA-B I am Christ [the Messiah];
—DAA and shall deceive many.
—D-BA 7 9 Then shall they deliver you
—D-BB up to be afflicted,
—D-BC and shall kill you:
—D–C and ye shall be hated of all nations
—D—D for My [Yeshua] name’s sake.
—D—-E 8 10 And then shall many be offended,
—D—D and shall betray one another,
—D–C and shall hate one another.
—D-B 9 11 And many false prophets shall rise,
—DA and shall deceive many.
Matthew (JST 23:31-24:56) (KJV 23:34-24:51), Important Coming Dates

Reports and legends abound, and they are not always reliable, but it is safe to say that the apostles went far and wide as heralds of the message of the risen Christ. An early legend says they cast lots and divided up the world to determine who would go where so all could hear about Jesus. They suffered greatly for their faith and, in most cases, met violent deaths because of their bold witness and faith in Christ.

John 21:21-23
21 Peter seeing him [John] saith to Jesus [Yeshua], Lord, and what shall this man [John] do? 22 Jesus [Yeshua] saith unto him [Peter], If I [Yeshua] will that he [John] tarry till I [Yeshua] [second] come, what is that to thee [Peter]? follow thou Me [Yeshua]. 23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple [John] should not die: yet Jesus [Yeshua] said not unto him, He [John] shall not die; but, If I [Yeshua] will that he [John] tarry till I [Yeshua] [second] come, what is that to thee [John]?

3 Nephi (LDS 28:1-18) (RLDS 13:12-30)
AAA 1 And it came to pass when Jesus [Yeshua] had said these words,
AA-B He [Yeshua] spake unto His disciples,
AA–C one by one,
AA–C saying unto them:
AA-B What is it that ye desire of Me [Yeshua],
AAA after that I am gone to the Father?
A-B 2 And they all spake [nine],
A–C save it were three,
A—D saying: We desire that after we have lived unto the age of man,
A—-EA that our ministry,
A—-E-B wherein Thou [Yeshua] hast called us,
A—-EA may have an end,
A—–F that we may speedily come unto Thee [Yeshua] in Thy kingdom.
A——GA 3 And He [Yeshua] said unto them:
A——GB Blessed are ye [nine] because ye [nine] desired this thing of Me;
A——GC therefore, after that ye are seventy and two years old
A—–F ye shall come unto Me in My kingdom;
A—-E and with me ye shall find rest.
A—D 4 And when He had spoken unto them [nine],
A–C He [Yeshua] turned Himself unto the three,
A-BA and said unto them [three]:
A-BB What will ye [three] that I [Yeshua] should do unto you [three],
AA when I [Yeshua] am gone unto the Father?
-B 5 And they [three] sorrowed in their [three] hearts,
–CA for they [three] durst not speak unto Him [Yeshua] the thing which they [three] desired.
–C-B 6 And He [Yehua] said unto them [three]:
–C–C Behold, I [Yeshua] know your [three] thoughts,
–C–C and ye [three] have desired the thing which John, My [Yeshua] beloved,
–C-B who was with Me [Yeshua] in My [Yeshua] ministry,
–CA before that I [Yeshua] was lifted up by the Jews, desired of Me [Yeshua].
—DAA 7 Therefore, more blessed are ye [three], for ye [three] shall never taste of death;
—DABA but ye shall live
—DABB to behold all the doings of the Father
—DABC unto the children of men,
—DACA even until all things shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father,
—DACB when I [Yeshua] shall come in My [Yeshua] glory with the powers of heaven.
—DBA 8 And ye [three] shall never endure the pains of death;
—DBBA but when I [Yeshua] shall come in My [Yeshua] glory
—DBBB ye [three] shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye
—DBBC from mortality to immortality;
—DBC and then shall ye [three] be blessed in the kingdom of My [Yeshua] Father.
–CA 9 And again, ye [three] shall not have pain while ye [three] shall dwell in the flesh,
–C-B neither sorrow save it be for the sins of the world;
–C–C and all this will I [Yeshua] do
–C–C because of the thing which ye [three] have desired of Me [Yeshua],
–C-B for ye [three] have desired that ye [three] might bring the souls of men unto Me [Yeshua],
–CA while the world shall stand.
-BA 10 And for this cause ye [three] shall have fulness of joy;
-B-B and ye [three] shall sit down in the kingdom of My [Yeshua] Father;
-B-B yea, your [three] joy shall be full,
-BA even as the Father hath given Me [Yeshua] fulness of joy;
AAA and ye [three] shall be even as I [Yeshua] am,
AAB and I [Yeshua] am even as the Father;
AAC and the Father and I [Yeshua] are one;
A-BA 11 And the Holy Ghost [Spirit / Torah] beareth record
A-B-B of the Father [Elohim] and Me [Yeshua];
A-B–C and the Father [Elohim] giveth
A-B–C the Holy Ghost [Spirit / Torah]
A-B-B unto the children of men,
A-BA because of Me [Yeshua].
A–CAA 12 And it came to pass that when Jesus [Yeshua]
A–CAB had spoken these words,
A–C-B He [Yeshua] touched every one of them [nine]
A–C–C with His [Yeshua] finger
A–C-B save it were the three who were to tarry,
A–CA and then He [Yeshua] departed.
A—DAA 13 And behold, the heavens were opened,
A—DAB and they [three] were caught up into heaven,
A—DBA and saw and heard unspeakable things.
A—DBB 14 And it was forbidden them [three] that they [three] should utter;
A—DCA neither was it given unto them [three] power
A—DCB that they [three] could utter the things which they [three] saw and heard;
A—-EAA 15 And whether they [three] were in the body or out of the body,
A—-EAB they [three] could not tell;
A—-E-B for it did seem unto them [three] like a transfiguration of them [three],
A—-EAA that they [three] were changed from this body of flesh into an immortal state,
A—-EAB that they [three] could behold the things of God [Elohim].
A—DAA 16 But it came to pass that they [three] did again minister
A—DAB upon the face of the earth;
A—DBA nevertheless they [three] did not minister
A—DBB of the things which they [three] had heard and seen,
A—DCA because of the commandment
A—DCB which was given them in heaven.
A–CA 17 And now, whether they [three] were mortal or immortal,
A–C-B from the day of their [three] transfiguration,
A–CA I [Mormon] know not;
A-BA 18 But this much I [Mormon] know,
A-B-B according to the record which hath been given—
A-B-B they [three] did go forth upon the face of the land,
A-BA and did minister unto all the people,
AAA uniting as many to the church
AA-B as would believe in their [three] preaching;
AA–C baptizing them,
AA-B and as many as were baptized
AAA did receive the Holy Ghost [Spirit / Torah].

D&C (LDS 7) (RLDS 7) (1833 6) (1835 33) (1844 33)
AAA 1 And the Lord [YHWH] said unto me [Joseph]:
AAB John, My [YHWH] beloved,
ABA what desirest thou [John]?
ABB For if you shall ask what you [John] will,
ABC it shall be granted unto you [John].
-BA 2 And I [John] said unto Him [Yeshua]:
-BB Lord, give unto me power over death,

–CAA 3 And the Lord [Yeshua] said unto me [John]:

—D-B If I [Yeshua] will that he [John] tarry till I [second] come,
—D–C what is that to thee [Peter]?
—D—DA For he [John] desired of Me [Yeshua]
—D—DB that he [John] might bring souls unto Me [Yeshua],

—D–CABC in My kingdom.
—D–CBA 5 I [Yeshua] say unto thee, Peter,
—D–CBB this was a good desire;

—D-BB might do more,
—D-BC or a greater work yet
—DA among men than what he [John] has before done.
–CA 6 Yea, he [John] has undertaken a greater work;
–C-B therefore I [Yeshua] will make him [John]
–C–C as flaming fire [judgement]
–C–C and [even] a ministering angel [calling repentance];
–C-B he [John] shall minister
–CA for those who shall be heirs of salvation who dwell on the earth.
-BAA 7 And I [Yeshua] will make thee [Peter]
-BAB to minister for him [John]
-BBA and for thy [Peter] brother James;
-BBB and unto you three

-BCB and the keys of this ministry until I [Yeshua] [second] come.
AA 8 Verily I say unto you [Joseph],
AB ye shall both have according to your desires,
AC for ye both joy in that which ye have desired.

In addition to the histories that show that apostles from the old world preached to all the world until their deaths, modern day scripture explicitly states that apostleship is a life long calling, see 3 Nephi (LDS 28:2-3) (RLDS 13:13-15) and D&C (LDS 7:4-5) (RLDS 7) (1833 6) (1835 33) (1844 33).

3 Nephi (LDS 28:2-3) (RLDS 13:13-15)
A-B 2 And they all spake [nine],
A–C save it were three,
A—D saying: We desire that after we have lived unto the age of man,
A—-EA that our ministry,
A—-E-B wherein Thou [Yeshua] hast called us,
A—-EA may have an end,
A—–F that we may speedily come unto Thee [Yeshua] in Thy kingdom.
A——GA 3 And He [Yeshua] said unto them:
A——GB Blessed are ye [nine] because ye [nine] desired this thing of Me;
A——GC therefore, after that ye are seventy and two years old
A—–F ye shall come unto Me in My kingdom;
A—-E and with me ye shall find rest.

History and scriptures show the acceptable offering for those who have been called to the office of apostleship is to go out to the non-believers to preach the gospel of Yeshua until they die. Considering this section was supposedly reveled on 1841 Jul 09, Brigham Young did not do this. YHWH Elohim is not a respecter of persons which means YHWH Elohim does not change the rules for different people including Brigham Young and as we will establish next, having a family does not excuse you from going out as an apostle. Nor does YHWH Elohim turn to the left and the right. YHWH Elohim does require a broken heart and a contrite spirit which are Hebrew ways of stating returning to YHWH’s Elohim ways known as the law and Torah. Which when one has, one does not look to deviate from the established way which is clearly stated in YHWH’s word known as the Hebrew scriptures.

Psalm 51:17
A The sacrifices of God [Elohim] are
-B a broken spirit: a broken
-B and a contrite heart,
A O God [Elohim], thou wilt not despise.

2 Nephi (LDS 2:6-8) (RLDS 1:72-75)
A 6 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah;
-B for He is full of grace and truth.
–C 7 Behold, He [Yeshua] offereth Himself a sacrifice for sin,
—D to answer
—-E the ends of the law,
—–F unto all those
——G who have a broken heart
——G and a contrite spirit;
—–F and unto none else
—-E can the ends of the law
—D be answered.
–CA 8 Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known
–CB unto the inhabitants of the earth,
-BA that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God [Elohim],
-BB save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah,
AA who layeth down His life according to the flesh,
A-B and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit,
A-B that He may bring to pass the resurrection of the dead,
AA being the first that should rise.

3 Nephi (LDS 9:14-22) (RLDS 4:42-52)
AA 14 Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto Me
AB ye shall have eternal life.
A-B Behold, Mine arm of mercy is extended towards you,
AA and whosoever will come, him will I receive;
AB and blessed are those who come unto Me.
-BA 15 Behold, I am Jesus [Yeshua] Christ [the Messiah] the Son of God [Elohim].
-B-B I created the heavens and the earth,
-B–C and all things that in them are.
-B-B I was with the Father from the beginning.
-BA I am in the Father, and the Father in me;
-BB and in me hath the Father glorified His name.
–CA 16 I came unto My own,
–CB and My own received Me not.
—DA And the scriptures concerning My coming [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME] are fulfilled.
—D-B 17 And as many as have received Me,
—D–C to them have I given
—D—D to become the sons of God [Elohim];
—D–C and even so will I
—D-B to as many as shall believe on My name [authority],
—DAA for behold, by Me redemption cometh,
—DAB and in me is the law of Moses [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME] fulfilled.
—-EA 18 I am the light and the life of the world.
—-EB I am Alpha and Omega,
—-EC the beginning and the end.
—DA 19 And ye shall offer up unto Me no more
—D-B the shedding of blood [CARNAL COMMANDMENTS];
—D-B yea, your SACRIFICES and your BURNT OFFERINGS [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME]
—DAA shall be done away,
—DA-B for I will accept none
—DAA of your SACRIFICES and your BURNT OFFERINGS [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME].
–CAA 20 And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
–CAB And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit,
–CBA him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost,
–CB-B even as the Lamanites,
–CB-B because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion,
–CBA were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not.
-BA 21 Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world,
-BB to save the world from sin.
AA 22 Therefore, whoso repenteth and cometh unto Me as a little child,
AB him will I receive, for of such is the kingdom of God [Elohim].
A-B Behold, for such I have laid down My life [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME],
A-B and have taken it up again;
AA therefore repent, and come unto Me ye ends of the earth,
AB and be saved.

D&C (LDS 21:9) (RLDS 19) (1833 22) (1835 46) (1844 46)
AA For, behold, I [YHWH] will bless all those
AB who labor in My [YHWH] vineyard
AC with a mighty blessing,
-B and they shall believe on his [Joseph] words,
–CA which are given him [Joseph]
–CB through Me [YHWH]
–CC by the Comforter,
-B which manifesteth that Jesus [Yeshua]
AA was crucified by sinful men
AB for the sins of the world,
AC yea, for the remission of sins unto the contrite heart.

With sharing 3 Nephi (LDS 9:14-22) (RLDS 4:42-52) we want to bring out briefly how the Law of Moses, which is primarily the daily two daily lambs also known as PERFORMANCES and ORDIANCES or CARNAL COMMANDMENTS which was given as a punishment, is different than Torah which is eternal and also known as STATUTES, JUDGEMENTS and COMMANDMENTS. Punishments don’t have to be eternal, otherwise I, Steven, would have to go to hell because although I strive to keep Torah as Nephi did, I have sinned in the past and I am deserving of physical and spiritual death. But because of Yeshua’s / Jesus’ atonement, which the Law of Moses points to, I can be with Him for eternity, see Law of Moses for more.

Mosiah (LDS 13:25-33) (RLDS 8:1-12)
AA 25 And it came to pass that after Abinadi had made an end of these sayings that he said unto them:
AB Have ye taught this people that they should observe to do all these things for to keep these commandments?
-B 26 I say unto you, Nay; for if ye had, the Lord would not have caused me to come forth and to prophesy evil concerning this people.
–CA 27 And now ye have said that salvation cometh by the law of Moses [daily performances and ordinances].
–C-B I say unto you that it is EXPEDIENT that ye should keep the LAW OF MOSES [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME] AS YET [AT THIS TIME];
–C-B but I say unto you, that the time shall come when it shall NO MORE be EXPEDIENT to keep the LAW OF MOSES [DAILY PERFORMANCES AND ORDINANCES].
–CA 28 And moreover, I say unto you, that SALVATION DOES NOT COME BY THE LAW [TORAH] ALONE [Torah has a part in salvation] [Law of Moses is a dead work];
—DA and were it not for the ATONEMENT,
—DB which GOD [ELOHIM] HIMSELF SHALL MAKE [ATONEMENT] for the sins and iniquities of his people,
–CA that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding [not opposing] the LAW OF MOSES [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME].
–C-B 29 And now I say unto you that it was EXPEDIENT that there should be a LAW [OF MOSES] given to the children of Israel,
–C–CA yea, even a very STRICK LAW [OF MOSES, KEEP THEM IN REMEMBRANCE OF ELOHIM];
–C–C-B for they were a stiffnecked people,
–C–C-B quick to do iniquity,
–C–CA and SLOW TO REMEMBER THE LORD [YHWH] THEIR GOD [ELOHIM];
–C—D 30 Therefore there was a LAW [OF MOSES, TYPES OF THINGS TO COME] given them,
–C—D yea, a law [of Moses] of PERFORMANCES AND OF ORDINANCES,
–C–C a law [of Moses] which they were to observe STRICTLY from DAY TO DAY [Numbers 28:3] [DAILY],
–C-B to KEEP THEM IN REMEMBRANCE OF GOD [ELOHIM] and their duty towards him.
–CA 31 But behold, I say unto you, that all THESE THINGS [LAW OF MOSES] were TYES OF THINGS TO COME.
-BA 32 And now, did they understand the law [of Moses, TYPES OF THINGS TO COME]?
-B-B I say unto you, Nay,
-B–C they DID NOT ALL UNDERSTAND the LAW [OF MOSES, TYPES OF THINGS TO COME];
-B-B and this BECAUSE OF THE HARDNESS OF THEIR HEARTS;
-BA for they UNDERSTOOD NOT that there could not any man be SAVED EXCEPT it were through the REDEMPTION OF GOD [ELOHIM].
AA 33 For behold, did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah, and that God [Elohim] should redeem His people?
AB Yea, and even all the prophets who have prophesied ever since the world began—have they not spoken more or less concerning these things?

Exodus 29:38-42
AA 38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar;
AB two lambs of the first year DAY BY DAY continually.
-BA 39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning;
-BB and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
–CA 40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil;
–CB and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
—D 41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even,
–CA and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning,
–CB and according to the drink offering thereof,
-B for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
AA 42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord:
AB where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

Numbers 28:1-8
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them,
AA My offering,
AB and my bread for my sacrifices
AC made by fire,
AD for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
-BA 3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord [YHWH];
-B-B two lambs of the first year without spot DAY BY DAY, for a continual burnt offering.
-B-B 4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;
-BA 5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
–C 6 It is a continual burnt offering,
—D which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour,
–C a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
-BA 7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin
-BB for the one lamb:
-BA in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering.
-BB 8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even:
AA as the meat offering of the morning,
AB and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it,
AC a sacrifice made by fire,
AD of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

Alma (LDS 34:10-14) (RLDS 16:210-215)
AA 10 For it is expedient that there should be a GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE;
A-B yea, not a sacrifice of man,
A–C neither of beast [burnt offering],
A–C neither of any manner of fowl [burnt offering];
A-B for it shall not be a human sacrifice;
AA but it must be an INFINITE AND ETERNAL sacrifice.
-BA 11 Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood which will atone for the sins of another.
-B-B Now, if a man murdereth [when we sin we, we cause our own death]
-B–CA behold will our law, which is just,
-B–CB take the life of his brother?
-B–CA I say unto you, Nay.
-B–CB12 But the law requireth the life of him
-B-B who hath murdered;
-BA therefore there can be nothing which is short of an infinite atonement which will suffice for the sins of the world.
–C 13 Therefore, it is EXPEDIENT that there should be a GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE,
-BA and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be, a stop to the shedding of blood [law of Moses];
-B-B then shall the law of Moses [TYPES OF THINGS TO COME] be fulfilled;
-B–C yea, it shall be all fulfilled,
-B–C every jot and tittle [pointed to in the daily performances and ordinances],
-B-B and none shall have passed away [been omitted].
-BA 14 And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law [of Moses, daily performances and ordinances],
AA EVERY WHIT POINTING [TYPES] TO THAT GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE [OF THINGS TO COME];
A-B and that GREAT AND LAST SACRIFICE
A-B will be the SON OF GOD [ELOHIM],
AA yea, INFINITE AND ETERNAL.

The apostles and seventies did not use the fact that they had families as excuses for not performing their duty. In fact YHWH in the D&C tells Joseph Wakefield and Solomon Humphrey to perform their missionary duties with their families, meaning the families went with them and are also being missionaries in D&C (LDS 52:35-36) (RLDS 52) (1833 54) (1835 66) (1844 66). In D&C (LDS 84:103) (RLDS 32) (1835 4) (1844 4), YHWH mentions the families of those performing missions and states to send any money they receive to their families. While Thomas B Marsh was serving one of his missions, YHWH states He will bless his family while he was on his mission. This statement from YHWH to Thomas B Marsh was given to him before he was set apart as the president of the quorum of the traveling twelve apostles. This is important to bring up because, later when he became an apostle and president of quorum he received more priesthood and more understanding thus making Luke 12:48 important to remember in that when more is given, more is required, showing that having a family is no excuse for not doing your missionary duties. In fact Peter, who was married, was sent out by Yeshua / Jesus without purse or scrip [wallet]. When Yeshua asked the apostles, including the married ones, in Luke 22:35, if they were provided for, the apostles stated that they were taken care of, and this would include their families because making sure a families needs are taken care of is the responsibility of the husband and father, see 1 Timothy 5:8. After the Danites caused Thomas B Marsh to remove his name from the church, Brigham Young became the president of the quorum of the traveling twelve apostles by means contrary to the revelations in the D&C, and thus became what Thomas B Marsh and Peter were and they both were married and never shrunk from their duties because of their families. 1 Corinthians 7 with the JST / Inspired Version / New Translation of the Bible is a chiasmic letter from Paul about marriage while being missionaries, in which he states you can be a missionary and married. JST 1 Corinthians 7:29 is of particular interest because it states explicitly that when the call comes, that he who has a wife should be like he who is single. JST 1 Corinthians 7:29 “But I speak unto you who are called unto the ministry. But For this I say, brethren, the time that remaineth is but short, it remaineth that ye shall be sent forth unto the ministry. Even both they that who have wives, shall be as though they had none; for ye are called and chosen to do the Lord’s [YHWH’s] work.” Considering what JST 1 Corinthians 7:29 states which is from YHWH’s bosom (see D&C (LDS 35:20) (RLDS 34) (1833 37) (1835 11) (1844 11) and The JST / Inspired Version and Only a Part) LDS D&C 126 is not from the same source nor would it have come through the same medium.

Luke 12:48 … For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Matthew 10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

Mark 6:8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip [wallet], no bread, no money in their purse:

Luke 10:4 Carry neither purse [money], nor scrip [wallet], nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

Luke 22:35 And He [Yeshua] said unto them [apostles], When I [Yeshua[ sent you without purse [money], and scrip [wallet], and shoes, lacked ye [apostles] any thing? And they [apostles] said, Nothing.

Supposing that this section is a revelation from YHWH, Brigham Young is being told to stay home to take especial care of his family. Below is a small sampling of the horrific way that Brigham Young took care his multitude of wives and children. Not to mention with the fifty five wives that he had, he could in no way give quality time to any of them except his favorites that gave him everything he wanted. This is not a comprehensive list of all the atrocities that Brigham Young committed against his own flesh and blood.

The “new era of things” [polygamy] that Zina Huntington entered brought her a mixture of tenderness and sorrow, considerable LONESOMENESS, and several types of fulfillment.

Despite a few tender moments with her husband, Zina more often endured feelings of NEGLECT. Eight months pregnant and tending an ill son, Zina lamented “the HOURS and PANEFUL LONELINESS that I saw by DAY & BY NIGHT.”

In Jun 1854, according to Zina’s journal, Young preached a sermon in which he “GAVE HIS FAMILY QUITE A SLANT OF THEIR WEAKNESS if should call them around the family alter.” YOUNG SUSPECTED THAT INSTEAD OF PRAYING ACCORDING TO HIS DESIRES, SOME OF HIS WIVES “WOULD BE SNIVELING OR PRAYING FOR SOMETHING ELSE.”

Young theorized that plural wives – unlike first wives – could “ENDURE THE DISTANT ASSOCIATION,” but EMILY FOUND THAT DISTANCE NEARLY UNBEARABLE.

Augusta Adams, one of Young’s first plural wives, was by now THOROUGHLY DISILLUSIONED WITH HER LOT. UNHAPPY at having been “CONSTRAINED” to repeat her sealing to Young in the Nauvoo Temple, she ASKED YOUNG TO GRANT HER A DIFFERENT ETERNAL CONSORT. She still suggest Jesus Christ as her first choice, but she otherwise regularly importuned Young to allow her to be sealed to Joseph Smith for eternity. In April 1848, Young finally gave in and participated in a ceremony in which he promised “to give up Augusta Adams to Joseph Smith in the morning of the first resurrection.” [Brigham Young is making things up as he goes along]
The proxy sealing did not remove Augusta’s earthly discontents. She chafed at her relative insignificance compared to Mary Ann Angell, LOATHED YOUNG’S ATTENTION TO CERTAIN OTHER WIVES, and – probably accentuated because of the prosperity of her first husband – STRUGGLED TO ADUJUST TO TIGHT QUARTERS, POVERTY, and HARD WORK. “May God grant me a negro some day,” she wrote Young. WHEN YOUNG FAILED TO ALLAY HER CONCERNS, she wrote him scores of mournful, plaintive, witty, and acerbic letters, terming the pen her “old faithful weapon.” “I am thankful you are going to have such a delightful excursion with your Lady [Mary Ann],” she sarcastically observed in 1850.” BUT EXPECT I SHOULD BE STILL MORE THANKFUL IF YOU WERE GOING TO SOW HOLY SEED [WITH YOUNGER WIVES].” She hated Mary Ann’s appellations of “Mother Young” and “Queen.” Although at Winter quarters she had expressed fondness of Emmeline Free, she now disliked “dear Emeline[‘s]” reputation as Young’s PREFERRED “CONSORT [SEX].” According to the later recollections of Young’s daughter Susa, Young frequently took Emmeline to social gathers and “responded to her appeals readily.” Her father, Susa explained, “had perhaps the weakness of his strength and HE [BRIGHAM] COULD NOT PAY EQUAL ATTENTION TO FOURTEEN OR FIFTEEN WOMEN.”
Thus, AUGUSTA FELT NEGLECTED, FINANCIALLY, EMOTIONALLY, and SEXUALLY. Though approaching her fiftieth birthday, she was upset that Young told her she “should not have any more children,” and she suggested that a different proxy husband might expand her family. She once sent a request in writing for Young to spend the night with her, and SHE [AUGUSTA] INSISTED THAT SHE DESERVED A HUSBAND WHOM SHE COULD “PROVE … IN THE FLESH.” Like Emily Partridge, Augusta TALKED OF LEAVING THE FAMILY – “I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT SO MUCH LIKE GETTING A DIVORCE AS I NOW DO” – but stayed.
If Young ever read Augusta’s letters, he probably reacted with mixture of irritation and amusement. Augusta addressed him as “LORD BRIGHAM,” “HIS EXCELLENCY,” “MR PROXY,” and “ALIEN.” She termed herself “NAMELESS” and, more endearingly given a strong will that could match her husband’s, the “Lion of the Lord’s … Lioness.” In any event, YOUNG SOMETIMES REFUSED TO SEE HER FOR MONTHS ON END [NEGLECT]. HE [BRIGHAM] HAD NO MORE PATIENCE WITH GRUMBLING WIVES THAN WHINING PIONEERS. Moreover, his early affection for Augusta dissipated. His “feelings had become seared,” she recognized. HE [BRIGHAM] DID NOT, HOWEVER, TAKE HER DIVORCE REQUEST SERIOUSLY, and Augusta apparently made them to PROD YOUNG TO TREAT HER [AUGUSTA] BETTER. Even when Young placated her with carriage ride or requested provisions, though, he found Augusta hard to please. When Young sent her a dress, she gave it away and instead asked or “one of the plain linnen ginghams like Zina’s if you have any left if not one like Emely’s.” If Augusta would spend eternity with Joseph Smith, YOUNG PROBABLY REGARDED HIS LOSS AS A TOLERABLE SETBACK FOR HIS CELESTIAL KINGDOM.

“In the fall of 1844 after her return from Nauvoo to Boston, Mrs. Cobb said she loved Brigham Young better than she did Mr. Cobb, and, live or die, she was going to live with him at all hazards. This was in the course of a conversation in which she used extravagant language in favor of Mr. Young and against Mr. Cobb. Mrs. Cobb went out again to Nauvoo, the second time, and lived with Mr. Young, and their living together and their conduct, was the subject of conversation in the society and out of the society. The subject of conversation, to which I have alluded, was that persons had a right to live together in UNLAWFYL INTERCOUSE, and Mrs. Cobb avowed her belief in this doctrine, and said it was right.
…
“She said, I never will forsake brother Young, come life or come death. She said that the doctrine taught by Brigham Young was a glorious doctrine; for if she did not love her husband, it gave her a man she did love”
In the cross examination, Mr. Adams stated that he performed on the stage when he was a young man; that he was a merchant tailor in extensive business before he joined the Mormons; that he has, since he withdrew, performed at the National Theatre in this city, THAT JOSEPH SMITH THE FOUNDER OF MORMONISM, DID NOT TEACH THE DOCTRINE OF SPIRITUAL WIVES; THAT BRIGHAM YOUNG, IN ASSUMING TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHURCH, HAD URSURPED AUTHORITY, and that he, Mr. Adams, opposed the usurpation.

Unlike Augusta, A NUMBER OF DISCONTENTED WIVES DID SERVER THEIR TIES WITH YOUNG, including Diana Chase (before an 1849 remarriage), Mary Eliza Nelson (before an 1850 remarriage), Elizabeth Fairchild (before an 1851 remarriage), Mary Jame Bigelow (1851), Mary Ann Turley (1851) Mary Ann Clark (1851) and Eliza Babcock (1853). MOST HAD NEVER BECOME MEMBERS OF YOUNG’S HOUSEHOLD. Mary Jame Bigelow, sister of Young’s plural wife Lucy Bigelow, started with Young’s company in 1848 but then turned back when she became ill. She crossed the plains with her parents in 1850, moved into a house with Lucy, and then DIVORCED YOUNG THE NEXT YEAR. Upset after receiving a “COOL and DISTANT RESEPTION” from Young at Winter Quarters, Mary Ann Clark Powers remained in Kanesville, Iowa, with her non-Mormon husband. Though she informed Young that she had “not bin a Wife to Mr [William] P[owers]” since her temple sealing, SHE FINALLY ASKED YOUNG FOR A DIVORCE.

An archive in Wisconsin contains some 150 letters that Augusta Adams Cobb wrote to Brigham Young from 1844 to the 1860s. Augusta was Brigham’s second plural wife (of 55 total). A boston Brahmin [Hindo priest], herbalist, and cultural feminist [and a Cochranite], Augusta abandoned her wealthy first husband and six of her children to marry Brigham Young in 1843. Her letters are replete with the details of their failing relationship. Separating Brigham the prophet from Brigham the man, Augusta found the man an uncouth, lower-class hypocrite who often unfairly chastised her, played his favorite wives against her, and on occasion even whipped her. Although she bitterly complalined, like singer Patsy Cline, the more he abused her, the more she vowed to win back his heart. While they never divorced, Augusta did have Brigham seal her for eternity to Joseph Smith and later asked to be sealed to St. Paul and even Jesus Christ.
Connell O’Donovan, The Lioness of the Lord: The Letters of Augusta Adams Cobb to Her Husband Brigham Young, Sunstone

A few years ago one of my wives, when talking about wives leaving their husbands said, ‘I wish my husband’s wives would leave him, every soul of them except myself.’ That is the way they all feel, more or less, at times, both old and young.
Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, volume 9, page 195

I wish my own women to understand that what I am going to say is for them as well as others, and I want those who are here to tell their sisters, yes, all the women of this community, and then write it back to the States, and do as you please with it. I am going to give you from this time to the 6th day of October next, for reflection, that you may determine whether you wish to stay with your husbands or not, and then I am going to set every woman at liberty and say to them, Now go your way, my women with the rest, go your way. And my wives have got to do one of two things; either round up their shoulders to endure the afflictions of this world, and live their religion, or they may leave, for I will not have them about me. I will go into heaven alone, rather than have scratching and fighting around me. I will set all at liberty. ‘What, first wife too?’ Yes, I will liberate you all.
I know what my women will say; they will say, ‘You can have as many women as you please, Brigham.’ But I want to go somewhere and do something to get rid of the whiners; I do not want them to receive a part of the truth and spurn the rest out of doors.
I do not desire to keep a particle of my property, except enough to protect me from a state of nudity. And I would say, wives you are welcome to the children, only do not teach them iniquity; for if you do, I will send an Elder, or come myself, to teach them the Gospel. You teach them life and salvation, or I will send Elders to instruct them.
Sisters, I am not joking, I do not throw out my proposition to banter your feelings, to see whether you will leave your husbands, all or any of you. But I do know that there is no cessation to the everlasting whining of many of the women in this Territory; I am satisfied that this is the case. … ” ‘But,’ says one, ‘I want to have my paradise now.’ And says another, ‘I did think I should be in paradise if I was sealed to brother Brigham, and I thought I should be happy when I became his wife, or brother Heber’s. I loved you so much, that I thought I was going to have a heaven right off, right here on the spot.’
Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Volume 4, 1856, page 55-57

In Young v. Young, Ann Eliza Webb Young sued Brigham Young for divorce in 1873, claiming neglect, cruel treatment, and desertion (CHC 5:442-43). …Claiming that Young was worth $8 million and had a monthly income of $40,000, she asked for $1,000 per month pending the trial, a total of $20,000 for counsel fees, and $200,000 for her maintenance. Brigham Young denied her charges and claimed to have a worth of only $600,000 and a monthly income of $6,000. More fundamentally, he pointed out the inconsistency of granting a divorce and alimony for a marriage that was not legally recognized.
Zion in the Courts, A Legal History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1830-1900 by Firmage and Mangrum, 1988, Univ. of Ill. Press, page 249

Several civil cases involving Brigham Young came before McKean’s court, but undoubtedly the most celebrated was the attempt of Ann Eliza Webb Dee Young, the Prophet’s twenty-seventh wife, to sue for divorce. The facts of the case are well known and need not be reiterated here. Judge Emerson at first referred the case to the probate courts. After the passage of the Poland Act, it was again returned to the Third District Court where McKean heard it. Brigham Young filed a counter petition stating that, though it was unknown to him previously, Ann Eliza was not divorced at the time of the marriage, which was at any rate a ‘plural or celestial marriage’ and thus not legal. The defendant was, in addition, legally married to Mary Ann Angell.
Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Volume 1, Number 3, page 91-92, ‘Federal Authority Versus Polygamic Theocracy: James B. McKean and the Mormons 1870-1875,’ by Thomas G. Alexander

In addition to demonstrating McKean’s poor judgment in some matters, the Ann Eliza case served to show that the Mormons never bothered to define any legal status for plural wives. The only sanctions which the Church imposed were moral and religious, and anyone who chose to disregard them could do so with legal, and sometimes even religious, impunity. Brigham Young argued that the marriage could have no validity at law–that it was only an ecclesiastical affair. Yet on other occasions, Mormons argued that plural wives should have the same rights as did legal wives and they complained at the prosecution for adultery with plural wives. On occasion, as when George Q. Cannon was indicted for polygamy, they took the position that each polygamous wife was also a legal wife.

One thing we saw in the quotes above is how Brigham Young did not take care of his wives and children financially which is not taking “especial care of [his] family” D&C LDS 126:3. In addition 1 Timothy 5:8 clearly states if you don’t take care of your family you have denied the faith and are worse than an infidel. On top of this, D&C (LDS 75:28) (RLDS 75) (183587) (1844 88) states “that every man who is obliged to provide for his own family” which Brigham Young did not do as shown that he demanded that his wives work for their room and board.

Within the Young family, she taught at the family’s school and, as a midwife, helped deliver children, reflecting her husband’s expectation that his WIVES HELP SUPPORT THEMSELVES and CONTRIBUTE TO HIS HOUSEHOLD as their talents and circumstances permitted.

The proxy sealing did not remove Augusta’s earthly discontents. She chafed at her relative insignificance compared to Mary Ann Angell, LOATHED YOUNG’S ATTENTION TO CERTAIN OTHER WIVES, and – probably accentuated because of the prosperity of her first husband – STRUGGLED TO ADUJUST TO TIGHT QUARTERS, POVERTY, and HARD WORK. “May God grant me a negro some day,” she wrote Young. WHEN YOUNG FAILED TO ALLAY HER CONCERNS, she wrote him scores of mournful, plaintive, witty, and acerbic letters, terming the pen her “old faithful weapon.” “I am thankful you are going to have such a delightful excursion with your Lady [Mary Ann],” she sarcastically observed in 1850.” BUT EXPECT I SHOULD BE STILL MORE THANKFUL IF YOU WERE GOING TO SOW HOLY SEED [WITH YOUNGER WIVES].” She hated Mary Ann’s appellations of “Mother Young” and “Queen.” Although at Winter quarters she had expressed fondness of Emmeline Free, she now disliked “dear Emeline[‘s]” reputation as Young’s PREFERRED “CONSORT [SEX].” According to the later recollections of Young’s daughter Susa, Young frequently took Emmeline to social gathers and “responded to her appeals readily.” Her father, Susa explained, “had perhaps the weakness of his strength and HE [BRIGHAM] COULD NOT PAY EQUAL ATTENTION TO FOURTEEN OR FIFTEEN WOMEN.”

1 Timothy 5:8
AA But if any provide not for his own [family],
AB and specially for those of his own house [family],
BA he hath denied the faith,
BB and is worse than an infidel.

D&C (LDS 75:28) (RLDS 75) (183587) (1844 88) And again, verily I [YHWH] say unto you, that every man who is obliged to provide for his own family, let him provide, and he shall in nowise lose his crown; and let him labor in the church.

Another way that Brigham Young was not taking “especial care of [his] family” D&C LDS 126:3, was that he did not teach his sons correct principles as fathers should. One example is how his son B Morris Young was a cross dresser and this was no secret. As he did it for entertainment while boasting of his leadership position in the LDS / Brighamite church. Sadly this same B Morris Young was a key figure in starting the LDS / Brighamite church Young Mens program. If you ask us, a drag queen is not someone who should have anything to do with young impressionable minds, not to mention helping form the guiding principles of an orginazation to teach young impressionable minds.

Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

Historical documents and accounts detail Young cross dressing strictly for public entertainment, but his high profile status as the son of the prophet, and leader in the general leadership of the church, later cleared a path for cross-dressing entertainers who appeared in Utah, some of whom were LGBT.
Brigham Morris Young or Madam Pattirini

Brigham Morris Young (January 18, 1854–February 20, 1931 (aged 77)) was one of the founders of the Young Men’s Mutual Improvement Association (YMMIA), the predecessor to the Young Men program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Shortly after returning to Utah, Young began publicly performing as a cross-dressing singer under the pseudonym Madam Pattirini. Young performed as Pattirini in north and central Utah venues from 1885 to the 1900s.

In the court case with Henry Cobb, his wife Augusta Adams Cobb, and Brigham Young; George J Adams stated in court that Joseph Smith did not teach polygamy but it was Brigham Young who had started that damnable doctrine. Another point condemning Brigham Young, is how he was having sex with married women who were not his wife, namely in this case, because there were other cases, was Augusta Adams Cobb who was still married to Henry Cobb.

“In the fall of 1844 after her return from Nauvoo to Boston, Mrs. Cobb said she loved Brigham Young better than she did Mr. Cobb, and, live or die, she was going to live with him at all hazards. This was in the course of a conversation in which she used extravagant language in favor of Mr. Young and against Mr. Cobb. Mrs. Cobb went out again to Nauvoo, the second time, and lived with Mr. Young, and their living together and their conduct, was the subject of conversation in the society and out of the society. The subject of conversation, to which I have alluded, was that persons had a right to live together in UNLAWFYL INTERCOUSE, and Mrs. Cobb avowed her belief in this doctrine, and said it was right.
…
“She said, I never will forsake brother Young, come life or come death. She said that the doctrine taught by Brigham Young was a glorious doctrine; for if she did not love her husband, it gave her a man she did love”
In the cross examination, Mr. Adams stated that he performed on the stage when he was a young man; that he was a merchant tailor in extensive business before he joined the Mormons; that he has, since he withdrew, performed at the National Theatre in this city, THAT JOSEPH SMITH THE FOUNDER OF MORMONISM, DID NOT TEACH THE DOCTRINE OF SPIRITUAL WIVES; THAT BRIGHAM YOUNG, IN ASSUMING TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHURCH, HAD URSURPED AUTHORITY, and that he, Mr. Adams, opposed the usurpation.

When one enters into covenant with YHWH our Elohim. They promise to keep all of His commandments and he promises to make them Kings and priests unto Himself. Kings are not to multiply wives unto themselves as Brigham Young did.

Jeremiah 1:10 See, I [YHWH] have this day set thee [Jeremiah] over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal [king] priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Revelation (JST 1:6) (KJV 1:5-6) And unto him who loved us, be glory; who washed us from our sins in His [Yeshua] own blood, and hath made us KINGS and priests unto God [Elohim], his Father. To Him [Yeshua] be glory and dominion, forever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God [Elohim] KINGS and priests: and we shall REIGN [DUTY OF A KING] on the earth.

JST Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy are they who have part in the first resurrection; on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God [Elohim] and of Christ [the Messiah], and shall REIGN [DUTY OF A KING] with Him [YHWH] a thousand years.

Job 36:7 He [YHWH] withdraweth not His [YHWH] eyes from the righteous: but with KINGS are they on the throne; yea, He [YHWH] doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

The Book of Mormon only condemns polygamy, including Jacob (LDS 2:30) (RLDS 2:39), which we hope this mirrored chiasmus will make evident that every time THING(S) is used it is refering back to “MANY WIVES and CONCUBINES, which THING was ABOMINABLE” Jacob (LDS 2:24) (RLDS 2:33). Torah teaches that polygamy should not be practiced, when a Hebrew idiom is translated correctly regarding polygamy as it is everywhere else in the Bible. Interestingly enough, Jacob (LDS 2:23-35) (RLDS 2:31-47) is echoing the teachings of Torah regarding polygamy including not specifying a punishment that human judges are to give, but both are clear that YHWH Elohim can and WILL give a punishment for it, if not repented of. 1835 D&C 101 is also repeating Torah teachings on this subject, see Marriage.

AA 28 For I, the Lord [YHWH] God [Elohim], delight in the CHASTITY [purity before marriage and after] of women.

—D 32 And I will NOT SUFFER [endure], saith the LORD [YHWH] OF HOSTS, that the CRIES of the fair DAUGHTERS of this PEOPLE, which I have led out of the land of JERUSALEM,

AA 35 Behold, ye have done GREATER INIQUITIES than the Lamanites, our brethren.
A-B Ye have BROKEN the HEARTS of your tender WIVES, and LOST the CONFIDENCE of your CHILDREN,

A-B and the SOBBINGS of THEIR HEARTS ascend up to God [Elohim] AGAINST YOU.
AA And because of the STRICTNESS of the WORD OF GOD [ELOHIM], which COMETH DOWN AGAINST YOU, many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds.

While Joseph Smith was working on the JST / Inspired Version / New Translation of the Bible, he was directed to retranslate the following verses, by YHWH Elohim, which corrected these passages from possibly allowing polygamy to being anti-polygamy.

JST 2 Samuel 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD [YHWH]. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD [YHWH] also hath not put away thy sin that thou shalt not die.

JST 1 Kings 3:14
A And if thou [Solomon] wilt walk in My [YHWH] ways
-BA to keep My [YHWH] statutes,
-BB and My [YHWH] commandments,
–C then I [YHWH] will lengthen thy [Solomon] days,
-B and thou [Solomon] shalt not walk in unrighteousness,
A as did thy [Solomon] father David.

JST 1 Kings 11:4-6
AA 4 For it came to pass,
AB when Solomon was old,
-B his wives turned away his heart after other gods;
–C and his heart was not perfect with the LORD [YHWH] his God [Elohim],
—D and it became as the heart of David his father.
—DA 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
—DB and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
–C 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD [YHWH],
-B as David his father,
A and went not fully after the LORD [YHWH].

JST 1 Kings 15:5
A Because David did right in the eyes of the LORD [YHWH],
-B and turned not aside from all that He [YHWH] commanded him,
–C to sin against the Lord [YHWH];
—D but repented of the evil
–C all the days of his life,
-B save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite,
A wherein the Lord [YHWH] cursed him.

Scriptures show that David repented of polygamy and all his other sins except the murder of Uriah the Hittite. There is no way to repent of murder. The reason David was not put to death for this sin as required by YHWH’s Torah is because there were NOT two or three witnesses as required to establish guilt as stated in Torah. David’s repentant heart is expressed all over the Psalms and indicates a change of heart. Although David repented of his sins, he still had to deal with the consequences of them except YHWH’s wrath because YHWH forgave David and thus no eternal consequences.

BSB 2 Samuel 20:3
AA When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem,
AB he took the ten concubines
-BA he had left to care for the palace,
-BB and he placed them in a house under guard.
-BA He provided for them,
-BB but he no longer slept with them.
AA They were confined until the day of their death,
AB living as widows.

KJV 1 Kings 1:1-4
A 1 Now king David was old and stricken in years;
-BA and they covered him with clothes,
-BB but he gat no heat.
–CAA 2 Wherefore his servants said unto him,
–CAB Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin:
–C-B and let her stand before the king,
–C–C and let her cherish him,
–C–C and let her lie in thy bosom,
–C-B that my lord the king may get heat.
–CA 3 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel,

–CA 4 And the damsel was very fair,

JST 1 Kings 15:5
A Because David did right in the eyes of the LORD [YHWH],
-B and turned not aside from all that He [YHWH] commanded him,
–C to sin against the Lord [YHWH];
—D but repented of the evil
–C all the days of his life,
-B save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite,
A wherein the Lord [YHWH] cursed him.

We have already shown how poorly Brigham Young did at taking “especial care of [his] family” D&C LDS 126:3 during his mortal life. Such a man is worse than an infidel. The word “family” includes wives and children, if the statement was only about wives it would have said wives. The reason why this is imporant is because a good father should not be taking care of his children forever because he should be teaching them to be self-sufficent and not relying upon him forever. Those who are ressurected with Celestial glory will receive everything that the Father has, therefore they will not need to be taken care of, see Kingdom of Heaven.

D&C LDS 126:3 … take especial care of your family [wife and children] from this time, henceforth and forever. Amen.

1 Timothy 5:8
AA But if any provide not for his own [family],
AB and specially for those of his own house [family],
BA he hath denied the faith,
BB and is worse than an infidel.

In the start we mentioned how the calling of apostleship is a life time calling, the only exception in the scriptures is Judas because of his transgressions. Is this section stating Brigham Young is a sinner and thus was released from being an apostle aka a sent one?

3 Nephi (LDS 28:2-3) (RLDS 13:13-15)
A-B 2 And they all spake [nine],
A–C save it were three,
A—D saying: We desire that after we have lived unto the age of man,
A—-EA that our ministry,
A—-E-B wherein Thou [Yeshua] hast called us,
A—-EA may have an end,
A—–F that we may speedily come unto Thee [Yeshua] in Thy kingdom.
A——GA 3 And He [Yeshua] said unto them:
A——GB Blessed are ye [nine] because ye [nine] desired this thing of Me;
A——GC therefore, after that ye are seventy and two years old
A—–F ye shall come unto Me in My kingdom;
A—-E and with me ye shall find rest.

D&C (LDS 7:4-5) (RLDS 7) (1833 6) (1835 33) (1844 33)
—DA 4 And for this cause the Lord [Yeshua] said unto Peter:
—D-B If I [Yeshua] will that he [John] tarry till I [second] come,
—D–C what is that to thee [Peter]?
—D—DA For he [John] desired of Me [Yeshua]
—D—DB that he [John] might bring souls unto Me [Yeshua],
—D–CAA but thou [Peter]
—D–CABA desiredst that thou [Peter]
—D–CABB mightest speedily come unto Me [Yeshua]
—D–CABC in My kingdom.
—D–CBA 5 I [Yeshua] say unto thee, Peter,
—D–CBB this was a good desire;

With all the horrible things that Brigham Young has done related to this section, we’re not sorry to say there is no way that YHWH Elohim or Joseph Smith would say that Brigham Young was “Well-beloved”. In fact below are tons of statements how people heard Joseph Smith saying the exact opposite. In addition Joseph Smith’s Last Dream is a prophecy which Brigham Young is in and not in a favorable light, which I expound in Joseph Smith’s Last Dream.

Sister Emma (widow of the Martyr) told me that she remembered Joseph having said … “I would pity the people that should follow Brigham as a leader … Because he would lead them to hell.”
Emma Smith’s Interview With Mark Forscutt, Mark Forscutt’s Diary, pages 81-82

One other point I wish to notice in the conversation that took place while I was eating at your father’s table, and that was, as the conversation turned upon Brigham Young, your father remarked that with regard to the charge brought against those brethren, that he expected that he would have trouble with Brigham Young, especially, and added that “should the time ever come that this man B. Young should lead the Church that he would lead it to hell.” And these words I remember as plainly as though they were spoken but yesterday; as at this time I had not known that there could have been a charge of fault brought against the man. My association with this man Brigham Young for near three years previous, had been very limited, in consequence of our different localities and fields of labor.

Joseph Thorn, a resident of San Bernardino, California, being duly sworn, deposes and says: I was personally acquainted with Brigham Young, late President of the Utah Mormon Church, and knew him when both he and I were living in Nauvoo, Illinois; and I heard Joseph Smith, Jr., at a public meeting in a grove east of the Temple in Nauvoo, when he had been reproving said Brigham Young for taking and using for his own private purposes church moneys without authority, say of him, “If Brigham Young ever leads this church he will lead it to hell.” This he said with great emphasis.

To Whom it may Concern: Know ye that I, David Dickson, now residing at Riverside, San Bernardino county, California, was personally present at a public meeting in Nauvoo, Illinois, before the building of the Temple; and there and then saw and heard the Prophet Joseph Smith, while preaching, raise his hand (pointing to Brigham Young who was in the stand with him), saying; “Talk about leading this church; here is Bro. Brigham, if he ever leads this church, he will lead it to hell.” There were more than a thousand people present at the time; several of whom I, David Dickson, know are now living and heard him say it.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed my official seal, at my office in the county of San Bernardino, California, on this 29th day of December, 1883, W. W SMITH, Notary Public.

Bro. Joseph Smith:—In the summer of 1843, one day when your father and William Clayton went into the country to transact some church business, after their return Bro Clayton came to the office (Bro. Whitehead was then the Seer’s private secretary. Ed. [W. W. Blair] ) about one o’clock p. m. Father Cutler and I were in the office, and he said, “Well; brethren, I have heard something today a little strange.” Bro. Cutler asked him if he was going to tell us what it was; he said, “Yes, I am; and I hope that you will make a note of it.” He said. “After we had finished our business, we started for home, and had traveled but a very short distance when Joseph stopped talking and was very much absorbed in thought. He never spoke till we were going down the Temple hill. He then uttered this language aloud; ‘If Brigham Young ever leads this people he will lead them to the devil.’ He never spoke another word. When we got to my house I got out of the buggy and Joseph drove on.”
James Whitehead, City of Alton, Illinois, March 6th, 1884

Mrs. Huntington says: “While living in Nauvoo, I lived three years in Joseph Smith’s family; was well acquainted with church affairs there; and several times heard the Prophet Joseph Smith say, ‘If ever Brigham Young leads this church he will lead it to hell.”
Catherine Huntington, San Bernardino, California, December 31st, 1883

I lived in Nauvoo from the first of its settlement, and was well acquainted with Joseph Smith and family. I well remember the day Joseph prophesied, “If ever Brigham Young leads the church he will lead it to hell.” I believe Joseph was a true prophet of God.

Mrs. Mary Ralph being duly sworn, deposes and says: I lived in Nauvoo, Illinois, close to the house of Joseph Smith, just across the road, sometime. I also was present at a public meeting and heard the Prophet Joseph Smith say while preaching, “Here is Bro. Brigham; if he ever leads this church, he will lead it to hell;” and I believe he was a true prophet of God. I was well acquainted with the two Partridge girls and the two Walker girls and their two brothers William and Lorin Walker, they were orphans, and all lived in the family of Joseph Smith, but I never knew they were any of them his wives; but I saw Susy Walker in 1847 and she had a young baby in her arms, she told me she had been sealed to Joseph for eternity and to Heber C. Kimball for time, and Bro. Heber was acting proxy for Bro. Joseph. Dianthy [Diantha] Farr, daughter of Aaron Farr, told me she was sealed in the same way and Win. Clayton was acting proxy for Bro. Joseph with her. The first I ever heard of the proxy and sealing business was in 1846. Bathsheba Smith, wife of Geo. A., told me of it then.

To Whom this may Concern:—This is to certify that I, S. L. Crain, was personally acquainted with Joseph Smith from about 1840 to 1844, and that I heard him say to and of Brigham Young, whom I also knew, that if he (Brigham Young) was left to lead the church, the pride of his heart would lead them to hell. This was said at a conference of the Church, in Nauvoo, where there was a large assemblage of the people, and probably in the spring of 1843—possibly 1842.

Did Joseph say anything about the church being led away into this terrible condition? He did, and I heard him. One Sunday afternoon after partaking of the sacrament, Joseph got up and spoke and said, “Brothers and sisters, I am going to warn you to day of things to come. Do not let these things overthrow you, but be faithful and cleanse yourselves from filthiness and everything corrupt. Beware of all kinds of iniquity, for it is in high places.” He then turned round to Parley Pratt, and pointing to him said, Brothers and sisters, if that brother knew what I know, he would turn around and want my life.” The Twelve did not stand by Joseph…. They did not do as they were instructed by that choice seer. He was the man to whom they should have hearkened. He did instruct them…. He also told them, that if they did not cease from their sins God would reject that people; “but,” said he, “God will raise up another people that will keep his commands, and either I or one of my posterity shall be the president and prophet of that people, and he shall be their teacher.” He knew Brigham Young or John Taylor did not have this authority. They were not called to this work, and Joseph was not afraid to lift up his voice and tell them so.
