Mahonri Moriancumer
The brother of Jared was among those who saw the vision of eternity. I think it is important to consider that when he was chastened for not calling upon the Lord for four years that likely meant that he got complacent and said prayers of gratitude for the land they were in rather than diligently…

Zenos and Zenok
The prophets Zenos and Zenok interest me because they are quoted in the Book of Mormon in such a way as to indicate that they were solid sources of truth (by Jacob and Alma respectively) but we have no other record of them. Zenos seems to have had the vision of eternity but we know…

Nephi ben Lehi
I can’t decode if it would be easier to be righteous while living in the midst of great wickedness or while living in the must of great wilderness. In the one car you would have ample opportunity to benefit and collaborate with others in meeting the material needs of your family but you would be…

Haggai and Zechariah
Haggai and Zechariah were both passing on the same time period as Ezra. We don’t know a whole lot about them but this further demonstrates what an extraordinary time that was. Zechariah prophesies of the second coming of Christ and may possibly have seen the vision of eternity.

Zechariah
Zechariah was contemporary with Haggai and I didn’t realize it before but it sounds like Zechariah had the vision of eternity.

Daniel
I’m surprised at how little the Bible Dictionary had to say about Daniel. As a youth he was asking those captured by the Babylonians and one of those selected to be raised in the royal household. Even as a youth he was bold enough to defy the kings instructions in order to live as he…

The Eternal Vision
Multiple prophets in the scriptures are said to have been shown everything that would happen among the children of men until the end of the world. This vision of all that lay in store on this earth is what I call the eternal vision. It entails not simply a recitation of post and future history…

Ezekiel
Ezekiel was asking the captives of Nebuchadnezzar. He prophesied of the final restoration in end times of his then broken people and he saw the vision of the end of the world although I’ve never thought of him when listing those who have seen that glorious vision.

Isaiah
If we knew nothing of Isaiah except what other prophets quoted from him we would still know him to be very influential. When Nephi wanted his brothers to understand the covenants of the Lord he quoted the words of Isaiah at length. The Savior Himself quoted Isaiah extensively. In fact, Isaiah is quoted by later…

Moses part 5
The experience where Moses saw Heavenly Father and then saw Satan afterwards may have taken place when he was on Sinai after the children of Israel decided they were too scared to meet God. This was one of the recorded instances where a prophet had the vision of eternity.
