SECTION 35

18 And I have given unto him the ^akeys of the mystery of those things which have been ^bsealed, even things which were from the ^cfoundation of the world, and the things which shall come from this time until the time of my coming, if he ^dabide in me, and if not, ^eanother will I plant in his stead.

Footnotes

18a	D&C 28: 7. 7 For I have given him the ^akeys of the ^bmysteries, and the revelations which are sealed, until I shall appoint unto them another in his stead. D&C 84: 19. 19 And this greater ^apriesthood administereth the gospel and holdeth the ^bkey of the ^cmysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the ^dknowledge of God.
b	Dan. 12: 9. 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and ^asealed till the time of the end. Matt. 13: 35. 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in ^aparables; I will utter things which have been kept ^bsecret from the foundation of the world. 1 Ne. 14: 26. 26 And also others who have been, to them hath he shown all things, and they have ^awritten them; and they are ^bsealed up to come forth in their purity, according to the truth which is in the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of Israel. 2 Ne. 27: 10. 10 But the words which are ^asealed he shall not deliver, neither shall he deliver the book. For the book shall be sealed by the power of God, and the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book until the own due time of the Lord, that they may come forth; for behold, they ^breveal all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof. Ether 4: 5 (4-7). 5 Wherefore the Lord hath commanded me to write them; and I have written them. And he commanded me that I should ^aseal them up; and he also hath commanded that I should seal up the interpretation thereof; wherefore I have sealed up the ^binterpreters, according to the commandment of the Lord. JS-H 1: 65. 65 “He then said to me, ‘Let me see that certificate.’ I accordingly took it out of my pocket and gave it to him, when he took it and tore it to pieces, saying that there was no such thing now as ministering of ^aangels, and that if I would bring the plates to him he would translate them. I informed him that part of the plates were ^bsealed, and that I was forbidden to bring them. He replied, ‘I cannot read a sealed book.’ I left him and went to Dr. Mitchell, who sanctioned what Professor Anthon had said respecting both the characters and the translation.”
c	D&C 128: 18. 18 I might have rendered a ^aplainer translation to this, but it is sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a ^bcurse unless there is a welding ^clink of some kind or other between the fathers and the ^dchildren, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that subject? It is the ^ebaptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the ^ffulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the ^gfoundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto ^hbabes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.
d	John 15: 4 (4, 7). 4 ^aAbide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
e	D&C 42: 10. 10 And again, I say unto you, that my servant ^aEdward Partridge shall stand in the office whereunto I have ^bappointed him. And it shall come to pass, that if he transgress ^canother shall be appointed in his stead. Even so. Amen. D&C 64: 40. 40 And even the ^abishop, who is a ^bjudge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their ^cstewardships shall be condemned, and ^dothers shall be planted in their ^estead. D&C 104: 77. 77 And in case the treasurer is found an unfaithful and an unwise steward, he shall be subject to the council and voice of the order, and shall be removed out of his place, and ^aanother shall be appointed in his stead. D&C 107: 99 (99-100). 99 Wherefore, now let every man learn his ^aduty, and to act in the office in which he is appointed, in all ^bdiligence.
