This is another depiction of the first vision, however in this
version, the build up to the vision takes a full year. This movie does a
good job of adding some depth to the experience. It compares the
restoration to a small seed, and then a seedling, and then grows into a
large maple.
This movie again depicts the conditions around
Palmyra which lead up to the first vision. It shows a young man,
Joseph, who is concerned for his own spiritual welfare. He ponders and
asks questions and studies. He goes to his father with questions, and
to his mother. They both advise him to seek and it shall be given him.
Then when he reads in James chapter 1, "if any of ye lack wisdom, let
him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not,
and it shall be given him." Because of his searching, and pondering,
when he read this scripture, it entered Joseph's heart with great force,
and he determined to put it into action.
As in "The First Vision" it shows Joseph's walk to the grove, playing "Oh How Lovely Was the Morning."
While
"The First Vision" ended with the vision, this movie continues on to
give some background to the restoration of the priesthood, and
establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ in the latter days.
