The Revelations of James J. Strang, Beaver Island Michigan Mormon LDS Strangite

Description: Are you interested in learning more about the man that Emma Smith, the sisters of Joseph Smith, John Whitmer, David Whitmer, Martin Harris, Hiram Page, John E. Page, William McLellin, William Smith, William Marks, George Miller, and other prominent church members believed to be Joseph Smith's successor? This book is for you! The Revelations of James J. Strang, compiled for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by Richard Drew and published in 1990. 86 pages. This copy is in new condition — and scarce in this condition. This is a scarce remnant which my family found stored in the church's Voree archive (Town of Burlington, Wisconsin) which was an unheated 1840s Mormon stone building about 12'x12'. It has since been stored in my family's new book warehouse. The Latter Day Saint church was founded by Joseph Smith Jr. in 1830. After Smith's death in 1844, James J. Strang was the first to claim to be his successor, with a document (letter of appointment) that survives at Yale University. A copy of the letter of appointment is published in this book! The letter of appointment convinced John Whitmer, David Whitmer, Martin Harris, Hiram Page, John E. Page, William McLellin, William Smith, Emma Smith, the sisters of Joseph Smith, William Marks, George Miller, and others that James J. Strang was the true successor to Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith Jr. had written revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants (D&C) that said he alone had the keys to receive revelations for his church, and indicated that he would eventually appoint another in his stead--but he could not ordain his own successor to a sole office, and no other person could ordain themselves to an office that they themselves lacked. James J. Strang announced that he had been ordained by angels in the same hour that Joseph Smith Jr. was killed, but he and Smith were two hundred miles apart. The ordination is published in this book! James J. Strang translated metallic plates and eleven witnesses signed testimonies that they saw the plates—none ever denied their testimony. The testimony of the Voree Plates is published in this book! Interestingly, Brigham Young was summoned to a trial and excommunicated by a high council on April 6, 1846. Young in turn claimed that he excommunicated James J. Strang, but there was never a notice for Strang to appear, nor was there ever a trial for Strang. About 12,000 people acknowledged the appointment of James J. Strang. James J. Strang was killed in 1856, just twelve years after his appointment, and the church barely survived being driven from northern Michigan by a mob at the same time. Most of Strang's followers later joined the RLDS (now known as Community of Christ) church which was formed four years after the death of James J. Strang. Chapters: 1.
