The 17 prophets to date in the dispensation of the fulness of times (Ephesians 1:10) and their ages at death are:

1. Joseph Smith               38
2. Brigham Young           76
3. John Taylor                  78
4. Wilford Woodruff        91
5. Lorenzo Snow             87

7. Heber J. Grant             88
8. George Albert Smith   81

10. Joseph Fielding Smith 95
11. Harold B. Lee              74
12. Spencer W. Kimball     90
13. Ezra Taft Benson          94

16. Thomas S. Monson      90
17. Russell M. Nelson        99*

*Living as of 15 Apr 2024

The mean age at death of these 17 prophets is 85. 8 of the 17 lived into their 90's and President Nelson will likely live to be 100.

This is in direct fulfillment of the following prophetic blessings:

Exodus 20:12    "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land"

Deuteronomy 11:21    "That your days may be multiplied"

Psalm 91:16    "With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation"

Proverbs 3:2    "For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee"
