There is a reference I want to point out ...

In 1896, Edward Stevenson, one of the Seven Presidents of Seventy, had "a deep talk" with President Lorenzo Snow about the Adam-God concept. Afterwards, Stevenson wrote in his diary concerning the temple creation gods: "Certainly Heloheim and Jehovah stands before Adam, or else I am very much mistaken. Then 1st Heloheim, 2nd Jehovah, 3rd Michael-Adam, 4th Jesus Christ, Our Elder Brother, in the other World from whence our spirits come."

This is not the only place where the Elohim-Jehovah-Adam-Jesus heirarchy pops up in our LDS past. It has been over a hundred years since any semblence of it has been moved away from, but it is out there none the less, and if it were to be true, such a heirarchy clears up a lot of 'problems' with a number of contradictory quotes, etc.
