Not quite; If you read the link I provided you'll see how it came be in his journal--to make it easier, I'll quote it here:Tabula Rasa wrote:Well, it "magically appeared" in Wilford Woodruff's journal when he was the Prophet. Seems strange he would include something in his journal that was filled with clear false prophesies, etc. but to each his own. Makes you wonder what all else we read about in the various Prophets' journals (and other books) that is false crap...5tev3 wrote:Law of witnesses anyone? Not a good idea to trust anonymous things that magically appear.
Agree with Fransisco, the vision clearly prophesies falsely. So what if it matches things that are supposed to happen, if anyone wants something else like that I can type one up for you ;)
He was not the church President, he was the Assistant church historian and he explains that he copied a 'very strange' vision. He left a space to put in the name, but it was never filled because the author was never identified.On June 15, 1878, assistant church historian Wilford Woodruff (who later became the church’s fourth president) spent most of the day in the church Historian’s Office. Later, he recorded in his journal that while he was in the office, he “had a vary strange vision Copied.” In the same journal entry, Woodruff transcribed a copy of the peculiar vision.
