Government to be overthrown and wasted

Summary: On 6 May 1843, Joseph Smith said: "I prophecy in the name of the Lord God of Israel, unless the United States redress the wrongs committed upon the Saints in the state of Missouri and punish the crimes committed by her officers that in a few years the government will be utterly overthrown and wasted..." Since it is more than 150 years since this prophecy was uttered, and because the US government still exists, critics claim that this is a false prophecy.
