Joseph Smith's Prophecy of the Civil War and the Blood and Sorrow of his Murderers

“One of them replied that he appeared to be the very opposite; but, he added, insultingly: "We cannot tell what is in your heart." To this the Prophet responded: "Very true, gentlemen, you cannot see what is in my heart, and you are therefore unable to judge me, or my intentions; but I can see what is in your hearts, aud will tell you what I see. I can see you thirst for blood, and nothing but my blood will satisfy you. It is not for crime of any description that I and my brethren are thus continually persecuted and harassed by our enemies, but there are other motives, and some of them I have expressed, so far as relates to myself; and inasmuch as you and the people thirst for blood, I prophesy, in the name of the Lord, that you shall witness scenes of blood and sorrow to your entire satisfaction. Your souls shall be perfectly satiated with blood, and many of you who are now present shall have an opportunity to face the cannon's mouth from sources you think not of; and those people that desire this great evil upon me and my brethren, shall be filled with regret and sorrow because of the scenes of desolation and distress that await them. They shall look for peace and shall not be able to find it." — Millennial Star 77:28”
