The Doctrine and Covenants
And now, Oliver Cowdery, I speak unto you, and also unto David Whitmer, by the way of commandment; for, behold, I command all men everywhere to repent, and I speak unto you, even as unto Paul mine apostle, for you are called even with that same calling with which he was called.
[Cox disabled my internet in hopes I wouldn’t be able to post; therefore, I command all Internet Service Providers everywhere to repent] (liken the scriptures) You have to question why God compared David Whitmer (and Oliver Cowdery) to Paul, the symbolism there is profound. As we recall Paul used to be Saul of Tarsus who would murder the Lord’s people, but was accepted by the Lord only after a harsh repentance. He was blinded, which led to his need to rely on the Lord and his servants. “Even as unto Paul mine apostle”, the Lord is forcing those to repent. http://ldsscrip.aem.church/nt-rom-14-11/#verse http://ldsscrip.aem.church/bofm-mosiah-16-1/#verse http://ldsscrip.aem.church/bofm-mosiah-27-1/#verse
