14-Year Cycles - Part 7 - Joseph Smith

Joseph Smith's ministry offers an interesting take on this theme.  From 1830-1837, there was general peace and things were for the most part going pretty well.  Then in 1837 the Kirtland Safety Society collapsed and things went downhill from there until his death in 1844.
