==John Taylor (1886): "God revealed Himself, as also the Lord Jesus Christ, unto His servant the Prophet Joseph Smith"==
In 1886, shortly before he died, President Taylor wrote a letter to his family, part of which reads:
<blockquote>
We are engaged in a great work, and laying the foundation thereof—a work that has been spoken of by all the holy prophets since the word was; namely, the dispensation of the fullness of times, wherein God will gather together all things in one, whether they be things in the earth, or things in the heaven; and for this purpose God revealed Himself, as also the Lord Jesus Christ, unto His servant the Prophet Joseph Smith, when the Father pointed to the Son and said: ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him.’<ref>{{Book:Roberts:Life of John Taylor}}{{Rp|394}}</ref>
</blockquote>
