As such, the three witnesses show up in the first chapter. Enter John and Andrew at the baptism of Jesus. Andrew has a brother, Peter whom they first go to. Then shows up Phillip and last of all Nathaniel, the skeptic.</p><p>Consider that Andrew and his Brother represent Joseph and Hyrum Smith. In the end they constitute the only witnesses that suffered martyrdom. <br>John represents Oliver, Phillip as Martin, and Nathaniel as David.</p>JBThu, 05 Mar 2020 06:01:06 -0000
