Rome, Turkey, and Jerusalem

A series of sermons reads biblical prophecy through the framework of Daniel and Revelation, tracing seals, trumpets, and vials to argue that current events signal an approach to the final judgments. It interprets the decline of the Ottoman Empire as the drying of the Euphrates, links particular cities and empires under discussion to successive prophetic stages, and treats political and spiritual developments as preludes to the Advent. The work combines exposition of prophetic symbols with pastoral exhortation to vigilance, urging readers to view contemporary events as elements in a divinely ordered timetable that culminates in resurrection, reunion, and the imminent return of Christ.
