Snapish and Unruly

The Church had become snappish and unruly, and several of the members in high standing were actually trying to have Joseph Smith killed, and for this reason many of the greatest doctrines ever revealed were hidden from the Church and and revealed in secret to a few men, among whom was Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball in connection with a secret Council. Some of these doctrines were concerning the Political Kingdom of God i.e. the Council of 50, the Adam-God doctrine, and plural marriage. Joseph Smith knew that the Church would get out of order even more and become ever more disobedient to the Lord. What was his consolation? The doctrine of the One Mighty and Strong who should come would have the keys of the Priesthood by lineage and by right, wresting the Kingdom from the Mormons as John did from the Jews, counting his lineage from both David and Ephraim. The Lord would deal with this snappish and unruly people by thrashing them by the power of his spirit through his anointed son whom they were prophesied to turn aside as a "thing of naught": 15 O the wise, and the learned, and the rich, that are puffed up in the pride of their hearts, and all those who preach false doctrines, and all those who commit whoredoms, and pervert the right way of the Lord, wo, wo, wo be unto them, saith the Lord God Almighty, for they shall be thrust down to hell! 16 Wo unto them that turn aside the just for a thing of naught and revile against that which is good, and say that it is of no worth! For the day shall come that the Lord God will speedily visit the inhabitants of the earth; (2 Ne 28:15-21)
