Just a quick scan of D&C 89, before he gets to all the WoW stuff, has this (emphasis mine):
"To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the word of wisdom, showing forth the order and will of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the LAST DAYS—
3 Given for a principle with promise, adapted to the capacity of the weak and the weakest of all saints, who are or can be called saints.
4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the LAST DAYS."
Just one of many places that show the 19th Century LDS were told they were awaiting the Second Coming; apologists can spin all they want.
Also, slightly OT, verse 3 could be construed to mean that the entire WoW is only for the "weakest" of members, so "strong" members can eat or drink or smoke whatever they want.
Hey, just lookin' at what's written and thinkin' like an apologist... :-)
