200 years ago: March 26, 1820 and 1830 – First Vision and Book of Mormon

Book of Mormon

Today, March 26, is a significant anniversary in Church history because it was the date of the first notice of the publication and availability of the Book of Mormon. I blogged about that here:

First Vision

It’s also a significant date because the best evidence indicates that this was also the date of the First Vision. This article by John C. Lefgren summarizes the evidence.

There is a wonderful video of the evidence here:

If you’re not already familiar with this project, today is a good day to learn about it.

  1. These posts are very constructive and helpful. Thanks for taking the time to post them and boost our spiritual awareness.

  2. Thanks, Jonathan, for introducing us to a remarkable and compelling video. I never knew that Enoch prophesied the day to begin the last dispensation and the date of the first vision thousands of years ago. I was also impressed to learn that weather keeping records began at that time to become a confirming witness.
