A 28-slide PowerPoint Presentation for the Seminary Lesson 131: D&C 124:1–21
"When the Prophet Joseph Smith received the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 124 on January 19, 1841, the Saints had been in Nauvoo, Illinois, for nearly two years. After the persecutions and hardships they had experienced, the Saints now had a place where they could gather and build up a city in peace. Doctrine and Covenants 124 is the first revelation Joseph Smith received in Nauvoo that would be canonized. This section will be divided among three lessons. This lesson discusses verses 1–21. In these verses, the Lord commanded that a proclamation be sent to the rulers of the earth regarding the Restoration of the gospel and the stake of Zion in Nauvoo. He also praised and gave counsel to early Church leaders." [Introduction from the online lesson at lds.org]
