The Joseph Smith Translation (JST) is the worse translation of the Biblical text. For Joseph Smith took the already translated King James Version Bible (KJV) to make it. This is when over 3410+ verses were willfully changed according to his liking. This is easily seen when looking at the Book of Revelation, namely Revelation 12:7. In this one verse the sentence, “and the dragon fought and his angels” (KJV) was changed to “and the dragon and his angels fought against Michael” (JST). What is happening here? The word “fought” was moved after the word “angels”. The phrase, “against Michael” was added to the ending of the verse. What is the problem with doing all this? For one, in the KJV, the dragon is leading the charge with the angels behind him. Where in the JST, the dragon and the angels are simply fighting together. Also, in the KJV, we have Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon and his angelic hosts, where in the JST, Michael alone is fighting against the dragon and his angelic hosts. Does this change things? Absolutely. The story in verse 7 is no longer the same. See below for details…
Revelation 12:7 (KJV)
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 12:7 (Joseph Smith Translation)
7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought against Michael.
So what happens when a person like Joseph Smith comes along and willfully changes the Biblical text to his liking? People like this have no respect for God and His words, and therefore, without repenting, they die and go straight to hell. And if that person’s spirit is now in hell, that means there is no second chances to get right with God and go to heaven. Think of this as going to prison for life without bail, but with the death penalty coming later. You heard that right, after judgment, these people are sent off into a lake of fire that actually kills their resurrected bodies. This is why it is called the second death. To die in this life can be painful, but to die in the lake of fire will be most excruciating thing ever. But what about our spirits? Those will continue like in hell, and as in hell, the spirit will suffer even more so then ever before. Even the smoke of their torment will ascend up unto the heavens. Therefore, please know that Joseph Smith is suffering in hell right now as we speak. His name is not in the Lamb’s book of life, and God’s plagues are upon him. If only the Mormon people knew this truth. See below for details…
“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Revelation 22:18-19)
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:12-15)
