Prophecies of the Lord's Return - Wallace B Smith



 
Prophecies of the Lord’s Return
  
Wallace B. Smith – Prophet Designate
Another prophecy of a more recent date was given in a vision to Elder Joseph Burton of The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In late December, 1873, he was shown there would be only seven prophets to direct the church in the latter days, beginning in 1830. The following is an excerpt from The Seven Prophets of the Latter Days, written by Pamela Price, Vision 4, Spring of 1990.
“The Saints of one-hundred years ago were familiar with Elder Joseph Burton’s dream and vision which indicated there would be seven prophets of the Lord’s Church in the latter days. Brother Burton’s experiences are important to the Saints of today, for they indicate there will only be one more prophet of the church in the line of succession [of the Lord’s own choosing]. Although there have been additional prophets [presidents] named, they have not claimed to be prophets, nor have they been accepted as such.

                        The Seven Prophets
                        1. Joseph Smith, Jr.
                        2. Joseph Smith III
                        3. Frederick M. Smith
                        4. Israel A. Smith
                        5. Wallace W. Smith
                        6. Wallace B. Smith (Prophet – Designate)
                        7. The Prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)
 
Who will the seventh prophet be? When will he come? One thing we know for certain, he must be called of God. Some have suggested that the seventh prophet may be the Lord Jesus Christ himself. The Father was referring to his Son when he said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19: “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren [the Israelites, specifically from Judah], like unto thee [Moses], and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
So, we are running out of Dalai Lamas, Popes and Prophets! The prophecies on the numbers of Dalai Lamas, Popes and Restoration Prophets coming to an end coincide very well with the prophecies of the Scriptures. They all point to the nearness of the Lord’s Second Coming.
When these prophecies are added to the prophetic words of Jesus and the prophecies of many others in the Scriptures, we have even more reason to heed the scriptural warning:
“Let my disciples therefore take heed to themselves, lest at any time their hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon them unawares. For as a snare it shall come to all them who dwell on the face of the whole earth” (Luke 21:34-35).
 
 
“Even so, come, Lord Jesus”
(Revelation 22:20).
