Yesterday’s answer:
C When Joseph Smith met Brigham for the very first
time
From the life of Brigham Young: Several anxious hours
later Brigham stood gazing at a handsome, muscular man almost five years his
junior, engaged in chopping firewood. “Here my joy was full at the privilege of
shaking the hand of the Prophet of God, and [I] received the sure testimony,
but the Spirit of prophecy, that he was all that any man could believe him to
be, as a true Prophet.” This was the beginning of a lifelong love of profound
depth that Brigham Young had for the Prophet Joseph Smith. He once exclaimed,
“I feel like shouting hallelujah, all the time, when I think that I ever knew
Joseph Smith, the Prophet.” At a meeting later that day Brigham arose and spoke
in tongues; it was the first time the brethren present had heard the true gift
of tongues. Afterward Joseph made a remarkable prophecy: “The time will come
when brother Brigham Young will preside over this Church.”
