15 After I had retired to the place where I had previously designed to go,
having looked around me, and finding myself alone,
I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God.
I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was a upon by some power
which entirely overcame me, and had such an astonishing influence over me
as to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. Thick b gathered around me,
and it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction.
...it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction.You were; JS; you were.
Just not at that appointed time.
But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride, shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name of strange gods, shall be slain.
(Deuteronomy 18:20)
I have often wondered if Smith made the whole thing up or was visited by demons in that grove.
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
