"On February 16, 1832, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon were working on inspired revisions to the Bible (sometimes called the Joseph Smith Translation). While they were translating and pondering the meaning of John 5:29, they were shown a vision, which is recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 76. During this vision, the Savior showed Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon a series of distinct visions that affirmed the reality and divinity of Jesus Christ, taught about the fall of Satan and the sons of perdition, and revealed the nature of the three kingdoms of glory and those who will inherit them. President Wilford Woodruff said, 'I will refer to the ‘Vision’ [in section 76] alone, as a revelation which gives more light, more truth and more principle than any revelation contained in any other book we ever read. It makes plain to our understanding our present condition, where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going to. Any man may know through that revelation what his part and condition will be.'" [Introduction from the online lesson at lds.org]
