D&C 27
This morning, I should admit that these are my thoughts this morning and not necessarily verified doctrine. I read the words of the Savior this morning concerning a meeting where he will partake of the sacrament with many prophets that he particularly mentions. First, after mentioning Moroni, He states -
"And also with Elias, to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 27:6)
He then proceeds to mention other great prophets that I noticed held and in some cases restored priesthood authority and keys.
What caught my attention was that He begins with "Elias", one He suggests held all committed keys and would restore them all. After which He specifically mentions several that did.
In my mind then, "Elias" must be a group name for all those that held and restored keys. In other words, by saying Elias, would refer to all those that would restore and commit keys.
