Welcome to Part 2 with Dr. Keith Erickson, Doctrine and Covenants 135 to 136.

Keith, we now move to Section 136, which is three years, almost three years later, two and a half years later.

John, you might have to correct me here, but I think this is

only one of two sections of the doctrine covenants that don't come through Joseph Smith.

And it's interesting, too, how many that came as a result of the answer to a question. Going

through the JST, for example, there's one that's kind of a funny thing

happened on the way to buy wine from my enemies for the sacrament when an angel shows up. And

then now here we have John Taylor and now Brigham Young. So, boy, as we close up here,

I can't stop thinking about what Keith said.

We're going to include this in the Doctrine and Covenants, and there will be more.

Yeah.

This work is going to go on.

Yeah.

So tell us about Brigham Young.

Keith, I don't know if all of our listeners know a lot about Brigham Young.

We've talked about Joseph Smith all year.

Brigham Young is one of the significant figures in our history. He is an early convert.

He's a couple years in. He's not one who's at the first meeting or right away. But a couple

years in, he joins the church and he develops. One of the things he does as part of his

conversion is he wants to meet Joseph. He wants to meet this prophet and shake his hand and talk with

him. And so he does travel to Kirtland and meet Joseph there. And that becomes part of a witness.

Brigham is kind of outside of the inner circle.
