About This Quote

When Joseph Smith was alive and the Saints were practicing polygamy, he had many enemies who became aware of the new doctrine. In the Book of Abraham, we read: “Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that mine handmaid, Emma Smith, should be obedient unto your law; for in mine own name have I commanded her to be obedient, and in my own name shall she be blessed; for I have chosen her for an example unto all women; for she pictures me.” (Doctrine and Covenants, section 132:61)
