False Prophecy of Joseph Smith

 Enemies Not Destroyed 

History of the Church 1:455; “…when the executive fail you, appeal unto the president; and when the president fail you, and all laws fail you, and the humanity of the people fail you, and all things else fail you but God alone, and you continue to weary Him with your importunings, as the poor woman did the unjust judge, He will not fail to execute judgment upon your enemies, and to avenge His own elect that cry unto Him day and night.”

Prophecy given on December 10, 1833. 

The Mormons were kicked out of Ohio and God didn’t destroy their enemies.   This prophecy was actually part of a letter written by Smith to the Saints after some of them had been killed by the locals in Missouri.    While they had settlements in MO at the time their main facilities were in OH. 

They were being attacked from all sides and this letter was to encourage them to seek redress from the government and by any means they could find.  In the meantime they were told by Smith to flee for their very lives.   In June 1834 they fled OH and settled in MO.

None of the promises made by Smith for their afflictions came true.  You can read the entire story which is located on pages 453 – 456.
