But out of respect or reverence to the name of the Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they, the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or the Melchizedek Priesthood. 107:4
Trivia: In Section 41, God commanded the church to build a house for someone. Who was that person?
79:1-4 1 Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that my servant Jared Carter should go again into the eastern countries, from place to place, and from city to city, in the power of the ordination wherewith he has been ordained, proclaiming glad tidings of great joy, even the everlasting gospel.
Jared Carter should go again into the eastern countries, from place to place.
2 And I will send upon him the Comforter, which shall teach him the truth and the way whither he shall go;
The Comforter will tell him where to go.
3 And inasmuch as he is faithful, I will crown him again with sheaves.
If he's faithful, I'll crown him with sheaves.
4 Wherefore, let your heart be glad, my servant Jared Carter, and fear not, saith your Lord, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
Amen.
