The subject runs through the whole series rather than belonging to one moment in it, peaking in volume 18 (1877) at 35% of that volume's sermons.

In their own words

One of the 300, preached by Parley P. Pratt.

O ye Millerites, ye made a great mistake; you thought the first thing was the coming of the Lord in power and great glory; you were going to have him come immediately, without any kingdom to come to, without a forerunner in the shape of a Prophet, but just by men guessing, and predicting, and remarking, and commenting on the prophecies; but so far as the coming of the Lord being the first thing you knew, you will "begin to see these things come to pass, and then know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand" and we have to be born again or we cannot see it.
Parley P. Pratt, Literal Fulfillment of Prophecy—Destruction of Jerusalem—Restoration of Israel—The Coming of Christ, Journal of Discourses, Volume 3
