. . . And while they were persecuting and reviling me
and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely,
my heart was asking, “ Why persecute me for telling
the truth ? I have actually seen a vision ; and who am
I that I can withstand God, or why does the world
think to make me deny what I have actually seen ?
For I had seen a vision ; I knew it, and I knew that
God knew it, and I could not deny it, neither dared I
do it ; . . . and come under condemnation.” * |

Joseph, admit that you
lied about your visions
and we ‛ll spare you ! |

But I could not deny that I had received
messages from God for all the people of the
earth. I was persecuted throughout my life
for making these claims. I was even tarred
and feathered in 1832, but I would make no
denial. |
