Do critics' contentions that Joseph was a fallen prophet by the time he arrived in Nauvoo hold any water?

Joseph Smith's prophetic revelations during his time in Nauvoo have come under scrutiny, with critics suggesting that his inspiration waned after arriving in the city. However, it is argued that while the number of revelations included in the Doctrine and Covenants decreased, the frequency of Smith's sermons significantly increased. This period is marked by a prolific output of teachings, with Smith addressing his critics directly in notable discourses, such as the King Follett discourse.

In his sermons, Smith emphasizes his continued connection with divine inspiration, countering claims of being a fallen prophet. The discussions highlight the dynamic nature of his leadership and the evolving role of revelation within the context of his ministry in Nauvoo.
