The First Vision is the name given to the seminal event in the Restoration–the visitation of God, the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ, to Joseph Smith in the Spring of 1820. The event is recognized and revered by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) around the world. (Mormon Wiki.)
The official account of Joseph Smith’s First Vision can be found in the scriptures of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (more commonly referred to as the Mormon Church,) It is of noteworthy interest that Joseph Smith gave 8 separate accounts of this vision over the years. As to be expected, the accounts that he gave were not exact duplicates of one another, and some of the accounts were missing important details of the event that had occurred in the Spring of 1820 in a small grove of trees not far from the Smith home. Nevertheless, each account provided a slightly different perspective of this marvelous event.
The following videos are from a documentary in which the finest scholars of Joseph Smith’s First Vision explore the circumstances and history of the various accounts of the visitation of God the Father and Jesus Christ to the boy Joseph Smith.
