"We often consider Joseph Smith's First Vision to mark the beginning of the current dispensation. But after the veil-piercing visitation of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, to the Prophet Joseph Smith, many other heavenly messengers visited Joseph and helped usher in this final dispensation. Though we do not know how many angelic messengers appeared to the Prophet--or the purpose of some of their visits--we do know the circumstances and the nature of many of these visits. Heavenly beings came to Joseph Smith to unfold the majesty and glory of future events, to warn, to admonish, and to teach the maturing prophet. Former prophets and apostles returned priesthood keys to reestablish the Church with divinely recognized authority once again upon the earth." [Author's introduction]
