About this listen
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!”

Our Founding Fathers' vision for America is under attack - and you can save it. America is a nation unique in the world, a government born under the radical idea of working for the people - not just for a powerful few. Our blueprint? The US Constitution, a brilliant framework of common-sense rules necessary for self-governance. It works no matter which political party is in power.

This well-known event in Nauvoo led Joseph Smith to comment specifically on Follett’s death and to address what Joseph called “[T]he subject of the dead”.

Amazing prophecies were given to the Hopi Indians as well as the Mahayan of China, the Tibetans, Kikuyu of Africa, the Mayans, Aztecs and Incas of South America, and great number of North American Indian tribes. Many of these prophecies came from a "Great White Brother" who visited most of these peoples, taught them of peace, and prophesied what would occur to them until he returned in the "last days" to help build a society of complete peace in this land.

Many Christians struggle to understand the Book of Revelation. “The end times.” “The apocalypse.” “The day of judgment.” These terms are both fascinating and frightening – but what do they really mean? Drawing from decades of study, Dr. Jeremiah explains every key sign of the approaching apocalypse and what it means for you, including international, cultural, heavenly, tribulation, and end signs. With his engaging writing style and clear analysis of how current world events were foretold in the Bible, The Book of Signs is an encouraging guide to the Book of Revelation.

As the world anticipates its end, we Latter-Day Saints are preparing to build the city of Zion. With so much emphasis on building Zion physically on earth, we sometimes forget the best place to build Zion is within our own hearts. John Pontius carefully details the importance of Zion in our own lives, opening our eyes to our oft-overlooked obligations and vast privileges.

Story
Parley P. Pratt wrote A Voice of Warning over a two-month period while on a mission to New York. The economy in Kirtland was collapsing, and dissension was rife among Church members. Even Parley became caught up in the dissension and was for a time estranged to Joseph Smith. In an act of renewal, Parley went to New York to preach the gospel and purify himself. With few doors open to him, Parley focused himself on writing, producing A Voice of Warning.

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

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.

The Cleansing of America as they are both wonderful books about the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Mark is an expert narrator. I love listening to his books. The spirit he brings to the book is amazing.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me think about the events of the second coming of Jesus Christ and what I need to do to prepare to meet him.
