Having read "Prophecy Key to the Future" many times, and watching the events of recent history unfold, I am amazed at how those events have followed closely to prophecy as outlined in Duane S. Crowther's book. Back in 1962, having used scriptures of prophetic substance, Mr. Crowther clearly spelled out what to expect and look for as signs of Jesus Christ's Second Coming at the beginning years of the new millennia. God's prophets give us a clear picture of the future of those of mankind that will not follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Wo be to those, and Joy be to those who follow. Read this book with an open heart and you will not have to fear the many coming calamities still to be realized.

Excellent, must-read book for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), as they have the additional knowledge of the "Book of Mormon"'s prophetic scriptures, in addition to the King Jame's Version of the Holy Bible. I, as an LDS member, am looking forward to the future with no fear, as I am now able to see God's hand in orchestrating future events, in preparation for His Son's Second Coming!

This is an excellent book for reading as well as for reference. This is the third purchase of this book for me, having given this book to help people understand the things occurring around us. Crowther's interpretation and explanation of prophecies concerning these latter days are amazingly accurate and timeless and presented in a way to forwarn but not to frighten. A must for every LDS desiring to understand the prophecies of the last days.

I found this book interesting as it pertains to the future of America as seen by a number of prophets-modern and ancient. If you are interested in the future of this country you should read this book. Also, it is a warning to all Americans what will happen to us if we continue to follow our foolish current path.

While there may be many good points in this book, the so-called "White Horse Prophecy" which Mr. Crowther bases some of his research on isn't, never has been, and cannot be proved to be church doctrine.

Joseph Fielding Smith gave a talk in the October 1918 General Conference about false prophecy. He refers to the the White Horse Prophecy. "I have discovered that people have copies of a purported vision by the Prophet Joseph Smith given in Nauvoo, and some people are circulating this supposed vision, or revelation, or conversation which the prophet is reported to have held with a number of individuals in the city of Nauvoo. I want to say to you, my brethren and sisters, that if you understand the Church articles and covenants, if you will read the scriptures and become familiar with those things which are recorded in the revelations from the Lord, it will not be necessary for you to ask any questions in regard to the authenticity or otherwise of any purported revelation, vision, or manifestation that proceeds out of darkness, concocted in some corner, surreptitiously presented, and not coming through the proper channels of the Church. Let me add that when a revelation comes for the guidance of this people, you may be sure that it will not be presented in some mysterious manner contrary to the order of the Church. It will go forth in such form that the people will understand that it comes from those who are in authority, for it will be sent either to the presidents of stakes and the bishops of the wards over the signatures of the presiding authorities, Or it will be published in some of the regular papers or magazines under the control and direction of the Church or it will be presented before such a gathering as this, at a general conference. It will not spring up in some distant part of the Church and be in the hands of some obscure individual without authority, and thus be circulated among the Latter-day Saints. Now, you may remember this." (Joseph F. Smith, Jr., Conference Report, October 1918, p.55.)

At the end of his talk he added, "The ridiculous story about the "red horse," and "the black horse," and "the white horse," and a lot of trash that has been circulated about and printed and sent around as a great revelation given by the Prophet Joseph Smith, is a matter that was gotten up, I understand, some ten years after the death of the Prophet Joseph Smith, by two of our brethren who put together some broken sentences from the Prophet that they may have-heard him utter from time to time, and formulated this so called revelation out of it, and it was never spoken by the prophet in the manner in which they have out it forth. It is simply false: that is all there is to it." (Joseph F. Smith, Conference Report, October 1918, p.58.)

Mormon haters such as Sandra and Jerald Tanner, etc. have tried to use this as authentic prophecy, and have accused persons in the Church as trying to help fulfill that prohecy. This illustrates how errant hateful behavior can be.

I wish Duane Crowther had not used this "prophecy" in researching this book. Mr. Crowther has many good works to his credit, but, unfortunately, this is NOT one of them.

The seller provided a just and fair description of the book. It came in a timely manner, and it has been a good read thus far. I would gladly purchase other items from this seller.
