Joseph F. Smith’s Vision

Joseph F. Smith’s Vision on the Redemption of the Dead

Prophet Joseph F. Smith was the sixth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. At the end of his life he was very sick, and the veil was very thin. A couple months before his death he had a dream, or a vision, about what happens in the time after the death of Jesus Christ and his miraculous resurrection.

The vision took place the day before general conference, he said the “heavens were opened” and he saw the Savior ministering to the dead, he saw the people who were faithful to the Savior in this life. This is a short 3 minute video about this miraculous vision.

The Church decided to include the Revelation in the scriptures and you can find this revelation in Doctrine and Covenants 138.

By President M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles gave a talk in General Conference in 2018 on the vision of Joseph F. Smith. Here is the link to his conference talk:
