The Interpreter Radio Roundtable for\u00a0Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0Book of Mormon Lesson 4,\u00a0\u201cArmed with Righteousness and with the Power of God,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0on 1 Nephi 11-15 involved only one participant, but a really good one \u2014 Martin Tanner. This discussion was extracted from the 29 December 2019 broadcast of Interpreter Radio.

Teachings and Testimony of the First Vision:<\/a> \u00a0An Amalgamation of Joseph Smith\u2019s First Vision,\u00a0followed by
\nA Doctrinal Summary of the First Vision from the Teachings of Apostles and Prophets:\u00a0Part of a Series Compiled by Dennis B. Horne<\/p>\n

Note: this narration is only of the prayer and vision, not other closely related matters. It contains descriptive material (not word-for-word) from the four main accounts originating with Joseph Smith. I put it together to show how they collectively enlarge our understanding by adding depth, breadth, and detail. One quickly understands why this vision is considered as foundational to the restoration of the gospel and the eventual establishment of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
