Here are at least 3, one going back to an official statement clear back in 1918. In General Conference, October 1918, Joseph F. Smith made the following comments:

ALL: Ripliancum, a Mormon apologist, cites one Lds "prophet" at a general conference (1918). My posts #3 & #4 -- coupled with post #1 -- references four Lds "prophets" making statements spanning over 50 years! (1912-->1963)

In fact, Rip cites Joseph F. Smith's 1918 statement...but note Joseph F. Smith was on both sides of the fence on this one...'Cause at the October 1912 General Conference, Joseph F. Smith said:

“Joseph Smith... predicted that the time would come, ‘when the Constitution of our country would hang as it were by a thread, and that the Latter-day Saints above all other people in the world would come to the rescue.” - Prophet Joseph F. Smith, Conference Report, October 1912, p. 11

And: "Now, these are the commandments of God, the principles contained in these commandments of the great Eternal are the principles that underly the Constitution of our country and all just laws. Joseph Smith, the prophet, was inspired to affirm and ratify this truth, and he further predicted that the time would come, when the Constitution of our country would hang as it were by a thread, and that the Latter-day Saints above all other people in the world would come to the rescue of that great and glorious palladium of our liberty.” - Prophet Joseph F. Smith, Conference Report, October 1912, p. 11

Joseph F. Smith may have indeed "changed his mind" about all that...or, perhaps since he was only a month away from both his 80th birthday and his death -- and was about to begin having Halloween nightmares about seeing dead people walk around his place later that month in October of 1918...perhaps he wasn't as "lucid" as earlier in his life.

And not a single one of your references validate the WHite Horse Prophecy, but only the truth that it stole from, that the Constitution will indeed hang by a thread and be saved by members of the church among others.

No where do you state in your snippets that the WHP is true, nor that Mitt is the one.

Interpret as you wish, the truth is out.
