Lord spoke to and commanded his servants what
to do for the deliverance of that people; and if he called upon a man
who had so many wives and children, he did not consider that that man
was a criminal and unworthy of receiving communication from him, but
on the contrary, it is clear that the Lord considered him the most
worthy man in all Israel, and on that account he sent his angel to
him. And this noted polygamist, of all the thousands of Israel was
entrusted with the mission of delivering that people from their
enemies. God wrought special miracles by his hand in order to
accomplish this great work, though he was a polygamist.

God himself came from his father's glory to dwell here on the earth in
the flesh, and began to teach by the power of the Holy Ghost, the
things of his Father, that during the three and a half years of his
ministry among the people, they, of course, could say, “Now we do not
need any more revelation, we have enough; the Son of God, of whom our
law, its ordinances and sacrifices were typical, has at last come and
has offered himself on the cross, and having finished the work given
him to do, is there any more need for new revelation?” The conduct of
the Apostles is the best answer that can be given to this, for we find
them, like all their predecessors, from the days of Adam
