D&C 84
Even though the Bishop is the president of the Aaronic priesthood and -
"The bishopric is the presidency of this priesthood, and holds the keys or authority of the same." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 107:15)
The Lord made it clear -
"...the offices of elder and bishop are necessary appendages belonging unto the high priesthood." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:29)
in comparison to -
"...the offices of teacher and deacon are necessary appendages belonging to the lesser priesthood, which priesthood was confirmed upon Aaron and his sons." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:30)
Therefore bishops as well as those that are -
"...faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of which I have spoken, and the magnifying their calling..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:33)
"...become the sons of Moses and of Aaron..." (Doctrine and Covenants Section 84:34)
We are promised in the last days that at some time, again -
"...the sons of Moses and also the sons of Aaron shall offer an acceptable offering and sacrifice in the house of the Lord..." (Doctrine and Covenants
Section 84:31)
