/*I do not hold extra-canonical or personal visions and dreams of others as doctrine - but I find much value and wisdom in familiarizing myself with them. Patterns emerge & truth is discerned that I apply to my awareness. */>

"Dark, angry, and frightful were the clouds, indeed! Now is your hour and the power of darkness! Presently the cloud over the Saints burst, and light beamed upon them."

The reference [2] is to 1 Nephi 14:14.

Brother Farnsworth initially thought it was an evil vision because Joseph and Hyrum weren't out West [Utah] - then they were Martyred.

"I felt in my heart, that the Lord ought not to put us to such a severe trial, when one of the angels came to me and said that “it was actually necessary to bring the Church through as close a place as that, in order to sift out those that were among you that were unworthy"
