Doctrine and Covenants 99 “Proclaim mine everlasting gospel”
On August 29, 1832, Joseph Smith dictated this revelation for John Murdock, calling him to preach in the eastern United States. Murdock had spent much of the previous year and a half traveling as a missionary, and he had returned to Ohio with family responsibilities after the death of his wife. The Lord told him to wait until his children were provided for and sent to the bishop in Zion before leaving. Murdock later recorded that he sent his children to the bishop and continued his missionary work.

- And who receiveth you receiveth me; and you shall have power to declare my word in the demonstration of my Holy Spirit.
- And who receiveth you as a little child, receiveth my kingdom; and blessed are they, for they shall obtain mercy.
- And whoso rejecteth you shall be rejected of my Father and his house; and you shall cleanse your feet in the secret places by the way for a testimony against them.
- And behold, and lo, I come quickly to judgment, to convince all of their ungodly deeds which they have committed against me, as it is written of me in the volume of the book.
- And now, verily I say unto you, that it is not expedient that you should go until your children are provided for, and sent up kindly unto the bishop of Zion.
- And after a few years, if thou desirest of me, thou mayest go up also unto the goodly land, to possess thine inheritance;
- Otherwise thou shalt continue proclaiming my gospel until thou be taken. Amen.

How these connections are counted
Sources. Scripture text is the public-domain English text of the Doctrine and Covenants (sections 1–138). Section summaries, headings and questions are Weak Things’ own; the Church’s copyrighted headings and footnotes are not used. Joseph Smith Papers links point to the exact manuscript and printed pages. Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026.
Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.
Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text, Joseph Smith Papers images and transcriptions are not reproduced; every card links to the original. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
