Joseph Smith

YouTube video examines Emma Smith's final testimony about Joseph Smith

November 13, 2026 at 2:03 AM MT · via YouTube / Stories of the Restoration · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

A video from the YouTube channel Stories of the Restoration examines Emma Smith's testimony about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon near the end of her life. The 31,563-view video (posted 38 hours ago) explores what Emma said about her husband's prophetic claims and the church's founding.

The video analyzes Emma's final testimony "through the lens of her life and experiences during the early history of The Church," according to its description. Emma Smith remained with the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now Community of Christ) after Joseph Smith's death rather than following Brigham Young to Utah.

Emma's testimony about the Book of Mormon's translation and Joseph Smith's role has been a long-standing topic in Mormon historical discussion.
