I don't know if there's anybody else that could have done what Brigham Young did. Brigham Young will be called a modern-day Moses because of what's about to happen here, and the Lord is framing it here, no accident. It's a story where an exodus is used to forge a people, an important thing for us to keep in remembrance, because we all benefited from what they did. A lot of us can relate to this, right? It's part of our heritage, yeah.

The suffering, the sacrifice, and I'll say the sanctification,

lingers forever in their collective memory.

And these sufferings do for us what the Exodus did for the ancient Israelites.

They forge us into a people.

If you don't open your heart so that the spirit of God can enter your hearts and teach you

the right way, you are a ruined people and will be destroyed.

Oh.

Hello again, Scott.

Hi, Casey.

Welcome back.

We're hitting nothing but milestones lately, but this is another milestone.

First, revelation in the doctrine and covenants that is not received by Joseph Smith. This one is a

Brigham Young Revelation. Section 136, the word and will of the Lord to the camp of Israel.

So that sounds like they're not Navu anymore. This is not even in the United States, is it?

They're not even in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. They are in Indian territory. What is current day, Nebraska and Iowa, they're on the border of those two, on the banks

of the Mississippi River, or sorry, banks of the Missouri River.

So if you caught us in our last episode, we just talked about Section 135, which was the

martyrdom of the prophet Joseph Smith, turned the page and suddenly the saints

are outside the United States. They're in a place called Winter Quarters. They call it that.

Lots of stuff has happened between those two points. We've had a succession crisis in there where

after the prophet was martyred, lots of questions about who now should lead the church.
