Publisher's summary

A plot to kill. Dark secrets from the Deep State. Visions linking the past, present, and future.

A 2,500-year-old prophecy, the Cyrus Mandate, is coming to life in our present-day headlines and current events. First issued by an ancient Persian King, the Cyrus Mandate is awakened again through the Abrahamic Accord peace treaty, causing the entire world to take notice. National elections, international leaders, even Middle East negotiations appear to be following the ancient path. Everything and everyone involved becomes part of seeing how this promise will be fulfilled. As Jack and Bette Garrison are drawn into a dangerous international conspiracy while celebrating their honeymoon, they discover the Cyrus Mandate’s secrets. They travel from Paris to the US to Israel to help rescue a brave reporter and learn the terrifying secrets she has uncovered. Drugs, trafficking, and corruption at the highest levels revolve around a world-wide pandemic, anti-Israel propaganda, racial tensions - and ancient prophecies being fulfilled. Pause-resisting action, romance, history, and prophecy come to life as Ray Bentley and Bodie Thoene release the third installment of The Elijah Chronicles: The Cyrus Mandate.

I wish book was longer

I LOVE how Pastor Bentley and Bodie Thoene weaves the Bible scriptures and the current events of the world in their books. I CAN NOT WAIT TO READ NEXT BOOK.

EVERYTHING MEANS SOMETHING!

The 3rd book of 5! Loaded with History for the Digesting! Never a dull moment in the Drama, Love, Prophecy, Suspence leaping from the pages! With Historical facts to leave you in AWE!

Riveting story

Enjoyed the story & some of the possible prophecy fulfillment. Some seemed a little far fetched though. Steve Corona did an outstanding job of narration. Would love for him to continue narrating other Thoene books.

Excellent way to understand

The world stage is a high speed chase as evil and darkness try to overcome good and LIGHT! I very much appreciated and enjoy the method of bringing it all to readable life!

Excellent Story

I absolutely loved this book! It is so prescient, brings so much understanding about what is going on our world right now, and what is behind the persecution of Israel. ThIs is by far the best narrator in this series so far. I suggest everyone read it. You will not be disappointed!

Love Pastor Ray

I really enjoyed this book. The voice was weird lol listen to (especially the female voices) because I know Pastor Ray and am so grateful that I was a member of Maranatha Chapel. It was kind of weird because I heard the voice of Pastor Ray’s voice reading this book to me. I love Pastor Ray’s prophecies. I believe in them. My spirit tells me to and there’s so many similarities to the things that I have felt in life that he just validated for me.
I wish Vicki, Daniel, Annie and all their grand children and spouses so many blessings. Thank you for sharing our beloved Pastor Ray with the world. He was mine and my husband “Billy Graham“.

Loved the Intertwining of Holy Spirit/Angels/Demons

As always, this was so good! I loved how the characters are seeing for themselves the truth of the enemy forces through spiritual eyes. The story was awesome!

Connections, Connections

Narration was pretty good!

There was quite obviously a lot of heavy duty research invested in this story that provided many plausible connections from the past to current and even perhaps future connections. Frankly, that research is one of the primary attractions to anything attached to the Thoene name. It seems to me that plenty of room was created for at least 1 more book. However, the consistent references to Notre Dame made me uncomfortable because it made me wonder if the author (I'm thinking it must have been Bentley in this particular case) is a believer in the Fatima prophecies. If so, I wonder how that ties in with the Jewish understanding that Rome is Esau...even to the point that in early Church history, Romans dressed Believers in animal skins to facilitate attacks in the Coliseum, a direct "nod" to Jacob using animal/goat skins to manipulate Isaac into giving to Jacob the "blessing" Esau had already sold to Jacob for a bowl of beans. Esau vowed revenge, to kill his brother, and this use of animal skins was definitely part of it. It would be interesting to see in a future book how the juxtapositioning of these these two adverse understandings would fit into the plot or if it would be avoided altogether. If there is another book, I'll definitely be looking for that little twist.

A Faith Promoting Saga

The story is faith promoting. It is an interpretive tale as to how things may proceed leading up to Jesus Christ's Second Coming. The Savior is true and faithful and will guide us if we will Hear Him and follow His prompting to us.

Wonderful Backup Scripture References

The story built around the End of Time Scriptures was wonderful to listen to, as prophecy came to life and as to how the the end of days will take place. I am happy I had the chance to listen to these three books. It has me understanding the big picture of the return of Jesus in a much clearer picture.
