Item Information

Title:
Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 192, "Destruction of Jerusalem," 1823 August
Description:
A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the destruction of Jerusalem and Jesus' prophecies about its destruction. Hitchcock explains various parts of these prophechies and then discusses the historical truth of them, explaining that their fulfillment "establishes the divine origin of the scriptures." Hitchcock then says that the destruction of Jerusalem indicates that the prophecies about the end of the world in the Bible will also come true some day. Matthew 24:34-35 is quoted. It is unclear if the last detached sheet is related to the sermon. Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered the sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon on the first page.
