If it be the devil as an angel of light, when you ask him to shake hands he will offer you his hand, and you will not feel anything; you may therefore detect him. 129:8

Trivia: According to the three grand keys of Section 129 of the Doctrine and Covenants, how can you tell if a messenger from God is an angel, the spirit of a just man made perfect, or the devil?

Boring Stuff 126:1-3

1 Dear and well-beloved brother, Brigham Young, verily thus saith the Lord unto you: My servant Brigham, it is no more required at your hand to leave your family as in times past, for your offering is acceptable to me.

Dear Brigham Young,

2 I have seen your labor and toil in journeyings for my name.

I've seen what you've been doing in my name.

3 I therefore command you to send my word abroad, and take especial care of your family from this time, henceforth and forever. Amen.

Send my word abroad and take care of your family. Amen.
