Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and of the larger Mormonism movement revere Joseph Smith as a prophet, equal with those in the Bible. Mormons believe that Jesus Christ restored the doctrine and authority of the New Testament Christian church directly to Joseph Smith, who then founded the Church under Jesus' direct supervision. Joseph Smith was also given an ancient record, which he translated by the power of God and published as the Book of Mormon, which is now considered sacred scripture equal with the Bible. Of course since that time there have been divisions, but all within the Mormonism movement believe in Joseph Smith as the foretold prophet who would restore all things and prepare the way prior to Christ's Second Coming. (see Isaiah 11:1, Isaiah 29:12, Malachi 3:1, Ezekiel 37)
