Keskustelu:Joseph Smith/Prophecies/Can't be killed within 5 years of August 1843

The statement attributed to be correct in quoting Joseph's words include: "and then said, putting his hand on his head, they never could kill this Child." The article proceeds to explain how the remainder of the quote is hodgepodged from several sources and mixed to inaccurately reflect the 5 year statement. However, never addressed is the statement "they never could kill this child" which is stated to be what was actually stated at the time indicated. How is this to be explained within the context of Joseph's impending martyrdom?
