This spring marks the 200th anniversary of the First Vision when God the Father and Jesus Christ’s joint appeared to the 14-year-old Joseph Smith. This event signaled both the beginning of the restoration of Christ’s Church and the young Joseph’s prophetic duties on earth. This video is the first of seven videos that have been created to continue the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Heavens are Open Again.
