Included in HC 4:23. Lake Erie. This was obviously before Brigham fell from the apostleship due to his later whoredom of polygamy from which he never repented.
ReplyDeleteBrigham Young's 1st polygamous child Brigham Heber (Decker) Young resulting from his whoredom with his 1st polygamous wife Lucy Ann Decker was born June 19,1845 (died 1928). Therefore back tracking 9 months leads to Sep.19,1844 when Brigham sealed in concrete his fall ironically very shortly after he consolidated his stranglehold of power at the head of the apostate church.
ReplyDeleteAnother remarkable coincidence is that in that same exact month of June 1845 William Bickerton was baptized and confirmed (born again) into the true succession of the restored gospel under Sidney Rigdon's organization, which later Wm.Bickerton led beginning in Mar-Apr.1852 and became fully organized in July 1862 with 12 new and true apostles as The Church of Jesus Christ (WHQ: Monongahela, Pennsylvania).
