A 1862 sermon on how world events reveal God's plan through Christ the King.
This edition presents the sermon "Man's Rule and Christ's Reign," preached on Thanksgiving Day, and explores how divine purposes move history toward the reign of Jesus Christ.
Through vivid images of imperial change and national trial, the text argues that human events are part of a larger divine drama. It shows how overturnings and revolutions can reflect the growth of Christ’s reign, and it links political life with spiritual truth in a way that speaks to readers of history and faith alike.
