S01 E09: The Space of Time Which Intervened
Episode Nine: The Space of Time Which Intervened: Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son in the spring of 1820 in answer to his earnest prayer. However, while it may have been the resolution for his personal crisis of faith it marked the beginning of the crisis of persecution that would follow him the rest of his life. This episode of History of the Saints deals with the aftermath of that Vision and what Joseph described as “the space of time which intervened between the time I had the Vision and the year, eighteen hundred and twenty-three.”
