Avatar4321 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 I was reading and found this. Thought it interesting: “no true angel from God will ever come to ordain any man, because they have once been sent to establish the priesthood by ordaining me thereunto; and the priesthood being once established on earth, with [the] power to ordain others, no heavenly messenger will ever come to interfere with that power by ordaining any more. … You may therefore know, from this time forward, that if any man comes to you professing to be ordained by an angel, he is either a liar or has been imposed upon in consequence of transgression by an angel of the devil, for this priesthood shall never be taken from this Church." (Millennial Star, 20 Nov. 1846, 139.) The quote is attributed to Joseph in the winter of 1832-1833. Anyone have more information on it? 4

It aligns with what he taught elsewhere about "the economy of heaven".
