Rome, Turkey and Jerusalem

A collection of theological essays interprets early twentieth-century political shifts in Europe and the Near East through biblical prophecy. Organized around analyses of Rome, Turkey, and Jerusalem, the author reads Revelation’s seals, trumpets, and vials as a framework for understanding the Ottoman decline, treating images such as the drying of the Euphrates as symbolic signs. The book considers implications for missionary activity, Jewish aspirations regarding Palestine, and contemporary hopes for the Lord’s return, combining exegesis with commentary on current events to argue for a prophetic reading of recent geopolitical developments.
