During Zion's Camp's march to Missouri in 1834, after considerable wet weather, Joseph Smith gathered the men in their tent in Illinois and made a precise prophecy. Levi Hancock recorded it:

'I want you to remember what I say to you. The Lord is going to give us dry weather now until we get through. He has given rains that there might be water on the prairies. You will see the movings of the Lord in our favor all the way through.'

Levi confirmed that the prophecy was fulfilled: 'It began to be very pleasant and soon we entered on the wide prairies...' The camp of 205 men then continued their march westward under favorable conditions. Levi additionally noted: 'We had now in our camp two hundred and five and truly we had seen the hand of God in our favor all the way.'
