The Prophet Joseph said, “The book of Revelation is one of the plainest Books God ever casued to be written.” (Smith , Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith p.290) I found this is true when we are given the main theme by the spirit.

Where Did the Minutes for the Nauvoo Council of Fifty Come From?
William Clayton, an English convert who began doing clerical work for Joseph Smith in 1842, was appointed clerk to the Council of Fifty at the council’s first meeting in Nauvoo. Clayton kept meeting minutes on loose sheets of paper and later copied these minutes into three small bound volumes. These volumes were brought across the plains to the Salt Lake Valley by Brigham Young, and they were retained by him and other members of the council. By the 1880s, the volumes were in the custody of the Office of the First Presidency, where they remained until the 21st century. In 2010, the First Presidency transferred the volumes to the Church History Library, after which Joseph Smith Papers scholars began preparing the records for publication.2
As Joseph Smith explained to the council in April 1844: “There is a distinction between the Church of God and kingdom of God [or Council of Fifty]. The laws of the kingdom are not designed to effect our salvation hereafter. It is an entire, distinct and separate government. The church is a spiritual matter and a spiritual kingdom; but the kingdom which Daniel saw was not a spiritual kingdom, but was designed to be got up for the safety and salvation of the saints by protecting them in their religious rights and worship.”8

Baptism for HEALTH?

I learn of Baptisms for Health which Joseph Smith Jr. introduced both in the temple and practiced outside the temple in Nauvoo. I believe this provides a hint of the name for the Political Kingdom of God being Habitat for Health. Stapley, J. A., & Wright, K. L. (2008). “They Shall Be Made Whole”: A History of Baptism for Health. Journal of Mormon History, 34(4), 69–112. Consider what higher levels of healing or sealing may exist in the Political Kingdom of God.
