User:Hydrangeans/draft of D&C 132
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doctrine and Covenants section 132, also called the 1843 revelation,[1] the revelation on celestial marriage,[2] the plural marriage revelation,[3] D&C 132, or section 132, is a section of the Latter-day Saint Doctrine and Covenants (D&C). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) regards the D&C as scripture,[lower-alpha 1] and the denomination canonized D&C 132 in 1876. The section has been included in each edition of its D&C ever since. The text now known as D&C 132 was first penned on July 12, 1843. Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement (sometimes also called Mormonism) and president of the Church of Christ (by that time renamed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), dictated the text, and Wlliam Clayton scribed it.

Smith's followers at the time considered him a prophet who dictated revelations understood to be as if from the voice of God. The text of D&C 132 is given from such a first-person point of view, as if it is God speaking.
