Another section of the Joseph Smith Papers

This week, I'm supposed to write about the minutes recorded in Revelation Book 2, dealing with the setting up of a quorum of high priests, and how they were to be run. The same minutes are recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants, so again I'm stuck in the hard spot of trying to find extra meaning in something already recorded in a very similar form.

I guess the only thing I'm going to remark on this time is how God is a God of order. Those who run his church aren't arbitrary. Joseph Smith was not a supreme ruler who ruled by whim. He set up a system that could run by itself, and that even the rest of the world could see was logically set up. Even the order of speaking was chosen before hand. This is how God works.
