Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter-day Saint movement, is viewed by the movement's adherents as a prophet in the tradition of the ancient prophets recorded in the Bible. During his life, Smith made several prophecies, many documented in the Doctrine and Covenants, a book of scripture in several of the movement's denominations.
Mainstream sources note Smith's prophecies failed to come true.[1][2][3] After Smith famously gave a public prophecy that Missouri Governor Boggs would be violently killed within a year, Boggs was shot in an assassination attempt; Multiple Smith confidants reported firsthand knowledge that Smith had attempted to have Boggs killed./
