I can see why you are so adamant in believing your peepstone prophet was a messenger for spiritual things. And you have a fleet of Momronism Apologetics workers fabricating daily to continue the ruse so you can feel confident if an uncomfortable truth surfaces about your peepstone revelator (like his eleven polyandry unions out of so many more marriages while remaining married to Emma). But none of the fancy turns of data at the source you linked even comes close to the hillarity of the now touted excuse give when the truth about the ‘book of abraham’ and the actual texts on the Egyptian papri is told. THAT is one funny twist! It almost equals the Mormonism Apologetics amusing explanation for the eight hundred plus words Smith added at the end of the King Jmaes Bible Book of Genesis, in which he fabricated a prophecy of his ‘coming in these latter days.’

Poor old Emma!  Warned by GOD Himself to forgive ol' Joe; or ELSE!!!!
 

 
THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 132
 
  51–57, Emma Smith is counseled (commanded) to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
 
 
  51 Verily, I say unto you: A commandment I give unto mine handmaid, Emma Smith, your wife, whom I have given unto you, that she stay herself and partake not of that which I commanded you to offer unto her; for I did it, saith the Lord, to aprove you all, as I did Abraham, and that I might require an offering at your hand, by covenant and sacrifice.
  52 And let mine handmaid, Emma Smith, areceive all those that have been given unto my servant Joseph, and who are virtuous and pure before me; and those who are not pure, and have said they were pure, shall be destroyed, saith the Lord God.
  53 For I am the Lord thy God, and ye shall obey my voice; and I give unto my servant Joseph that he shall be made ruler over many things; for he hath been afaithful over a few things, and from henceforth I will strengthen him.
  54 And I command mine handmaid, Emma Smith, to abide and acleave unto my servant Joseph, and to none else. But if she will not abide this commandment she shall be bdestroyed, saith the Lord; for I am the Lord thy God, and will destroy her if she abide not in my law.
  55 But if she will not abide this commandment, then shall my servant Joseph do all things for her, even as he hath said; and I will bless him and multiply him and give unto him an ahundredfold in this world, of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, houses and lands, wives and children, and crowns of beternal lives in the eternal worlds.
  56 And again, verily I say, let mine handmaid aforgive my servant Joseph his trespasses; and then shall she be forgiven her trespasses, wherein she has trespassed against me; and I, the Lord thy God, will bless her, and multiply her, and make her heart to brejoice.
 
 

Whatever HAPPENED to Emma???  
 
 No; she WASN'T destroyed but stayed behind in Missouri to help with the REFORMED LDS organization; which never DID go along with the ETERNAL COVENANT from GOD Himself to take MULTIPLE wives.
