The
third thousand years were 10 turbulent centuries filled with pathos and
drama, from Abraham to David. This era includes the full panorama of
the amazing life of Moses, and the flood of miracles that exceeded any
other epic until the ministry of Jesus Christ; the story of Joshua, the
great Ephraimite general who conquered Palestine, and the lives of
Gideon, Deborah, Samson, Ruth, Eli, Samuel, and the tragic biography of
the famous King Saul. All of these belong to the provocative and
dramatic unfolding of events during the exiting third thousand years.
This
is the second of three volumes on the Old Testament. This series was
used by the author, W. Cleon Skousen, as a college text at Brigham Young
University. Hundreds of thousands have sold, bringing to life the
fascinating personalities of real people who lived in ancient times.
The Fourth Thousand Years:
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 10 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. 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
many mighty prophets of God—Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Jonah, Lehi, Nephi, Daniel, Zechariah, and many others. The lives and
times of all these men are in this audiobook.
This is
the third and final volume of this series dealing with the Old
Testament. This present volume deals with the exciting scriptural epic
which emerged between the time of David and the coming of Christ.
For those who find the Old Testament an arduous reading, this should prove especially inspirational and helpful.
