The phrase is knowing your incompetency as a historian.

Indeed, sir, we never supposed you capable of writing a history.

Ouch. However, in recent years, John's reputation as a historian has started to be rehabilitated.

Okay? Here's the reason why. John might not have been great at writing history, but he's good at collecting history.

He starts taking key documents

and doing minutes at church meetings and writing down things. And that is incredibly valuable. Sometimes

being a good historian, it's just not throwing stuff away, right? Putting it in a safe place,

cataloging it, taking minutes in your meetings. And John is great at that. We owe a huge debt of gratitude for having

the doctrine and covenants the way we do.

Hey, Casey. Hey Scott. How we doing? Great. Here we are part two of this week. We had the

gift of Gab. Is that a gift of the spirit? We spoke at length about section 46 and so we wanted

to break up this week's study into two videos. And so this is part two of this week's come follow me, sections 46. And so we wanted to break up this week's study into two videos. And so this is

part two of this week's come follow me, sections 47 and 48. These are two short revelations,

but one of them is near and dear to my heart because it features someone that I've really

come to love over the last couple years, which is my guy, John Whitmer. I love John Whitmer. He doesn't end up

in the best place with the church. He leaves the church and never comes back. But let's get

into it. Let me give you some context. I went on this journey where I found out what a wonderful

person John Whitmer was. So section 47 is a revelation directed to John Whitmer.

So what brought this about?

In April 1829, Joseph Smith gets a revelation calling Oliver Cowdery to write for my servant

Joseph.

This doctrine, Kevin, is 9-4.
