“The Lord Had Shown Unto Him”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

While the record does not suggest that such glorious visual experiences are vouchsafed to all prophets, apparently they are given to those whose caliber, calling, and circumstances warrant it. This would particularly be the case for those heading gospel dispensations or those bringing critical messages, as to pre-exilic Israel.
