REVELATION.
The Church, being led by apostles and prophets, receives the immediate mind and will of the Lord from time to time as occasion requires. This has been true in all ages; Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses and the former-day apostles are examples.
PROV. 29:18.—"Where there is no vision, the people perish."
AMOS 3:7.—"The Lord will do nothing, but he revealeth his secrets unto his servants, the prophets."
I COR. 2:10-13.—Those who possess the Spirit of God receive revelation. (See also passages under "Holy Ghost, Gifts and Operations.")
EPH. 3:3.—Paul receives revelation.
PHIL. 3:15.—The Lord will reveal more if necessary.
MATT. 16:13-18.—"The gates of hell shall not prevail against it"—the rock of revelation.
DOC. AND COV. 42:61.—Elders of Church may receive revelation.
DOC. AND COV. 43:2-6; 107:91, 92.—President only receives revelations for the Church.
Opponents to modern revelation quote:
REV. 22:18, 19.—Which forbids man to take from or add to the words of the Book. The reply to this is that the passage does not say the Lord might not do this; besides, reference is made only to the Book of Revelations. John wrote his Gospel afterwards. A similar admonition is found in Deut. 4:2.
