Historical Background
In March of 1832, the Lord inspired the Prophet Joseph to create the United Firm. This was to be an organization of members of the Church who would develop businesses whose profits could be used to strengthen the Church financially, and to provide for the poor (see D&C 78:11; 82:11). Prominent leaders of the Church were expected to become part of the United Firm. Sometimes the name of this group is United Order. They appear to be synonymous expressions to the Prophet Joseph. Frederick G. Williams had recently been called as a member of the First Presidency. This revelation directs him to become part of the United Firm.
D&C 92:1-2 Be a Lively Member
What were those who were already members of the United Order, or United Firm, expected to do? What was Frederick G. Williams expected to do? What are we to understand when the Lord says, “What I say unto one I say unto all?” What can we do to assist in building up the kingdom of God financially?
