Joseph Smith's Prophetic Vision of Future History to O. B. Huntington

While waiting for his boots to be repaired at Dimick Huntington's shop in Nauvoo, the Prophet Joseph Smith recounted past history and then provided a detailed prophetic vision of future world events leading up to the time when the angel declares that time shall be no more. O. B. Huntington describes the experience as so vivid that it felt next to reality.

Fuller account of this event (in the witness’s own words):

On another occasion when Joseph was sitting in Dimick’s shop waiting for something, he got on a wonderful strain of relating the history of the world in the past, recounting many strange things I never had read or heard of before, and when he came to the present times he did not stop, but went on and related the principal events that will transpire in the history of the world down to the time when the angel will declare that time shall be no longer. Although I did not see the events with my natural eyes, the vividness of their appearance to my mind was next to reality. He declared the succession of events with as great clearness as one of us can repeat the events of our past lives.
