THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
SECTION 120
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Far West, Missouri, July 8, 1838, making known the disposition of the properties tithed as named in the preceding revelation, Section 119. HC 3: 44.
1 VERILY, thus saith the Lord, the time [ This was given on the same day as section 119 "Making known the disposition of the properties tithed as named in the preceding revelation". ] is now come, that it [ These tithings that are gathered. This is suggesting that clarification was needed. Not the tithing but the properties tithed are now in the hands of the church ] shall be disposed [ It is up to the authorities of the church to administer them - they are in complete control of the distribution. ] of by a council, composed of the First Presidency of my Church, and of the bishop and his council, and by my high council; and by mine own voice unto them, saith the Lord. Even so. Amen.
