D&C 21: All Glory to the HypnoJoe

This section is basically God telling everybody that Joseph Smith is his chosen prophet and will be responsible for some really great gospelly stuff.

There isn't much that jumps out at me here except for the audacity Joseph must have had to pen verses like these (verses 4-5):

Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me;

For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith.

He's talking about himself.  He's saying, as God, that everybody needs to do whatever Joseph says.  He's writing himself a blank check and forging God's signature.

So far, a lot of the Doctrine and Covenants has involved God propping up Joseph's legitimacy.  I mean, if you think about it, God has told us that Joseph Smith is his chosen mouthpiece in the scriptures more often than he's told us not to kill and not to bear false witness and more often than he's explained the necessity of eternal marriage or denounced racism.  How strange what he chooses to focus on.

It seems to me that a real God who stresses the principle of faith wouldn't have spent so much time making sure we all knew the founder of the church was beyond reproach and acting under divine aegis.  It  also seems to me that a regular guy who was making this stuff up and was terrified people were going to catch on would be more likely to produce this kind of text.
