DAVID SMITH WILL BE PRESIDENT AND KING: April 1844. Joseph Smith prophesies that his unborn child will be called David, and will be "president and king of Israel." (cited in D. Michael Quinn, The Mormon Hierarchy, Salt Lake City, 1994 p 644)
FULFILLED?: The child was called David. However, he was never "president and king of Israel." He died in 1904, at the age of 60, having spent the last 27 years of his life in an insane asylum. He was a member of the Reorganized Church. His highest nominal position in that church was counsellor to the president, but he never actually performed any duties as such, because of his mental condition.
By the way, when Christ returns for His 1000 year reign before the Great White Throne of Judgement, HE will reign forever- not any of the Smiths.
