Brigham Young referred to the priesthood as “a perfect order and system of government” (Discourses of Brigham Young, 130). In an official explanation on the nature of priesthood, the following two aspects were defined: “As pertaining to eternity, priesthood is the eternal power and authority of Deity by which all things exist; by which they are created, governed, and controlled; by which the universe and worlds without number have come rolling into existence; by which the great plan of creation, redemption, and exaltation operates throughout immensity. It is the power of God.” As pertaining to man’s existence on this earth, priesthood is the power and authority of God delegated to man on earth to act in all things for the salvation of men.”Share
