THE HEAVENS ARE OPEN AGAIN - Honoring the Bicentennial of The First Vision



Today, March 19, 2020 is the spring equinox. It is earliest day for the vernal equinox to occur in over 100 years. This event marks the astronomical first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. What makes this Spring Equinox even more important is that it also marks the 200 anniversary of Joseph Smith's Theophany with God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. Although Joseph Smith never penned the exact day, scholars suggest that the date of the first vision was March 26th.. which will be in a week.

Above is a link to first of several short video vignettes that will be released this year as part of commemorating this important event of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a new series intended to inspire all of us to repent and come to know our Savior Jesus Christ and have the Heavens Open to Us just as Joseph Smith did 200 years ago this Spring.

  1. There is an error as March 26, 2020 is a Thursday and not a Sunday.

  2. Is the LDS Russell Nelson video the one you posted? YouTube: "Bicentennial General Conference 2020 Trailer Original (FAN MADE)" That's what is showing up for me on your blog post.

    Is it supposed to be this one: "The Heavens Are Open Again PART 01: Condemnation"?
