Joseph Smith and His Royal Lineage : A Blood Descendant of Jesus Christ
-
R.M. Fowler & AdvancePrint

"The ancient Greek definition for Desposyni means of the Master. This is a hollowed word used to describe the sacred legacy reserved exclusively for those who descended from the Royal House of Jesus Christ. The Doctrine and Covenants specifically states that Joseph Smith was a descendant of Jesse, father of King David of the Old Testament. The Savior was from the same Royal Bloodline. Is there evidence that Joseph Smith was a direct descendant of The Master? "President Lorenzo Snow said, while speaking to a group of General Authorities: There are those in this audience who are decendants of the old Twelve Apostles and shall I say it, yes, descendants of the Savior Himself. His seed is represented in this body of men "The early church leaders believed that the Savior of mankind had seed. Starting from the ancient prophets through the Old and New Testament apostasies, this study follows the thread of evidence from the Dark Ages into the history of the Desposyni. Volume I and II trace the secular past as well as the scriptural evidence which suggests that Joseph Smith was, indeed, a blood descendant of Jesus Christ. This study will give you an entirely new dimension of the gospel that will not only strengthen but reinforce your testimony of the latter-day seer and his special calling. Indeed, Joseph Smith was more than a prophet he was the rightful heir to the Royal Priesthood in these, the Last Days, as prophesied by the ancients." [abstract from publisher]
