Currently Playing: Filling in the History - Ep 37 Part 1 - Section 98 and the Law of Retaliation

This revelation was given at a time when Kirtland leaders would not have known the severity of what was going on in Missouri. We get a plat for the city of Kirtland, plans for a House of the Lord and other buildings, but also something called the Law of Retaliation. What happens when wrongs happen to us? Do we forgive? Do we fight back? Do we get a lawyer? Revelations give a few answers to the question of forgiveness and retaliation.
