In the spring of 1974 Ross W. LeBaron received a
revelation pertaining to the mission of Noah when he appeared to Joseph Smith
and Oliver Cowdrey on April 3rd, 1836; in the Kirtland Temple. When Noah
appeared he did so in the name of Elias (See D&C 110:12). Ross and I discussed
his revelation on a number of occasions occassions and the following is the
substance of it as best as I can remb remember.
“Noah appeared in the name of Elias because he came as a
forerunner to prepare the way for something greater, the mission of Elijah, who
came after him. Noah came as a forerunner in that he committed the birthright
to Joseph and Oliver so that they might rightly hold the necessary offices to
officiate as the Presiding Patriarchs over all the earth in the Patriarchal
Priesthood which Elijah restored shortly afterward, Noah committed to Joseph
the birthright to be the presiding Patriarch over all the earth, that is “The
right of the Firstborn” and to Oliver was committed the birthright of being
“Patriarch to the Gentiles”.
