Rome and Turkey in Connexion with the Second Advent

A series of sermons reads biblical prophecy as a lens for assessing contemporary geopolitics and the likelihood of the Second Advent. The preacher expounds the prophetic succession of world empires and contends that the final phase of that sequence has been reached. Two sermons meditate on the moral and institutional condition of Rome, while three consider the Ottoman realm and regional developments as corroborating signs. Scriptural visions are compared with current events to interpret symbolic imagery and chronological markers. The overall aim is to combine exposition and exhortation, encouraging vigilance, hope, and spiritual readiness in view of the promised return.
