Rome, Turkey and Jerusalem

"Rome, Turkey and Jerusalem" by Edward Hoare is an early 20th-century series of sermons that investigates the meaning of historical events in the light of prophetic texts, focusing on three major regions. It examines the political situation in Turkey and its declining empire, linking the current state of affairs to Christian beliefs about the end times and the renewed importance of Jerusalem. Through a mix of historical analysis, prophetic interpretation, and theological discourse, the author presents a view on God's timing and the fulfillment of prophecy, highlighting the decay of the Ottoman Empire as a sign pointing towards Jesus’ Second Coming. Hoare connects Jerusalem's occupation by foreign powers to the prophesied restoration of the city after the Gentiles' allotted time, urging believers to watch these developments and spiritually prepare for Christ’s return with hope and anticipation.
