Sections 87, 98, 134

WOW, this revelation is meticulously accurate about the Civil War! how amazing! And how could Joseph Smith have known all of that? It was obviously revelation. Interesting that the call to stand in holy places comes right after the description of the civil war. I wonder why?
Section 98 was given in response to the persecution of the Saints. Our afflictions are not only for our own good, but for the good of others and the Glory of God. God has not given us these experience for ourselves only. We need to share them so that others may benefit as well.

    Good question. One answer about standing in holy places is perhaps the same idea that if we are where we should be, fulfilling our callings, serving God, and fellowshipping with good people, we will be able to find that person that we are to marry. Our safety lies in being at the right place in the right time. Holy places are not only found in the temple, but in our homes, apartments, places of work, or anywhere that is sanctified by our presence as we live the covenants.
