Prophecy and Modern Times

Finding Hope and Encouragement in the Last Days

By: W. Cleon Skousen

Narrated by: Mark Deakins

Have you ever wondered what the ancient prophets had to say about these modern times? Find the answer in Prophecy and Modern Times, a brief but powerful exploration into 6,000 years of prophecies about these latter days. All the ancient warnings and promises are beautifully distilled, organized, and explained for clear understanding and quick application by this generation.

As President Ezra Taft Benson said in the foreword, “Every person interested in present and future events in this war-torn world will profit from a careful perusal of these pages.”

Prophecy and Modern Times will help you interpret what ancient prophecies mean for your own life, and for the modern world. These prophets foresaw many of the complexities of the modern era, the Middle East, America, the rise of enormous economic and military powers, the stealthy corruption of nations and of personal lives, and how the second coming of Jesus Christ will finally begin a long-awaited era of peace.

Gary D. Goodwin, of the Association for Mormon Letters, said “Skousen reveals his brilliance in his organization of such a monumentally complicated task. He suggests how to interpret prophecy, tells us its purpose and our responsibility to understand it. Skousen is masterful!”

Religious Audiobook of the Year 2015 (Izzard Ink Publishing)

Insightful but hard to follow in audiobook form

I wished I had access to the footnotes, but other than that, it was excellent. Insightful commentary on end-time prophecies.

Not what I expected

I was hoping for an in depth reading and explanation of the different prophecies.This was more of a reader's Digest version, or a synopsis of the prophecies. While it covered many it wasn't as thorough as I was hoping for. For this reason I only gave it 4 stars

a hopeful read for the weary saint

This is a fantastic book and filled with truth. I really enjoyed every bit of it. the time is now to prepare for these last days. each of us must make our personal journey to Zion.

Enlightening and enjoyable

Looking forward to that millennial day when jeweled cities and peace be all over the Earth

Love listening to this book!!

It gives great insight on what is to come and what the lord has in store for us. The reader is great!! He's voice is clear and soothing to listen too.

just what I hoped it would be

it was long enough to decently cover the topic but shirt enough to not get monotonous. I highly recommend!

worthy of multiple listens

I will need to read this several more times to get everything out of this book,. I felt like I was getting a drink from a fire hose. wonderful and informative.

Great book

Like all of Cleon Skousen’s books, this one is amazing. So much great information. The information found in this book can be found other places, but like all Skousen’s books, he does a beautiful job putting it all together in a timeline easily followed and understood.
