Said the church in an official statement, “Perhaps no other passage in the revelations of the Lord in this dispensation has given rise to so much speculation as this one.” And then they attempt to diffuse, or negate, what the scriptures say in D&C 85—in essence saying to the latter-day saints, “move along… there’s nothing to see here.” Or, in their words, the 85th section of the Doctrine & Covenants is to “be considered as having passed away and the whole incident of the prophecy closed.” I (Kelly) picked up John’s book with speculation, after writing and assembling that which is contained in this book hereafter. I have come to realize that the doctrines of Christ are rare jewels tucked away and hidden beneath the ground of a vast Sahara-like desert made up of the precepts of men. Yet as I read, I was filled with great joy, and marveled that someone knew these identical truths back in the early 1900’s. At first, however, my speculation rose sharply after reading the preface to his book—written eight years after the book’s release—in which this man testifies that during the course of printing and distributing his work, the Savior Jesus Christ appeared to him three times! Because of the writing thus contained in John Tanner Clark’s The One Mighty and Strong, I now believe these tremendous witnesses, and am honored that our two books are so similar in theme and doctrines. His book is true. Below is his foreword. The book is available on Amazon.com. Preface
