Martin
Harris
Low reputation |
|
… [Martin Harris] has frequent fits of prophecying, although they
are not held in very high repute among his brethren. A specimen of his prophetic
powers we subjoin. They were written for the special information of a friend
of his who placed them upon the wall of his office, and are in these words: |
|
Unvailed,
14. |
End
by September 1836
Righteous in Zion, no wicked, no president |
|
"Within four years from September 1832, there will not
be one wicked person left in the United States; that the righteous will
be gathered to Zion, and that there will be no President over these United
States after that time. |

Churches
broken
All but Mormonites destroyed
Cut off my hand |
|
"I do hereby assert and declare that in four
years from the date hereof, every sectarian and religious denomination in
the United States, shall be broken down, and every Christian shall be gathered
unto the Mormonites, and the rest of the human race shall perish. If these
things do not take place, I will hereby consent to have my hand separated
from my body. |

P. Pratt
Violence in Canada
|
|
Elder Pratt soon
began to lay before us some of the things which were coming on the earth.
He propecied that great trouble was coming speedily on Canada; and others
in the Church, in the spirit of prophecy, said that soon the steamboats
would come loaded with rebels. |

Destruction
in Toronto
Strife and evidence of famine |
|
About this
time several of our Brethren in the Church /April 1837/ prophesied of Calamities
coming on Canada as fearful Omens had been given of War and Famine. Elder
P. P. Pratt in his parting Address, in Tears, declared the Sword and Blood
awaited that Place (Toronto). Bro William Knoles had several times spoken
to the same effect. There was nothing but Contention, Political and Religious,
and every Appearance of approaching Scarcity if not of Famine.
