Listen "Section 25"
Episode Synopsis
In the summer of 1830, Emma Hale Smith faced significant challenges, including her baptism being disrupted by hostile neighbors and her husband, Joseph Smith, being arrested for preaching the Book of Mormon. This period was marked by emotional distress and concerns about her financial future. Despite these hardships, a revelation in section 24 promised a modest living if supported by the Saints, and in section 25, the Lord addressed Emma personally, calling her an “Elect Lady” and assuring her of His support if she remained faithful and virtuous. This passage underscores the vital role of women in the early Church and the personal revelations they received.
