THE DEATH OF JOSEPH SMITH |
| La history of José's death Smith and of the facts that surrounded it, it not provides us abundant data that are we very useful, alone to obtain a point of view about their death, different to which have taught us, but rather it is also good us to understand the origin of the differences that there is among you practice them current of specific doctrinal points and that written on those same topics. |
But if we look for carefully we will see that,
what is documented clearly by their own hand is that the Mr. he/she had
for José other plans different to what happened historically; that
J.S. he/she died in the date in that should not make it, and that their
mission was unconcluded.
In the prophet's Teachings José Smith",
in the p. 469 find out the following declaration of Hyrum Smith some days
before the murder of J.S.:
| "A group of men is looking for my brother José to kill him, and the Mr. it has admonished it to escape to the rocky mountains to save its life." |
We see that this revelation of the Mr. to J.S.
it contains 3 clear and different elements, and that when being able to
them to separate, they help us to a better understanding of that that The
Mr. he/she had in mind with regard to the mission of J.S. and the Kingdom.

Then with surprise for many of us that we believed in another version for innocence and disinformation and we had it for the official history, or that we didn't simply have any completely defined one, we find out that in no way he/she was said to J.S. that he/she stayed to be died, or he/she was given the ofrendar opportunity their life, but rather he/she was ordered him to save her escaping toward the mountains.
He/she was not asked to be a martyr, their death
was not looked for, because its task, its life was not concluded it was
still necessary, it should be saved, there were other and more plans for
him
Something of this you can also visualize when
April of 1843 J.S 2. he/she received in answer of the Mr. to his question
this declaration registered in:
DyC 130.
15. José, my son, if you live
until being eighty five years of age old, you will see the face of the
Man's Son......
Of this we can analyze:
|
Before leaving he/she spoke these words with the
Hnos.:
| "To the only ones that want it is Hyrum and me; therefore, say to all that continue with their matters, but that they don't meet in groups but rather they are dispersed. It doesn't fit doubt that they will come here to look for us. Leave them that look for; they didn't damage to you neither your property, not even a hair of the head. We will spend the river tonight and we will leave to the west." |
It crossed the river during the night. The following morning a group of men arrives to stop J.S.; they didn't find it, but yes they were able to intimidate the heart of the weak ones.
Getting ready to leave, an afternoon, the Hno
arrived. Rockwell, with Emma's letter Smith in which she begged him that
returns to Nauvoo?; and the Hno. Did Cahoon communicate him what the troops
had thought to make and did it urge it to that surrendered?, being based
in that the governor the word had given, that it would protect it while
it was judged. However the prophet knew that I/you/he/she could not trust
the governor's word. Little time before had trusted the Hno. Marklam:
| "if they stopped again, to me and Hyrum, we would be murdered or it was not me prophet of God; and that he/she wanted that Hyrum lived to avenge my blood." |
The Hnos. Did Cahoon, Wasson and Kimball accuse cowardice José to want to abandon to the town?, and did they add that it would be destroyed their property and would they be left without house or coat. They also accused him of being as the shepherd of the fable that escapes before the presence of the wolves, and he/she leaves alone to the sheep so that they are devoured. It was threatened this way in spite of what he had declared them, before leaving.
Before all this pressure, alone J.S hit upon to
answer:
| " If my life doesn't have any value for my friends, does no value have for me?" |
Here it is where J.S. he/she realized that it was totally alone, and he/she decided to return. Didn't their wife support him? did her siblings accuse him of coward?, and did they prefer that she surrendered to save her own hide? did her own brother believe innocently that God would protect them, without ending up understanding that so that that was possible the same one Mr. he/she should deny, to contradict and to reject its own word that He had revealed previously.
Evidently H.S, believed to advise to its brother to make a decision seemingly full with trust in God, faith, value and anger, when in honor to the truth what really advised disobedience went to a revelation and the distrust in the plans of God. Not taking the warning seriously of escaping to save the life; for him, that revealed by The Mr. to their brother, did he/she already have little value?
In definitive it moved away their support of the difficult and valiant position that their brother tried deathly to defend who didn't want in no way to impose it but rather it looked for the consent and he left liberated to the own decision of each one by means of questions whose answers knew, perhaps better than anybody. But finally the concept moralist of these afraid and cowardly siblings, family and etc. it prevailed about The Truth that the skies tried to settle down through this man.
In general, there was not nobody that took the
necessity to maintain the oracle of God with life seriously. Their life
and didn't their blood have value for anybody?. Their personal securities
were more important than the establishment of Zion. Zion could wait, now
they were first, our fears and necessities. That of giving our life if
was necessary", he/she became a lie; it was alone a theoretical declaration
whose practice was impossible to carry out in that moment.
This is the history from the " betrayal " to J.S. written by their own hand that in their final humility, as worthy as that of the Saviour, he/she didn't cheer up to leave accusation some to you participate them of the same one, but rather with their silence it sought to give the pardon for the ignorance of those that didn't know that they made.
But happily in spite of these confused feelings of loyalty to their friends on the part of José, in spite of the tragedy in itself, it was not possible to hide the necessary information so that we could read it freely and to end up doing with our own eyes the facts that condemn people that we believed completely innocent for their eloquence and free of all responsibility in the murder of J. Smith.
We can say in consequence that José's death
was not, neither in the form neither in the opportune time, according to
that wanted by the skies, but rather it was the product of the support
lack rather of his, the lack of love of those that he loved, of the little
one and anything of understanding of those that surrounded it who didn't
reach to notice the value of the historical moments that played them to
live, and of the absence of a valiant testimony of who then paradoxically,
they continued directing the destinations of this church (Hno. Kimball,
then consultant of B. Young), and who queerly recovered that lost courage,
to accept in their hands the dangerous positions that filled them with
honor and glory.
But the scamps as they make it most of the criminals, they leave signs for the one on the way to their bad steps, exactly in the belief that nobody can see them. He/she swims better to explain this negligence that the proverb that he/she says: that a fool believes that all the other ones, are also silly."
It can accuse them of silly, because so that not
that they left prints of their perversions, they should have erased or
to have made disappear the writings, just as they are making it their astute
pupils of nowadays.
As José it left before that foreseen he/she could not leave resolved the matter of their succession. He/she could not leave to other their power like it prescribed the law given by the Mr. to the same José in DyC 43.
In these writings the Mr. it prescribes a law of transfer of the mantel just as it had been made in the antiquity by Moisés when giving Joshua their power, and also for Elías when leaving the mantel to Elíseo; both for their own hand
DyC 43
3. And this will know of sure that you been not named to any other one so that he/she receives revelations and commandments, until he is taken, if he/she perseveres in me.
4. But of certain, of certain I tell you that any other one will be named to this gift but for him; because if him removed fuere, he/she won't have to be able to but to name another in their place.
5. And this will be you for law: you won't receive as revelations and commandments the teachings from none that is presented before you";
6. and this gives it to you so that you are not deceived, and so that you know that they don't belong to me.
7. Because truly I tell you that the
one that is ordered by me will enter for the door and it will be ordered
as I have told you before......
That is to say that the history of the succession of Brigham Young is incompatible with the writings, since him or who fuere the receiver of the power that José had, he should receive it from him same and to be ordered of this such way which like it is written in these passages of the law, and I don't eat the he made this church for consultations with the deads (Spiritism); to what added him very subjective and not very clear interpretations, to solve the topic of the succession, and to decide among Signey Rigdon and Brigham Young.

19. And when you dijeren: do you ask to the evocadoresde spirits and the fortune-tellers that suusurran and do they speak among teeth, do say: doesn't it owe a town to consult to their God? For the alive ones one will go to you dead?
And if we annul the Law for not completing it,
like we can make ourselves defender or representative of the same law that
we violate?.
Had their presence helped?
Perhaps yes, perhaps not. That that if we can give for insurance it is that the moment more difficult of José's life, in the moment in that he had to decide if it continued with life or not; in the moment in that he wondered, if to protect their life made some sense for somebody; when he could see that none of those that surrounded it trusted the promises of the sincerely Mr.. In that moment it was without the men that perhaps could have helped him more than nobody to control this difficult situation, the twelve apostles.
The men that it was supposed of more spiritual character, those that could have sustained José's arms, for mainly interest, the men that would have the capacity, to believe to José, and to accept that the fact of escaping was not cowardice but necessity, and that the best way to help to the church, to its family and the humanity everything, and that it was part of the plan of the Mr., and to have helped José to understand the sense of its own life, exactly they were not.
This in no way constitutes an accusation neither to the apostles neither J.S., neither to the system, but rather we will expose it like test and testimony to explain to us another adulterated doctrine
Because?
Because they were preaching the gospel to the nations, calling to the men to the Zion that was been to form.
And that with this?
Were they making something incorrect?
No! This is good us to examine another doctrine point.
We refer to a doctrine that was practiced according
to the writings in that moment, and for contrast we can see that at the
present time it is not according to the writings.
That it prevented him to make it?. Didn't he/she realize?
Because to send mature, married men and with children to the one who to raise and to maintain?
There were not young boys?
Because the Mr., did he/she insist in those difficult times, in separating their children's parents, husbands of their wives?.
The family maybe was not the most important thing, just as he/she becomes trained now?
Because so much difference with the systems that are practiced at the present time?
Are we more modern? Were those false doctrines, and now we do have the true doctrine?
The men of last century were not prepared, to receive the correct way?"
Does it continue being the same God of last century?
When were these changes made?
Who did authorize them?
Where is the document that authorization gives
to fellow man change?
Allow us to stand out that in this historical fact, it demonstrates us with stability that the preaching of the gospel is not responsibility of anyone, but rather, the same as in the church of the first Christian, in which Christ not sent to his own apostles to other, as well as the Christian church of the nefitas, I eat likewise in the Christian church of the times of J.S. those that were to the head, the same apostles were still the calls and the only ones that could take this special mission of the priesthood.
That? That this didn't teach it to him this way?
Of that we are speaking.
That he/she made Pablo traveling for everything places and in the whole time of their life, if the era an apostle?
Because he/she didn't stay comfortably in Jerusalem and did they send some 20 year-old pibe? The same thing is not?
The word Old man (*Ëlder) does something mean for you?
For you es lo mismo?.
Because it not stops God!.
Regrettably (for the criminals (or murderers for the Mr.) that have for shepherds), the Mr. it has expressed it with too much clarity in the writings. And they are plentiful in data in this respect. And we can read them with our own eyes. Logically, if and so alone if we read them!! When The Mr. Old man says, he doesn't mean another thing that old man, doesn't mean young boys, boy, women, children, girls, alone he means and he refers to the adults, to the biggest, to those of more age.
That such if we teach to the Mr., like the occupations of the priesthood should be called, according to our own way? Maybe the he/she doesn't know as making it and should we explain to him that Old man said when boys children should have said, perhaps?. .......................
............................... . We are Hard!!
Very hard!!
To understand this, it is not necessary at least to read the writings. If not with alone to remember something that should have listened in some class of the current church of insurance.
He/she doesn't maybe remember to have listened that in the time of J.S. people that was baptized in Europe, or where it is that they were these preachers, he/she didn't stay in their origin country; it tried to travel, crossing the ocean in ships, traveling long roads, crossing lands with horses, carts, etc. and to arrive to Kirtland, Nauvoo, or where fuere that the saints congregated?
Because?
Were they colonizing the United States?
Did they come to make the America?
Perhaps this is what suggested us our crazy head,
or what some sleepless shepherd has told us.
1COR 15
33. You don't allow yourselves to deceive;
the bad conversations corrupt the good customs.
NO!. They didn't come for reasons of this temporary life. They were not pioneer settlers, they felt not even immigrant. They had a more high, durable and eternal objective. They came to Zion. To a refuge city. To help to build the celestial city, a New Jerusalem.
They responded to what in that time the old men
preached him (élderes), for expressed commandment on behalf of the
Mr. given to J.S. in 1831 and written in the section 133., in the one that
are sent to the men of their church and those of the whole town, to escape
from Babylon (not to confuse with London neither with Europe, still when
they look like each other) to Zion (not to confuse with New York and much
less with North America, still when he doesn't find). They were not ordered
to go to the Great America. But going to the body where they will join
the eagles" (José Smith-Mateo 27)
It is not the same Americanism that Zionism.
It is not the same capitalism that Christianity.
Babylon doesn't have anything of Jerusalem.
If it had been the same thing in that time", José Smith had not been murdered.
And I say in that time", because in this time, now if it is the same thing", and it is for that reason that none of us neither we are pursued neither we die because of Christ's testimony
One of two or, have the boys from Babylon become
good (?) or we became silly as them.
DyC 133
5. Salid of Babylon. Clean thirst what you take the glasses of the Mr..
7. If, of certain I tell you another time, the time has arrived when the voice of the Mr. he/she goes to you: Salid of Babylon; you congregate you of among the nations, of the four winds, from an end of the sky until the other one.
8. Send to the Elderes (Old men) of my church to the nations that are far; to the islands of the sea; you send to the foreign countries; you call to all the nations, firstly to the gentile ones and then to the Jews.
9. And there am here, this it will be their cry and the voice of the
Mr. to all town: you Go to the earth of Zion so that they get wider the
boundaries of my town, and their stakes be strengthened, and Zion can extend
until the immediate regions.
