Lehi’s vision of “God seated on his throne among the council of his heavenly hosts” is “fully consistent with the spiritual experiences of other Israelite prophets of his day.” Many prophets “expressed their visions in terms of participating in an assembly in heaven and receiving the judgments of that council concerning God’s will about the destiny of man and the world (see, for example, 1 Kings 22:19–22; Isaiah 6:1–10; 40:1–8; Job 1:6–12; 2:1–6; Zechariah 1:8–13; 3:1–7; 6:1–8; Jeremiah 23:18)” (Welch, “Lehi’s Council Vision,” 24).
