There have been prophets participating on this message board. In Old Testament times there were whole bands of prophets running about. Most prophets are easily forgotten. Perhaps best forgotten ,have been forgotten.

Most modern Prophets are self appointed. In the SLC LDS Church it is the corporate articles of association that determine succession, and therefore who the next LDS Prophet will be.

I mean, what came of it in the 'big picture' of things? Like, did it result in a religion that has spread across the world, albeit in pockets of acceptance/belief?

I'm wondering if there is somewhere I can go where I can see the fruits of this prophet you're referring to?

Oh, like that. Nothing came of it. He never dropped the belief but he told me that it ‘was not his time yet’ to be revealed to the world. I suppose if you want to judge him on his fruits, I did in fact speak a different language in my mission for what it’s worth
But in all seriousness, no, it was very harmful what he was doing, for everyone involved.

I think that it is important to look at the fruits that come from someone that makes a claim to speak for God. And that includes Joseph Smith.
