Doctrine and Covenants Section 101: Revelation on Zion’s Redemption

Doctrine and Covenants

Section 101

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet in Kirtland, Ohio, on December 16, 1833 (History of the Church, 1:458–464). In those days, the Saints who had gathered in Missouri were suffering severe persecutions. The mobs had driven them from their homes in Jackson County, and some of the Saints had attempted to establish themselves in Van Buren County, but persecution followed them there. The main body of the Saints was then in Clay County, Missouri. Threats of death against members of the Church were abundant. People had lost furniture, clothing, livestock, and other personal property, and many of their crops had been destroyed.

1–8, The Saints are disciplined and afflicted because of their transgressions; 9–15, The Lord’s indignation will fall upon the nations, but His people will be gathered and comforted; 16–21, Zion and its stakes will be established; 22–31, The nature of life during the Millennium is set forth; 32–42, The Saints will then be blessed and rewarded; 43–62, The parable of the nobleman and the olive trees represents the difficulties and eventual redemption of Zion; 63–75, The Saints are to continue gathering together; 76–80, The Lord established the Constitution of the United States; 81–101, The Saints are to insist that they receive justice for the damages received, according to the parable of the woman and the unjust judge.

78 That every man may act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral aagency which I have given unto him, that every man may be baccountable for his own sins in the day of cjudgment.
