#REDIRECT [[Question: Does Doctrine and Covenants 121:28 contradict the First Vision?]]
 
 
==Criticism==
 
 
 
In 1839 Joseph Smith received a revelation from God in which it was stated that the time would come "in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods they shall be manifest" (D&C 121:28). This was an "unnecessary revelation," since according to the official LDS Church First Vision account Joseph Smith supposedly knew that there was more than one God since 1820. This information counts as evidence that the Prophet's story was fraudulent.

<!-- How to add a footnote:
 
  NOTE: Footnotes in this article use names, not numbers. Please see [[FAIRWiki:Footnotes]] for details.
 
    1) Assign your footnote a unique name, for example TheSun_Dec9.
 
    2) Add the macro {{ref|TheSun_Dec9}} to the body of the article, where you want the new footnote.
 
    3) Take note of the name of the footnote that immediately precedes yours in the article body.
 
    4) Add #{{Note|TheSun_Dec9}} to the list, immediately below the footnote you noted in step 3.  No need to re-number anything!
 
    5) Multiple footnotes to the same reference: see [[Wikipedia:Footnotes]] for a how-to.
 
  NOTE: It is important to add footnotes in the right order in the list!
