Revelation was still a relatively new concept for the Saints as the Restoration continued to unfold. Early Church members knew that the Prophet Joseph Smith could receive revelation for the Church, but could others?
Questions like this became critical when Hiram Page, one of the Eight Witnesses of the gold plates, believed he had received revelations for the Church.
Many faithful Saints believed that these revelations were from God.
The Lord responded by teaching that in His Church βall things must be done in orderβ (Doctrine and Covenants 28:13), which meant having only one βappointed to receive commandments and revelationsβ for the entire Church (Doctrine and Covenants 28:2).
Even so, others could receive personal revelation for their part in the Lordβs work. In fact, the Lordβs words to Oliver Cowdery are a reminder to all of us: βIt shall be given thee β¦ what thou shalt doβ (Doctrine and Covenants 28:15).
