What The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints comes out to share is that after Christ and His Apostles died that the christian church back then fell into what is called an "apostasy," or a period of spiritual darkness (or, as said by Paul, a "falling away" in 2 Thes. 2:1-3). After 1700-1800 years, approximately, God spoke again to mankind, this time to a young man named Joseph Smith Junior. Joseph was called to be a prophet and was later given God's authority, or the priesthood, by Heavenly messengers; and, under the direction of God and Jesus Christ, restored the church as originally set up upon the earth.

And ever since Joseph was called as a prophet there has always been a prophet to lead and guide The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Prophets are really important to God, as they are basically a steward/spokesman for Him to keep His church in perfect order, as He intended. When Jesus was on the earth, walking around among men, women, and children, He called twelve diciples (or Apostles, as they were so named) to run His Church. In a way all of these men were prophets. Twelve Apostles are also found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Find out more at:
