I prophesy in the name of the Lord God of Israel, unless the United States redress the wrongs committed upon the Saints in the state of Missouri and punish the crimes committed by her officers that in a few years the government will be utterly overthrown and wasted, and there will not be so much as a potsherd left. -- History of the Church, vol. 5, p. 394 -- May 1843

If Congress will not hear our petition [to form Nauvoo into a federal district] and grant us protection, they will be broken up as a government, and God shall damn them, and there shall be nothing left of them—not even a grease spot. -- Quest for Refuge, Marvin S. Hill, p. 137

For what it is worth, here are a couple of Smith's prophesies concerning the future of the U.S. that I like even more than his White Horse one. When he got on a roll with his peep stone, Joseph was not afraid to go for broke ... with somewhat humorous results.

Maybe old Joe Smith was right after all—Things are looking bad—things are handing my a thread—maybe the Mormons can fix it back to the republic were grew up in. I do know this—a sure as God made little green apples—Mitt Romney would be a much better president than old Obama. If he had won—things would be better!!!! Mitts worst day would be better than Obamas best! Say what you want—I know in my heart this is true!
