Gospelspeak #92: Prophecy on War

On Christmas Day of 1832, Joseph Smith received a revelation which has come to be known as the Prophecy on War. In this prophetic utterance, the Lord described pending conflicts which were to begin with the American Civil War, culminating in the eventual time when war would be poured out upon all nations. We see in this prophecy the close correlation to the prophecy of the ancient Prophet Daniel who saw the small stone which would roll forth to consume all the kingdoms formed by man on the face of the earth. We then hear, once more, the admonition to stand in holy places, and be not moved.
