J. Golden Kimball in a conference report from October, 1930, quoting his father:

I claim not to be a prophet, but I am a son of a prophet, and I expect to give you evidence--whether you question the truth of it or not--that shall be left with you--that Heber C. Kimball was a prophet of God. President Brigham Young on more than one occasion said: "Heber is my prophet, and I love to hear him prophesy."

In May, 1868---that is sixty-two years ago--he said:

"After a while the gentiles will gather in Salt Lake City by the thousands, and this will be among the wicked cities of the world."
