Is consecration the same thing as communism?

I think the principles of consecration are still alive and well in the church.

We are covenanting right now. I will covenant to consecrate my time, my talents, my property,

to the building up of God's kingdom on earth. And that's been in place ever since Section 42.

We have a message of warning, but we also have a message of hope towards people that better things are coming, that they're on the way for us.

The message that's coming through God's anointed servant, the one appointed, is a consistent message of preparation for the second coming of Jesus. We're going to focus on the Word of God, and that is going to be the foundation of what we teach.

What the Lord's doing is kind of reconstituting both some of the laws from Mount Sinai with Sermon on the Mount,

but then giving them a Latter-day Veneer, if you will, a law specifically calculated for the members of the church in the latter days.

It's a little old and it's a little new, but it's bringing together kind of the best parts of the Old Testament and New Testament for a new dispensation.

We're hitting the doctrine and covenants and sort of the entering of a new era.

Today represents a shift from the New York,

Pennsylvania era now to Ohio. Okay, see, this is a big deal. And I think you pointed out last week

that Joseph Smith spends more time in Ohio as a prophet than anywhere else. That's correct. And there

are more revelations in the Doctrine Convents received in Ohio than any other place as well. We're talking just about everything

from Section 41, which we're starting on today, to like Section 112, are received in around

Ohio, Missouri, this period of church history. So it's a very fruitful period

for the church. And Joseph Smith hits the ground running when he gets to Ohio. He receives some of

the most important revelations in the entire book. Yeah, we ended last week with Joseph and Emma

heading out at the end of January on a sleigh with Emma six months pregnant, headed toward

the Ohio because sections 37 and 38

commanded the Saints in New York to migrate. So Joseph and Emma don't skip a beat and as soon as they

arrive there, like you said, they hit the ground running. We're getting some really important sections
