Quinns book "Origens of Power" does a good job of explaining the sequence of events.
The facts show that he was never persecuted for telling others about his vision. His persecution all stemmed from his Gold Bible claims.
You are right that he changed the vision details when he needed to shore up his claims of supreme authority in Kirtland.
