“If we read section 25 carefully, we discover an important progression taking place. Emma would go from being a daughter in the kingdom (verse 1) to “elect lady” (verse 3) to queen (verse 15). Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood ordinances, combined with the keeping of her covenant promises, would increase her companionship with the Spirit and with angels, empowering her to navigate her life with divine guidance.”
