From my early days growing up in Granger, Utah and reading 2 Nephi 3, I have often wondered, what did Joseph Smith do in the Pre-existence to distinguish himself so well? Particularly, to usher in the last dispensation and be the prophet of the restoration? In addition, what was Joseph’s first reaction when he translated 2 Nephi 3, oh I wished I could have witnessed his reaction!! I love the prophet Joseph for being the instrument of restoring the Priesthood whereby sacred & exalted Ordinances can be performed in our sacred Temples

Outstanding article. Thank you so much.

It would be interesting to know which branch of Joseph. No one is from the tribe of Joseph only. Joseph was given a double portion by way of the birthright.

Such clarity and scholarship! I have saved the link to this article until I can preserve the text on my computer. I also sent it to a friend who has developed issues with unfounded stories of Brother Joseph. It seems the powers of darkness that attacked him in his lifetime are still at work. I am forever grateful to know that Truth will prevail and that scholars like yourself will continue to expose it.
