Jesus Christ --> Appearances, Antemortal - Day 4

 Deuteronomy 34:10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,

Moses was so close to the Lord that he had face to face visits with Him. Was that more for the need of a prophet starting a new dispensation? Was not Joseph Smith the same way? What about Abraham? What about Adam?

Isaiah 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

I suppose the connection between king Uzziah and Isaiah's great vision is maybe just the fact that they happened in the same year and allowed him to remember when these things happened. But it must have been glorious, I assume, because of the words that he used: a throne, high, lifted up, train filled the temple. All these words give a sense of what that experience must have been like.

2 Nephi 16:1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

I wondered if there would be any difference between this verse and that of Isaiah, I had kind of hoped there would be and that it might give a little additional insight. Yet the only thing I can find is the inclusion of a comma.
