The Fourth Thousand Years
From David to Christ
by W. Cleon Skousen
There is no period when the distant roar of history can be heard pounding
on the pages of the past with greater fury than during the ten savage centuries
known as The Fourth Thousand Years. This was the age of the first world
empires, the days when Assyria, Babylon, Greece and Rome each displayed
their passion for power and when the first three collapsed in the heap
of their own ruins and drowned in the flood of their own blood. It was
an age which demanded the resounding and inspired voices of many of God's
greatest spokesmen. The turbulent chaos of these centuries brought forth
such mighty prophets of God as Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Jonah, Lehi, Nephi, Daniel, Zechariah, and many others. The lives and times
of all these men are in these pages. (Hardbound, 712 pages)
