The Living Christ #7
I think there is a marked contrast between how Joseph was able to describe Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ after the First Vision, and how he saw Christ 16 years later when the first House of the Lord in this dispensation was dedicated. The majesty of Jehovah who had guided His children from Adam, up to and including Joseph himself, was completely apparent to Joseph in a way that he could not understand as a 14-year-old farm boy. And here is the Savior testifying of His eternal nature, His Atoning sacrifice, His Godhood, His role as Mediator for us. Even with all Joseph knew at this stage, His presence was overwhelming.
