NOTE

God has made us a kingdom by Vickie Cleverley Speek

The research reflects on the beliefs of the Strangite community, particularly their anticipation of a third prophet succeeding Joseph Smith and James Strang. A noteworthy theory suggests that this third prophet could be the resurrected forms of Smith and Strang, who would serve alongside Jesus Christ as his counselors. This alignment underscores a unique perspective within Strangite theology, rooted in a distinct and symmetrical view of leadership in the kingdom of God. Additionally, Vickie Cleverley Speek's biography of James Strang is highlighted as an essential resource, detailing Strang's life and the significant impact of his plural marriages, particularly noting that all his plural wives were pregnant at his death. This aspect reveals how Strang's legacy continues through his descendants, some of whom are involved in the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, thereby illustrating his enduring influence and the complex dynamics within his familial and religious community.
