Revelation to Joseph Smith the Prophet, given at Kirtland, Ohio, March 8, 1833. This revelation is a continuing step in the establishment of the First Presidency (see the heading to section 81); as a consequence thereof, the counselors mentioned were ordained on March 18, 1833.

1–5, The keys of the kingdom are committed to Joseph Smith and through him to the Church; 6–7, Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams are to serve in the First Presidency; 8–11, The gospel is to be preached to the nations of Israel, to the Gentiles, and to the Jews, every man hearing in his own tongue; 12–18, Joseph Smith and his counselors are to set the Church in order; 19–37, Various individuals are counseled by the Lord to walk uprightly and serve in His kingdom.

1 Thus saith the Lord, verily, verily I say unto you my son, thy sins are forgiven thee, according to thy petition, for thy prayers and the prayers of thy brethren have come up into my ears. 2 Therefore, thou art blessed from henceforth that bear the keys of the kingdom given unto you; which kingdom is coming forth for the last time. 3 Verily I say unto you, the keys of this kingdom shall never be taken from you, while thou art in the world, neither in the world to come; 4 Nevertheless, through you shall the oracles be given to another, yea, even unto the church.
Note: Joseph Smith did not have the keys to Liberty Jail.
Joseph Smith and five other Latter Day Saint leaders were imprisoned in Liberty Jail in Liberty, Missouri, from December 1, 1838, to April 6, 1839, during the 1838 Mormon War.
Note: Joseph Smith did not have the keys to Carthage Jail.
Joseph Smith, the founder and leader of the Latter Day Saint movement, and his brother, Hyrum Smith, were killed by a mob in Carthage, Illinois, United States, on June 27, 1844, while awaiting trial in the town jail on charges of treason.

5 And all they who receive the oracles of God, let them beware how they hold them lest they are accounted as a light thing, and are brought under condemnation thereby, and stumble and fall when the storms descend, and the winds blow, and the rains descend, and beat upon their house.
Note: A wise man will listen to Jesus Christ not Joseph Smith.
“Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” Matthew 7:24-25

6 And again, verily I say unto thy brethren, Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams, their sins are forgiven them also, and they are accounted as equal with thee in holding the keys of this last kingdom;
Note: Sidney Rigdon was the driving force behind early Mormonism.
A former Reformed Baptist (Campbellite) preacher from Ohio, Rigdon converted to the church in November 1830 and brought many of his congregation into the faith. In 1833, he was formally designated as a "spokesman" for Joseph Smith and the church (recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 100:9–11), utilizing his strong oratorical and theological skills. He served as First Counselor in the First Presidency starting in 1832/1833 and acted as a scribe for Joseph Smith's translation of the Bible.

7 As also through your administration the keys of the school of the prophets, which I have commanded to be organized; 8 That thereby they may be perfected in their ministry for the salvation of Zion, and of the nations of Israel, and of the Gentiles, as many as will believe; 9 That through your administration they may receive the word, and through their administration the word may go forth unto the ends of the earth, unto the Gentiles first, and then, behold, and lo, they shall turn unto the Jews.
Note: Yahweh eliminated the office of prophet with Jesus Christ.
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:1-4

10 And then cometh the day when the arm of the Lord shall be revealed in power in convincing the nations, the heathen nations, the house of Joseph, of the gospel of their salvation.
Note: The Christian Gospel is Jesus Christ.
Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

11 For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Note: The Holy Spirit will testify of Jesus Christ.
“But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.” John 15:26-27

12 And now, verily I say unto you, I give unto you a commandment that you continue in the ministry and presidency. 13 And when you have finished the translation of the prophets, you shall from thenceforth preside over the affairs of the church and the school; 14 And from time to time, as shall be manifested by the Comforter, receive revelations to unfold the mysteries of the kingdom;
Note: Yahweh eliminated the office prophet with Jesus Christ.
“For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.” Matthew 11:13

15 And set in order the churches, and study and learn, and become acquainted with all good books, and with languages, tongues, and people. 16 And this shall be your business and mission in all your lives, to preside in council, and set in order all the affairs of this church and kingdom.
Note: The kingdom of God concerns Jesus Christ.
So, when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging, to whom he explained and solemnly testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning till evening. Acts 28:23

17 Be not ashamed, neither confounded; but be admonished in all your high-mindedness and pride, for it bringeth a snare upon your souls. 18 Set in order your houses; keep slothfulness and uncleanness far from you. 19 Now, verily I say unto you, let there be a place provided, as soon as it is possible, for the family of thy counselor and scribe, even Frederick G. Williams.
Note: Frederick Williams was a successful organizer.
On July 20, 1832, Williams was appointed scribe to Joseph Smith and joined the church's First Presidency the next year. He was a member of the committee appointed to publish the Doctrine and Covenants, a portion of the church's canon, as well as the church's first hymnal from 1835, compiled by Smith's wife, Emma, under the auspices of F.G. Williams & Co.
 
20 And let mine aged servant, Joseph Smith, Sen., continue with his family upon the place where he now lives; and let it not be sold until the mouth of the Lord shall name.
Note: Joseph Smith learned the tricks of the magic trade from his father.
Smith practiced his Universalist beliefs through folk religion and magical beliefs, which included dream Interpretation and visionary experience, use of "divining rods" and "seer stones", as well as using magic to identify and dig for buried treasure. Smith modeled each folk religion and magic tradition for all of his children. Most notably his son Joseph relied on all three categories of folk magic gifts as he shared his religious story of obtaining and translating the Book of Mormon.

21 And let my counselor, even Sidney Rigdon, remain where he now resides until the mouth of the Lord shall name.
Note: Sidney Rigdon suffered a demonic attack in this house.
On one occasion during Joseph’s absence, Sidney informed a body of Saints that the “keys of the kingdom” had been taken from the Church. Those present were confused and dismayed by the announcement. Joseph was immediately sent for and, upon his return, declared that the things Sidney had taught were false. The Prophet added that, because of the things Elder Rigdon had said and done, “the devil [would] handle him as one man handles another.” In fulfillment of Joseph’s words, “a few weeks after this, Sidney was lying in bed alone, and suddenly ‘an unseen power lifted him from his bed . . . and tossed him from one side of the room to the other.’ His family heard the noises coming from the room and rushed in ‘and found him going from one side of the room to the other.’” This happened some three times over the course of the night. Sidney was physically “laid up” for five or six weeks because of the effects of the experience some five or six weeks. Thus, having spoken under the influence of the devil, Sidney was then turned over to the physical buffetings of Lucifer.

22 And let the bishop search diligently to obtain an agent, and let him be a man who has got riches in store—a man of God, and of strong faith— 23 That thereby he may be enabled to discharge every debt; that the storehouse of the Lord may not be brought into disrepute before the eyes of the people. 24 Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith ye have covenanted one with another.
Note: Joseph Smith continually needed money and eventually formed a bogus bank.
The Kirtland Safety Society (KSS) was first proposed as a bank in 1836, and eventually organized on January 2, 1837, as a joint stock company, by leaders and followers of the then-named Church of the Latter-day Saints. According to KSS's 1837 "Articles of Agreement", it was intended to serve the financial needs of the growing Latter Day Saint community in Kirtland, Ohio.

25 Let your families be small, especially mine aged servant Joseph Smith’s, Sen., as pertaining to those who do not belong to your families; 26 That those things that are provided for you, to bring to pass my work, be not taken from you and given to those that are not worthy—27 And thereby you be hindered in accomplishing those things which I have commanded you.
Note: Joseph Smith Senior was an alcoholic.
Smith, like his wife Lucy, struggled with depression. Lucy described her husband’s depression as "deep periods of melancholy," which she said he "medicated" with alcohol. Other contemporaries of Smith characterized his self-medication, more severely and chronically, as persistent alcohol abuse.

28 And again, verily I say unto you, it is my will that my handmaid Vienna Jaques should receive money to bear her expenses, and go up unto the land of Zion; 29 And the residue of the money may be consecrated unto me, and she be rewarded in mine own due time. 30 Verily I say unto you, that it is meet in mine eyes that she should go up unto the land of Zion, and receive an inheritance from the hand of the bishop; 31 That she may settle down in peace inasmuch as she is faithful, and not be idle in her days from thenceforth. 32 And behold, verily I say unto you, that ye shall write this commandment, and say unto your brethren in Zion, in love greeting, that I have called you also to preside over Zion in mine own due time. 33 Therefore, let them cease wearying me concerning this matter.
Note: Joseph Smith conned Vienna Jaques out of her money.
On March 8, 1833, the Prophet Joseph Smith advised Vienna to give her monies to the Church. Without hesitation, she offered her all—$1,400.

34 Behold, I say unto you that your brethren in Zion begin to repent, and the angels rejoice over them. 35 Nevertheless, I am not well pleased with many things; and I am not well pleased with my servant William E. McLellin, neither with my servant Sidney Gilbert; and the bishop also, and others have many things to repent of. 36 But verily I say unto you, that I, the Lord, will contend with Zion, and plead with her strong ones, and chasten her until she overcomes and is clean before me.
Note: Joseph Smith did not understand why his fanatics were a disruption.
In early 1833, Independence, Missouri faced deep social and political friction driven by the rapid influx of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), who viewed the area as their promised "Zion". This tension erupted into economic competition, cultural clashes, and anti-slavery fears that culminated in mob violence and the forced expulsion of Church members later that year.

37 For she shall not be removed out of her place. I, the Lord, have spoken it. Amen.
Note: Joseph Smith was a false prophet.
The expulsion of Latter-day Saints from "Zion" (Jackson County, Missouri) occurred in late 1833 when local mobs and vigilantes violently drove the community across the Missouri River. Tensions flared over the Saints' anti-slavery sentiments, rapid population growth, cultural differences, and economic competition.
