What is the author saying that Edwards was doing? Was he looking for current events that seemed to fulfill end times prophecy in Revelation?

His big concern was with anything that indicated that the Roman Catholic church or the Papacy was in retreat and that Protestantism was on the rise. You will also find his "History of the Work of Redemption" (Yale Works vol. 9) quite helpful for the big picture. Camden:
