“It Was As the Finger of a Man”
A modern revelation explains that the spirit of man is in the likeness of his physical person (D&C 77:2). The experience here verifies that principle. The finger of Jehovah, a premortal being who would not take a physical body for more than two millennia from that time, resembled a physical finger, so much so that the brother of Jared supposed he was beholding the physical.“I Come Unto My Own”
Jesus came among his own people, the Jews, and his own received him not.
