In a surprising turn, the LDS Church has quietly validated the long-disputed 1886 Revelation given to John Taylor, a document that fundamentalists have clung to for over a century as divine proof that plural marriage was never meant to end. In this episode, Lindsay and Bryan dig into the origins of the revelation, the secret meeting in which it was allegedly received, and the scribbled line that kept polygamy on theological life support long after the Manifesto. What does it mean for the institutional church to suddenly acknowledge this document? Why now? And what does it say about Mormonism’s long and tangled relationship with polygamy, authority, and unfinished doctrine? Come for the history lesson, stay for the prophetic drama. We’re talking angels with swords, secret keys of priesthood, and why this revelation refuses to go quietly.
