Rome and Turkey in Connexion with the Second Advent

This collection of sermons brings together a series of 19th‑century lectures that examine the political fortunes of Rome and the Ottoman Empire as they relate to the biblical promise of Christ’s return. The author, a respected Anglican vicar, writes for his parishioners, weaving together vivid historical snapshots with the timeless language of Scripture. Listeners are invited to explore how the rise and fall of these great powers might serve as a “great political witness” to the approaching climax of divine history.

The speaker grounds his argument in the prophetic framework of Daniel, contrasting the earthly view of empires as symbols of glory with the biblical perspective that sees them as fleeting beasts. By tracing the sequence of events outlined in Daniel’s visions, he encourages a careful, thoughtful study that goes beyond simple reassurance. The tone is earnest and scholarly, yet pastoral, offering both intellectual insight and spiritual encouragement for those waiting expectantly for the Second Advent.
