Mormon Founder Joseph Smith Prophesies

This prophecy was spoken by Joseph Smith in 1835, and recorded by Oliver Cowdery:

President Smith then stated that the meeting had been called, because God had commanded it; and it was made known to him by vision and by the Holy Spirit... it was the will of God that they should be ordained to the ministry and go forth to prune the vineyard for the last time, for the coming of the Lord, which was nigh — even fifty six years should wind up the scene. (History of the Church, Vol. 2, pg. 182).

The fifty-six years were passed by 1891.
