Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

Aarón Joaquín González led the church until 1964, followed by Samuel Joaquín Flores and then Naasón Joaquín García in 2014. The church presents each succession as divine election. Its reports publish messages and ritual authorization in García's name. Leadership succession within the family is historical; divine election is the church's interpretation.
