One of the many ways that God gives revelation to His children here on earth is through Visions. This episode explains the difference between a dream and a vision, the importance of visions, and why we might have our own visions. The testimonies of prophets past and present testify to the validity that every day saints can have this gift of the spirit if they obey the commandments, keep their covenants, and are heavily involved in the Gathering of Israel. There are many examples of visions in the scriptures and through testimonies of saints from all ages. It can be another form of communicative revelation that is prevalent in our lives, if we but study the patterns, asked God for the supernal gift, and seek after our ancestors.
