He was also asked to build a temple in Missouri and so far this prophecy has only yielded a giant corkscrew. Silly Wendy, let the women keep silent in the churches.
In the face of madness, rationality has no power - Xiao Wang, US historiographer, 2287 AD.
Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

Sure, why not?
Thy mind, O man! if thou wilt lead a soul unto salvation, must stretch as high as the utmost heavens, and search into and contemplate the darkest abyss, and the broad expanse of eternity—thou must commune with God. - Joseph Smith
Circular windows, how could Joseph Smith have known...
Pretty impressive to see the visions of J.R.R. Tolkien, who would not publish The Hobbit until over a hundred years later.
There you go. This proves that the story of Bilbo and Bag End are true, given that Smith's use of circular windows for (not) the first time predicts and confirms the existence of the same in hobbit huts.

And there was absolutely no chance whatsoever that Joseph Smith could have come across drawings of European cathedrals with circular windows (some dating back to the 10th century).
Tthey were called oculus and can be found at the Basilica di Santo Stefano al Monte Celio, in Rome, from the 5th Century, as well as the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, also in Rome and also from the 5th Century. Joseph may have been inspired but just 1300 years too late.

Joseph knew the Lord Himself was a true architect of the temple.
When Weeks sought references for his next project, did Joseph say, "well he didn't do nothing. It was the Lord who designed it. Although I will add he tried to rebel against the Lord that was guiding him when he left out round windows. But I set him straight. game over for him. But you could hire him. I mean I don't know what he can do for you...but, you never know. Magic happens...I used to see buried treasure all the time."
