1 Hearken, my servant Peter, and listen to the words of Jesus Christ, your Lord and your Redeemer.
The LORD met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. 4:24
Trivia: According to section 133, 144,000 will stand on mount Zion with the Lamb. What will be written on their foreheads?
16:1-6 1 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.
