So now we're waiting until some guy named David becomes leader of Israel, and crowns himself king?
IANMTU, the Mormons have been caught red handed retconning prophecies to make them true.
They forget publishing original versions of prophecies in official church publications (which people have an unfortunate tendency to keep) and then when the prophecy misses the mark, they update it to fit and issue the revised version, without, of course, noting they are fudging the rules on prophesizing.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
