The First Horseman

I never saw a vision. I never saw an angel. I never had a near death experience. I want that stated plainly before anything else, because it is the accusation I hear most often, and it is not true.

What did happen started at 3:30 in the morning in December of 2021, when I felt prompted to read the book of Revelation. That began a study that has not stopped since.

In this first episode I tell the whole story. The year of study. The heart condition called bigeminy that left me unable to walk to the mailbox without stopping. The night of November 22, 2022, when I fell out of bed unable to breathe, prayed harder than I have ever prayed, and instead of relief received two words I did not ask for and did not want.

I asked five times for permission to talk about it. Five times the answer was no. So for two years I studied and said nothing.

Then on December 23, 2024, the instruction changed to publish it to the world.

I also talk about the morning in January 2025 when I jumped back from my scripture table and said out loud to an empty room, "I can't publish that." About calling my stake executive secretary the same day, and what my stake president told me. About four months of the hardest and best work of my life at 3:30 every morning. And about February 9, 2026, when I finally understood what the twelfth chapter of Revelation is actually about, and why that turned this from an interesting study into a rescue mission.

This episode is the foundation. Everything else I have to say builds on it.

In this episode:

• Why I was reading Revelation at 3:30 in the morning
• The heart condition, and the night I could not breathe
• Two words, and no explanation
• Five requests, five refusals, two years of silence
• December 23, 2024
• The morning I said I cannot publish that
• Why I called my stake president, and what he said
• The marred servant of Isaiah 52
• Why this became a rescue mission

My dear friends, my name is Kelly Smith
I want to welcome you to my first podcast
here on the First Horseman
and I wanted to talk a little bit about
how all this came about
because this has been an astonishing experience
and I'm just gonna tell my story and
and you can go from there
I had in December 2021
I woke up about 3:30 in the morning
I don't remember the day and I felt
spirit tell me to read the book of revelation
that's a pretty tough read
for this early in the morning
but
I pulled out my phone and started thumbing through it
half asleep and
and I was reading the chapters
and all of a sudden I came across something
I don't remember that
and that started a study of the book
that continues to this day
and I went through that whole year of
studying things I'd
I have about 16 commentaries on revelation
I'm looking at them trying to absorb as much as I can
and I learned a lot of things
in November 2022
I decided to make a video about what I had learned
and I put it all together
took me quite a while to do
I did it on revelation and a book
revelation the things I'd learned
and I uploaded it to YouTube and
and went from there but I
I really wasn't happy very much with the video
it was
um not very good
I had I was very sick with a thing called bigeminy
which is a heart condition that 
I had developed over the couple years
I didn't know what at the time
what caused it but I eventually found the cause
and I got cured from it but during this time
I was very very sick
and one way to think of it
this is not exactly correct
but it's like the it's a PVC issue
so the oxygen from my lungs is met with a closed valve
and so I
I was instantly out of breath
no matter what I do did
I couldn't walk to the mailbox without stopping
I had to getting into bed
I was out of breath for five minutes
and sometimes I'd have
walk up this one flight of stairs
would take me an entire minute to get up one flight
something normally
like what
five seconds maybe
so it was very debilitating
I wasn't too happy with the video
I looked at it and realized
I have so much more to say
I have things I wanna do and it just took me forever
and I was very frustrated
so I took Revelation Chapter 12
the Joseph Smith translation
I had the whole thing all laid out on a Powerpoint
I had it all animated
I was gonna go over every single word of revelation
Chapter 12
had it all done ready to go at 10:30
at night and I thought
I'm gonna sleep on this
see what I think about in the morning
and so I went to bed
about 4 o'clock in the morning on November 22nd, 2022
I woke up with a massive by Gemini attack
my heart was pounding my chest was so tight
I couldn't breathe and I literally fell out of my bed
I scrambled to my knees and got to the edge of my bed
and I just started praying
like I had never prayed in my life
I prayed and I said god
please touch my heart heal me
I've been to multiple doctors and hospitals
they've never figured out what
what this is I've got
I can't breathe
I don't know what to do my ablation isn't till February
this is November and I can't breathe
please father
touch my heart heal me
and all of a sudden
my mind got diverted to my Powerpoint
why am I thinking about my Powerpoint?
I don't care about my Powerpoint
I can't breathe
and the words Donald Trump came to me
I didn't see them I didn't hear them
I knew them and I knew them
more than if there had been a neon sign of his name
right in front of me I jumped up off my knees and out loud
said What?
What does Donald Trump have anything to do with
Revelation Chapter 12?
no answer
I thought wow
but I noticed something
my heart was not pounding
my chest was not tight I was breathing perfectly normal
and I was as calm as could be
and I just thought what just happened
next morning I told a friend of mine
he didn't believe me says
you can't tell anybody that
I know but I wanted to tell people about it
about a week later I said
father I wanna make a video about what you've taught me
and he goes no
and I wanna make something perfectly clear here
I never saw any visions I never saw any angels
I never had didn't have a near death experience
I I
everything I tell you when I said I see something
I learned something I heard something
it's all just the way the spirit works in your mind
from reading and pondering
of following the the principles that
the way god speaks to people
I don't want to claim any special thing
of everybody else
that I had some vision of some angel or something
I want to make that very clear
so whenever I say that just recognize that's what I
that's what I mean
so he said no I asked him five times
and five times he said no
I could not make a video so I interpreted it
that I was not supposed to talk to anybody
I talked to a few people just personally
but I didn't go online I didn't say anything about it
and I just kept learning and learning and over the next
two years I learned a lot
and like I said I have all these books on revelation
but I have more commentaries on Isaiah
and I just learned all kinds of things
and then in November 2024
I realized
I want to make a self published book
I can give to my family I want my kids
my grandkids my ancestors
they can read about this during the millennium
recognize what I've learned
what I've been taught
so I started assembling everything together
I had notebooks all over the place
I had it in my phone I had it on my computer
I had it in in journals
I had it on posted notes on my reading table everything
I had all stuff all over the place
and then in December 2023
December sorry
December 23rd, 2024 God said
publish it to the world
what
oh wait a minute
that's a whole different matter now
it's one thing to publish it to your family
it's a whole another thing to publish it to the world
but I knew what I had to do
so I gathered everything together
and then I had the most marvelous thing
god poured into my soul things I had never heard
I had never read I had never seen from anyone
and I come to this computer with this microphone
right here and I
every morning he'd wake me up at 3:30 in the morning
and I dictate here a lot of mostly dictate
sometimes I'd write sometimes I'd do it on my phone
sometimes I'd type whatever it was wherever I was
and I learned over the years
whenever I felt that
to write it down right then and there
not wait
and so most of the time you'd wake me up at 3:30
I'd come down here dictating to this microphone
and it was amazing
it was hard hard work
cause I really had to concentrate on what it was
and I
I had never heard these things before
and I started putting them all in there
and I kept reading and
this happened to all three four five six
seven hours a day I would do this and I kept reading
I'd go to my scripture table
out there in the other room
and I would get my scriptures out and read them
and in January
somewhere around January 15th
I don't know the date
I'm reading Revelation Chapter 12 now
the reminder this has been two years and two months
after my initial thing I've outlined revelation
now I'm reading it again and all of a sudden
he showed me where Donald Trump fit in
book of revelation because I didn't know
there's a lot of symbols in Revelation
Revelation 12 has the dragon
I thought for sure that's where he is
then there's the woman the stars
the the moon
the sun the
all kinds of stuff going on
and I didn't know where he fit
and all of a sudden I learned where he fit
and it shocked me I jumped back from my table
I'm standing there and I said
I can't publish that I can't publish that
I called my state president
I called him up called up the executive secretary
set up an appointment and went and talked to him
and I told him the whole story
I told him everything I've showed you here
told him everything is going on that
and I'd god had asked me to publish it to the world
and now he showed me something I had never heard before
what am I supposed to do
and I just asked him like what
what am I supposed to do here
he says you
I told him you're gonna get people calling you
demanding my excommunication
because I'm not the prophet
and I can't know this stuff
and by the way I've had people exactly say that to me
and I said what am I supposed to do?
God asked me to publish this to the world
he said this Kelly
follow your heart don't publish this doctrine
publish it as your opinion
but I have to say
I've never heard of this before either
so I'm really glad I did that
it's one of the smartest things I ever did
was talking to him
and and recently
I've been highly criticized
people mind the words getting out there
and all the whole world's in turmoil right now
and they get mad at me and they say these things
and I tell them I tell them a story
I went to the stake president
and they ah no
he can't know these things
what what do you mean
he can't know these things
oh no
they don't know this
they follow their own favorite priest
crafter and stuff and he's like
hold on a minute
do we believe in revelation of the church or not
and I said if I had a concern
if you had a concern you
would you not go to your state president
about something important
or do you not believe in that revelation
revelatory priesthood
authority line
it's been a very interesting thing
so let me get back to the story
so I learned all these things about
um where
where revelation fits in our day
and for four months I had a fire hose of inspiration
that just was astonishing
from December to March
every day almost every day
I'd get up at 3:30 and and write
and I look back now with tears in my eyes
at what an astonishing experience that was
I've had people tell me oh
that's of the devil
oh my heavens
people are so clueless
it's because it hasn't happened to them
they supposed it hasn't happened to somebody else
but oh no
that was not from the devil
it was not it was such a special experience
anyway so I
I got it all published in April
I thought I was done
and god kept giving me more inspiration
and I'd oh
I gotta fix that and I'd go publish
upload it again to Amazon
and between then and
the end of July 2025 I uploaded to Amazon 24 times
I kept learning more things
and then I thought okay I'm
I'm done now
but I wasn't done
and he kept sharing me more and more things
and so I kept going along
and I'd make YouTube videos
I'd make podcast I'd make or not podcast
I'd make stuff on my Facebook group and stuff like that
and I kept writing down the things he showed me
and by the time December 2025 came around
I realized I have to rewrite the book
and god did it again just a fire hose of inspiration
I took everything that I'd written and gathered
and put it together and looked it all over again
and then in February of February 9th, 2026
I had an amazing experience
um this time
I just felt the spirit from head to toe
for the whole day and finally
I understood revelation Chapter 12
and it was nothing like I thought
this whole time I didn't realize what it was
that entire chapter revelation Chapter 12 is completely
100% every single word
about The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints
and the things that are going to happen in the world
and when he showed me what was gonna happen
I cried again I didn't see any visions
I just when he showed me in the
in the scriptures with in the mental pictures
I cried for days
this is it this changed the whole book
for one
I started out this being I thought it'd be fun
oh look
here's Donald Trump he fits in this one in Isaiah
and this one over here and this one in revelation
and it would be fun
I thought it'd be cool to show him like this
but now it's a rescue mission
um I'm trying to get people to realize where he fits
because they don't see it
they hate him they've dismissed him
they've denigrated him they've marred him
by the way he is the marred servant of Isaiah 52
there's no one in history has been marred more than him
his image is marred his reputation is marred
damaged
no one in history has gone through as much opposition
as Donald Trump
and soon the lord's gonna heal him
and everything's gonna change
and it will be an astonishing day
and then we'll know exactly
where we fit in the book of revelation
because that I'm proposing
is the coming forth of the first horseman
god gave me the name of the book
told me what to write it what to call it
and so I called it the first horseman
and that's where it gets the name
and that's what it is and when that happens
when he gets healed by god
the whole world's gonna change
we know exactly where we are
we're in revelation chapter 6
and everything else follows after that
all almost all prophecy in scripture Isaiah Jeremiah
Daniel Ezekiel
Joel everything hinges on that
that incident they all
almost everything occurs after and
I can talk a long time about this
but that's why I wrote the book
and that's what I'm going
that's what's happening here
and so this is where I'm at
and you can get the book at First Horseman dot World
and I encourage you to get the paperback
I had a lady who originally saw my book and said
I'm not buying that and then later
the spirit said buy that book
and so she was like what
I'm not buying that book but she
she did she followed the spirit
she bought it she bought the digital version
something happened
she didn't quite get the full download or something
and she was flying to Europe
and it cut out in the middle
and she was so mad she came back
bought the paperback marked it all up
told all her friends and they all
they came and wanted me to speak to him
because they've never heard this before
and so this has been a fun experience
um I've been facing an awful lot of opposition because
they hate Donald Trump
because of the beast system that he is affecting
he's to come forth
and help establish the political kingdom of god
and the beast system Satan's system
the seven headed beast
seven heads means it covers the whole world
all world's governments are inspired by this system
and he's there to establish the kingdom of god
and that's something Satan does not want
and so the only thing you can do
try to kill him
of course but
is to mar him and to say horrible things about him
and to make him look as awful as possible
and sadly most people believe it
but soon he will be healed
and all of those things are gonna go away
and then everything's gonna change
so that's my message
and I have a lot more to talk about after that
that's just the foundation of all this
and if I want you to follow along with me
please get the paperback book or hardcover
digital if you have to it's okay
whatever you want
I'm gonna be posting a lot of podcasts here
hopefully doing at least one a week
and videos and things like that
because I have a lot of things to say
and so that's my message thank you for coming here
and we'll talk to you later thanks very much
