Isaiah at the Salt Lake Temple Dedication?

[Duncan]

I recently heard a speaker say that at the Salt Lake Temple dedication in 1893, Pres. Wilford Woodruff saw in vision the ancient prophet Isaiah. I asked them where they got that and they say that they had heard it from someone else. I have never heard Isaiah being there before but I know that Pres. Woodruff was a visionary man. Has anyone else heard this before?. I know on April 7th, according to John Whittaker he had a vision of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor and others of this dispensation but no mention of Isaiah, but maybe he said it elsewhere.

§President Woodruff later remarked: “The Heavenly Host were in attendance at the [first] dedication [service]. If the eyes of the congregation could be opened they would [have] seen Joseph and Hyrum [Smith], Brigham Young, John Taylor and all the good men who had lived in this dispensation assembled with us, as also [Isaiah] … and all the Holy Prophets and Apostles who had prophesied of the latter day work” (quoted in LaRene Gaunt, “ ‘The Power of God Was with Us,’ ” p. 29

You know one thing that bears testimony of the fact that we lived in heaven (Heavenly Father's presence) is how almost (if not all) visions thought out scripture, such as the MT of Transfiguration, where Moses and Elijah were recognized by Peter James and John. Also so many other times even in our dispensation...unless like a "FAIR Conference" everyone wares name tags, those who receive these visions, always know who they are looking at. I think they are seeing those they remembered from their past.

On the morning of 6 April 1893, Wilford Woodruff entered the Salt Lake Temple through the southwest doors and proceeded to the fourth floor. At 10:00 A.M., with twenty-five hundred people in attendance, the first of a series of forty-one dedication services began. The dedication was the final step in a forty-year saga of sacrifice and labor surrounding the construction of the Salt Lake Temple.

“The Heavenly Host were in attendance at the [first] dedication [service],” President Woodruff told the congregation in a subsequent dedicatory service. “If the eyes of the congregation could be opened they would [have] seen Joseph and Hyrum [Smith], Brigham Young, John Taylor and all the good men who had lived in this dispensation assembled with us, as also Esaias, Jeremiah, and all the Holy Prophets and Apostles who had prophesied of the latter day work. … They were rejoicing with us in this building which had been accepted of the Lord and [when] the [Hosanna] shout had reached the throne of the Almighty,” they too had joined in the joyous shout. ¹
