One could ask that question about any scripture version, including the KJV.

Isaiah's a good example of that...what he said would happen came about. Isaiah 53 is an excellent chapter, for example, describing the Messiah in detail.

On the other hand, here's 53 Examples where what Joseph Smith said "didn't come to pass": AndItDidn'tCometoPass

It is easy. If the prophecies are accurate and come to pass, the scripture is valid.

Sadly there are no accurate prophecies anywhere. That tells me a lot.

Some clues...
 
 
 
John 14:8-11
  8.  Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
  9.  Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father'?
 10.  Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
 11.  Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
 
 
John 10:37-38
 37.  Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does.
 38.  But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
