Prophet of the Jubilee (), also called Star of the Saints (), was a Welsh-language monthly periodical of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints between 1846 and 1848. It was the first Latter Day Saint periodical that was published in a language other than English.

History The first edition of Prophet of the Jubilee was printed in Rhydybont, Wales, in July 1846. One edition was published every month until the final issue was published in December 1848.

The editor of Prophet of the Jubilee was Dan Jones, who was presiding over the Mormon missionaries in Wales at the time. All but the final two editions of the periodical were printed on the press owned by Jones's non-Mormon older brother, the Reverend John Jones. The final two editions were published at Carmarthen on the press owned by John S. Davis, a young Latter Day Saint bachelor.

Prophet of the Jubilee was similar in content to the Millennial Star, the church periodical targeted towards English speaking Latter Day Saints in the British Isles. A substantial amount of material was borrowed from the Millennial Star and translated into Welsh for publication in Prophet of the Jubileei, especially doctrinal writings and letters from church leaders. Other contents were conference reports, progress in baptisms, poetry, accounts of miraculous healings, accounts of persecution and conversion, and an occasional "thumbing of the nose" at the enemy's lack of success in forestalling the spread of Mormonism in Wales. In almost every issue, there is a defense against an attack on Mormonism that had been printed in one of the other Christian periodicals in Wales.

The only fact known about the circulation of Prophet of the Jubilee is a comment made by Dan Jones at a December 1847 church meeting where he comments that he had increased the circulation to 1200. The cover price of Prophet of the Jubilee was originally three pence, which was cut to two pence with the January 1847 edition. Prophet of the Jubilee ceased publication when Dan Jones ended his first Welsh mission and returned to the United States. In 1849, Zion's Trumpet succeeded Prophet of the Jubilee as the official Welsh language periodical of the church; the new periodical was edited by John Davis.

Full name The complete name of the periodical was Prophet of the Jubilee, or, Star of the Saints; containing an account of the establishment of the "Dispensation of the fulness of times," together with the persecutions, martyrdom, and exile of its adepts, and their success ().
