Finally, his counsels, his warnings, his doctrines and promises
received the most direct approval by the voice of God Himself,
demonstrating that his teachings had all along been inspired. The
approval above referred to is contained in the following revelation:
REVELATION GIVEN THROUGH PRESIDENT JOHN TAYLOR
AT SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TERRITORY,
October 13TH, 1882.
Thus saith the Lord to the Twelve, and to the priesthood and people
of my Church: Let my servants George Teasdale and Heber J. Grant
be appointed to fill the vacancies in the Twelve, that you may be
fully organized and prepared for the labors devolving upon you, for
you have a great work to perform; and then proceed to fill up the
presiding quorum of Seventies, and assist in organizing that body
of my priesthood who are your co-laborers in the ministry. You may
appoint Seymour B. Young to fill up the vacancy in the presiding quorum
of Seventies, if he will conform to my law; for it is not meet that
men who will not abide my law shall preside over my priesthood; and
then proceed forthwith and call to your aid any assistance that you
may require from among the Seventies to assist you in your labors in
introducing and maintaining the gospel among the Lamanites throughout
the land. And then let High Priests be selected, under the direction of
the First Presidency, to preside over the various organizations that
shall exist among this people; that those who receive the gospel may
be taught in the doctrines of my church and in the ordinances and laws
thereof, and also in the things pertaining to my Zion and my kingdom,
saith the Lord, that they may be one with you in my Church and my
kingdom.
Let the Presidency of my Church be one in all things; and let the
Twelve also be one in all things; and let them all be one with me as I
am one with the Father.
And let the High Priests organize themselves, and purify themselves,
and prepare themselves for this labor, and for all other labors that
they may be called upon to fulfill.
