Join us today as we study this week's Come Follow Me materials dealing with section 29 of the Doctrine and Covenants. We consider the background and context to this revelation and we reflect on principles it covers in only 50 verses.

Joseph Smith Papers: According to the heading John Whitmer gave this text in Revelation Book 1, the setting for this revelation was a gathering of “Six Elders of the Church & three members” who “understood from Holy Writ that the time had come that the People of God should see eye to eye.” The book of Isaiah declared that God’s people would “see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion”; the Book of Mormon expressed the same sentiment and located Zion in the Americas. The heading seems to indicate, then, that this small group, believing that the Book of Mormon prophecy about Zion would soon be fulfilled, therefore “enquired of the Lord & thus came the word of the Lord through Joseph the seer.”
