Radio Free Mormon joins the usual crew (Mike, John & @NEMOTHEMORMON) as they discuss evidence for prophecies that appear to have been backdated after the events of the supposed prophecy already happened. They explore how scholars can identify and analyze backdated prophecies and their significance. Specific examples of backdated prophecies are explored in the Book of Mormon and D&C, as well as Joseph Smith's manipulation of Isaiah and the Bible to support his claims.  LDS Discussion Essay on Backdating Prophecy: https://www.ldsdiscussions.com/backdating LDS Discussions Series on Revelation in Mormonism: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxq5opj6GqOACG_xU4IZiQxnhcoqlCrdI CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:08:45 What is a backdated prophecy? 00:16:10 How scholars can pinpoint a backdated prophecy 00:20:25 The Gospel Writers Backdated Both Prophecy AND Fulfillment of Prophecy 00:27:15 The Martin Harris visit to Charles Anthon 00:31:40 Joseph Smith Uses Isaiah to Backdate the Charles Anthon Visit 00:37:45 Joseph Smith Misuses Isaiah to Backdate the Prophecy 00:41:30 But Joseph Smith Didn’t Stop There in Rewriting Isaiah 29 00:50:15 Joseph Smith Then Rewrites the Anthon Visit in 1838 01:05:45 The Charles Anthon Visit Became Much Grander in 1838 01:14:30 A second Martin Harris account 01:17:15 A Few Final Thoughts on the Anthon Visit 1:26:10 The Lost 116 Pages 01:41:15 The Specific Prophecies in 1 Nephi 01:47:55 A quick Look at the Specific Prophecies in the Book of Mormon 01:53:00 Nephi’s Prophecy of the Book of Mormon’s Ending After It Was Written 02:12:00 The Book of Mormon Predicts US History Through Joseph’s Lifetime 02:26:00 Joseph Smith creates a prophecy about Joseph Smith in the BoM 02:33:30 Joseph Smith Writes Himself into the Bible via JST 02:37:25 Joseph Smith’s Name Will Be Had For Good and Evil 02:44:00 D&C 2 and Elijah Restoring the Priesthood 02:47:30 Joseph Smith’s Civil War Prophecy 02:52:45 The Problems with Joseph’s Civil War Revelation 02:54:45 Backdated Prophecies in Today’s LDS Church 02:09:00 “Prophets see around corners” 03:00:00 Even Nelson Admits That He Had No Idea COVID Was Coming 03:08:45 Why Backdated Prophecies Matter 03:11:00 Joseph Smith Left His Fingerprints All Over the Book of Mormon 03:13:30 The Book of Mormon is Unaware of Any Post 1829 Doctrines Episode Show Notes: https://www.mormonstories.org/podcast/backdated-prophecies/ LDS Discussions Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxq5opj6GqOB7J1n6pMmdUSezxcLfsced LDS Discussions Revelation Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxq5opj6GqOB7J1n6pMmdUSezxcLfsced _________________________ LDS Discussions is made possible by generous donors!
