The next characteristic to be noted is the largeness of range in this revelation so characteristic of all the Prophet's revelations. His main inquiry was why God justified the ancient patriarchs in having many wives. The answer went far beyond the inquiry, and there was given to the Prophet a new marriage law, so far transcending the conceptions of men concerning marriage, as the thoughts of God transcend the thoughts of men on all subjects. The marriage covenant must be an eternal one, not marriage "until death does you part." The marriage relation will exist in heaven. Pro-creation within the marriage covenant of man is to be an eternal, creative power. It shall people the increasing heavens as it has the multiplying worlds with offspring of the Sons of God. It is to be of the things that shall not pass away, but a means of perpetuating the lives and all their purifying, and uplifting relationships. And the power to establish these relationships is in the Priesthood of God, the keys of which were restored through Joseph Smith. {XXXVIII}_4. The Evidence of Identical Phraseology in This and Other Revelations_. The recurrence and peculiar use of certain phrases to be found in both this revelation on Marriage and the other revelations given out by Joseph Smith, establish clearly the authorship to be the same. Such, for example, as the peculiar use of "_mine_" instead of "my." In the revelation on marriage we have this: "Behold! _mine_ house is a house of order" (v. 8); "If a man be called of my Father, * * * by _mine_ own voice," etc., (v. 59). "Through the medium of _mine_ anointed, whom I have appointed," etc., (v. 7); and are sealed * * * according to _mine_ appointment (v. 26); and let _mine_ handmaid Emma Smith, (v. 54); "verily I say, let _mine_ handmaid forgive my servant Joseph," etc., (v. 56).
