Personages who appeared to Joseph Smith
Template loop detected: Question: How many visions of heavenly beings did Joseph Smith actually have and what was the nature of their visits?
Ensign, "I Have a Question"
Brian L.

Heavenly beings came to Joseph Smith to bestow priesthood keys, to unfold the majesty and glory of future events, and to warn or to admonish the maturing Prophet. Certainly to a remarkable degree the Prophet Joseph Smith received communication from an array of angels who helped prepare him to carry out his foreordained mission.
