1 Hearken, my servant Peter, and listen to the words of Jesus Christ, your Lord and your Redeemer.
in whatsoever house ye enter, and they receive you not, ye shall depart speedily from that house, and shake off the dust of your feet as a testimony against them. 75:20
Trivia: Three years before his death, Adam gave his last blessing. Where did that occur?
Revelation through Joseph Smith to Peter Whitmer, Fayette, New York, June 1929
16:1-61 Hearken, my servant Peter, and listen to the words of Jesus Christ, your Lord and your Redeemer.
Listen, Peter, to the words of Jesus. [1]
2 For behold, I speak unto you with sharpness and with power, for mine arm is over all the earth.
My arm is all over the earth.
3 And I will tell you that which no man knoweth save me and thee alone -
4 For many times you have desired of me to know that which would be of the most worth unto you.
5 Behold, blessed are you for this thing, and for speaking my words which I have given unto you according to my commandments.
I'll tell you things that no one knows
except for me and you. [2]
6 And now, behold, I say unto you, that the thing which will be of the most worth unto you will be to declare repentance unto this people, that you may bring souls unto me, that you may rest with them in the kingdom of my Father. Amen.
Amen.
God is talking to Peter Whitmer, John Whitman's son, here.
It's a form revelation. God just removed the "John" in verse 1 of section 15 and replaced it with "Peter" in chapter 16, and he was good to go.
But I guess God must have shared a different little secret with Peter than the one that he shared with his father in section 15.
