lionofgod , one thing to consider when thinking about the OT is that it can be called the book (s) of the prophets whereas the NT can be called the book (s) of the apostles.
So if I was to say that you can find something in the prophets then you would know that I am referring to the OT, and if I was to say something is found in the apostles then it is NT. I mention this because the LDS make a claim that the Savior stated something about the prophets and apostles and linked their claim to mean the prophets including Smith etc. and the apostles including the leaders after Smith etc. However, wherever something might be stated in reference to the prophets and apostles it is merely a reference to the OT and NT and not to individuals outside those two books of scripture.
Under the above definition then the Book of Mormon can not be considered to be the prophets and the Doctrine and Covenants can not be considered to be the apostles; although the LDS disagree (both are LDS texts). Just side note information that does not really matter but I thought it might be interesting to mention.
Have your read the Edras Eagle prophecy in the Apocrypha? If so then do you have an interpretation of that prophecy? There are a series of 14 feathers and then another 6. Of the 14, two are short and 12 are long. Of the six, all are short but the last two are brought back under the eagle.
Here is my interpretation which comes primarily from two men that I came across a few years ago but the final 6 have my included analysis.
From their analysis: The 1st is Pres. Hoover and the 14th is Obama. The two short feathers are Kennedy and Nixon who did not finish their terms.
Now for my concluding analysis which is that the number 4 represents the sign of the Savior, so Trump represents the four short feathers of his administration wherein 3 removals were deflected by the Savior and the 4th was not. Thus, Trump represents 4 of the 6 last short feathers. The last two are Biden/Harris that are back under the Eagle deep state.
So while the Apocrypha is not credible scripture, it does have some interesting aspects like the above mentioned prophecy.
