"Thus, the authorities of the Church have anticipated the raising up of a leader who will guide the Saints in their establishment of New Jerusalem, and several have expressed the thought that this person may be Joseph Smith as a resurrected being.
Yup, the Second Coming of Joseph Smith!!!

“Will Joseph Smith’s Second Coming occur in 2014?”
Uh, no.

Matt 24:36
No. He will be staying buried until the return of Jesus Christ to judge him.
