EXCERPTS FROM SERMON OF THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH
Documentary History of The Church (DHC) 1:315
"And now I am prepared to say by the authority of Jesus
Christ, that not many years shall pass away before the United States
shall present such a scene of bloodshed as has not a parallel in the history of
our nation (the Civil War began 28 years later, and ½ million died)
pestilence, hail, famine and earthquake will sweep the wicked of this generation
from off the face of the land, to open and prepare the way for the return of the lost
tribes of Israel from the north country (most of the European immigrants came after
the Civil War.)
On another occasion in 1832 Joseph had foretold:
"Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, BEGINNING at the rebellion of South Carolina, WHICH
will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls." D&C 87:1
Fact: US history tell us that Confederate troops fired on
Fort Sumter, in Charleston South Carolina, 29 years after
he made the prophecy, AND the Civil War began.
From The Parowan Prophet, I am prepared to say by the authority of
Jesus Christ, that those people, who do not repent of their false traditions, will feel
the fire of hell. Some of those people who have to keep their traditions no matter
whatever facts are real, shall have eternal regrets. Some people cannot admit the
prophecies of Joseph Smith. Even some church leaders will not admit the "White Horse
prophecy." They are like the people who could not find O.J. Simpson guilty. No
facts matter. Other denominations will not admit Josephs prophecies. They
will see hell also. Because they are chained to their traditions, just like slaves. And
the wont believe men who talk with God, not at him. Like most do. I will say that
not many days shall pass away before the United States shall present such a scene
of bloodshed as has not a parallel in the history of our nation.
