History lesson: The year was 538 A.D. and the Emperor of Rome was Justinain, and the General of his army was Belsarius, who was fighting the Ostrogoths, one of the ten remnant kingdoms after 476 A.D. at the gates of Rome. The Bishop of Rome was Silvanus, who was said to be a man of God, but he refused to open the gates to either army. Then the queen, who was said to be a devoted Christain, was petitioned by Justinain and Belsarius to persuade the bishop to open the city gates, which he did, but he was unaware of the plan that Justinain and his General made previously to arrest him and replace him with one who was more like them. History tells that they did just that, and also placed upon bishop Vigilius the Roman emperor's sceptre and the title of Pontifex Maximus, which they all claimed from emperor Constantine. This is the account of the revealing of the son of perdition, and birth of the Little Horn antichrist power. The Ostrogoths, the Heruli, and the Vandals, where all exterminated. This 'little' horn is the same beast that came up from out of the sea, and the woman (Jezebel) who rides the seven headed beast in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. She would be diverse from all others in that she claimed the power of both church and state for one thousand, two hundred and threescore years. She also persecuted the saints of Christ during that time we know of today, as the dark ages. It took another emperor in Napoleon, and another General, to take back the temporal sword, that Justinain had bestowed on her in 538 A.D. Exactly one thousand, two hundred and threescore years later in 1798 A.D. which is the same as a time, and a times, and the dividing of time (a half of time), which is the same as 42 months. Seven times in the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation are we given this prophecy of the time of the Little Horn. God does not want us to get this wrong, for if we don't know who the antichrist beast is, then we will except his mark of authority. This is when the beast was put into captivity, and prophecy tells us that this wound will be healed, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition, after the deadly wound is healed.
My first true Bible study in my 58 years of life just because of a reply to a post of friend of mine on Facebook . Obviously that small quip inspired me to pick up a bible and start reading about Daniel. Not really understanding what I was reading I thought man I need help with this dream and what it meant ! The good lord brought me to your RU-vid channel. Every night I learn a little more it’s baby steps.

I was 63 before I ever read the Bible. The first book I read was Daniel. It can be a difficult book but worth the effort. I’m still studying Daniel 18 months later. Good Luck with your studies.
This video is absolutely amazing. Clear & concise teaching & incredible truths. Only God could be the author of the Bible, & this teacher is excellent.
Books like Daniel teach us that God lifts up nations, and he destroys them when they become proud, corrupt, and unjust. And being religious and pious are no substitute for the righteousness God demands.
Thank you! We are glad to hear these teachings are a blessing to you! We recommend going through the complete series in order, you can find it here: www.angelsintheglen.org/prophecyseries
I really love this perspective of the Christian origins from a historical and lecture. I'm not a Christian but I really do appreciate the lessons it has from this approach because it allows for open-mindedness rather than forcing others to convert, it allows us to see how relevant and how much the bible actually relates to our current day dilemma and not as just a faith-based religion or spirituality, but as a pragmatic and lived one.

Beautiful presentation. I just shared this subject to my officemate last Friday. How I was to watched this presentation before I shared it. God bless you Pastor, the whole team and the viewers...🙏❤️
That was a truly amazing video holy moly thank you for this I absolutely love the historical elements that are intertwined with biblical prophesy. They go hand in hand.
It talks about all of the day of Ages 🤣. how Awesome I love it. I hope it’s cool to use this to make my own presentation formation. No worries my Brothers and Sisters of Christ. He’s on his way 🤙🤙. I feel so bad for none believers 😬.
We're so glad to hear that. May God bless your studies and your efforts as you teach. Let us know if you have any questions. We hope to have key Revelation videos up by the end of June on our website. Sign up for our email list to get a notification www.angelsintheglen.org/
@@AngelsintheGlen Hi, we are looking at Neb's statue this Thursday regarding the prophetic timeline especially up to this day. I tried to get your notes but were not able to do so! Do I have to pay for the notes? I don't mind but I'm in the UK and don't know how to go about it? Or any other sites you could direct me to for info? I particularly want to focus on the feet and toes of iron and clay. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Blessings in the Lord. John
@@wonderboy57100 Got your message in our inbox, glad you were able to download the study guide. Your can get the Daniel 2 charts here: www.angelsintheglen.org/daniel2-resources Hope that helps! God Bless!
After Nebuchadnezzar II there were many other kings inferior to him. The Silver kingdom is the babylonian kingdom after Nebuchadnezzar II. The Medo-Persian empire was not inferior to Nebuchadnezzar II and it embraced most of the known world, Bronze. Then we have Alexander (iron) and the fraction of its empire (feet). Your explanation is kinda what a christian would like it to be
Excellent again; can you explain Dan 11:21-22 “seize the kingdom by intrigue. 22 With the force of a flood they shall be swept away from before him and be broken?”
Best, God bless you. Just two days ago, I read the entire book of Daniel, and felt I will never grasp this book and the book of Revelation., and was telling myself I should not spend time on these two books, especially the book of revelation. Then, I found your comprehensive presentations. I am now finishing this episode, and I see it that it is the best teaching so far. And I hope you will make the book of Revelation as clear as this one. [These books appear to be a little complex to me as I did not study the history of Western Europe. Now, I am having a very good glimpse]. Our Lord Jesus Christ Bless you.
Thanks for the feedback. So glad to hear you have been blessed by God's Word! We recommend going back to our Daniel 1 video to begin the series. We will take you through the entire book of Daniel and key chapters in Revelation. We're working on videos for the rest of Revelation later this year. Thanks again for your comment and watching our videos!
Nebuchadnezzar was quite upset He had a disturbing dream The royal King didn't understand it He called on his counseling team They asked him to tell the dream They would explain to him what it means The king said no, I want an explanation After you tell me the dream The advisors were confused and said to the king No one can do what you ask The king was furious and said to them Then death to you all is the task The commander of the king's guard went out To get started as the king was stewing But Daniel stayed calm and respectfully asked The why of what they were doing The commander told him and Daniel asked If he could speak to the king Daniel, trusting God, told Nebuchadnezzar That he could explain the thing Daniel went home to his loyal friends They prayed for an answer Sure enough, their God in heaven Showed up and swiftly delivered (By Esther Coleman-Spells... Not enough space to share it all here. I hope you enjoyed it. Read the rest in "Prideful Leaders are Humbled by God.")
This explains what is about to happen to the British Royal Family... Queen Elizabeth might be the last ruler as we know it (even though it is all ceremonial in part)
@@AngelsintheGlen It all depends on what One you are speaking or referring to. If it's the One then yes. I'm Speaking of the Messiah and no not the of the Man of 2000 years ago that was not the Messiah that was God Himself. Just read John Chapter 14 verse 9 or John Chapter 20 verse 28. In Daniel Chapter 2 Verses 34,35 and 45 God uses The Messiah which he made out of a Piece of a Mountain Rock (Man Was Made From The Dust Of The Earth) to Destroy America. Well this even already took place 23 years what we call 911. The 2 Feet Iron Mixed with Clay is The Uned States 1 Country and the other America is another Country. Rome was known as the Kingdom of Iron a Republic well the Republican Party is America (The Iron are The Non Humans) and the Democrats are the leftovers from the Greek Empire who are the Clay (Humans were made out of Clay) these are the 2 Feet in Daniel Chapter 2. And now iits all over as of the year 2000 just as Daniel Chapter 2 saids would happen. And yes that stone has been in N.Y.C. growing by the day for over 23 years now that is the Messiah. America ended where it began N.Y.C. and from N.Y.C. a new worldwide Kingdom has already been born and people have no idea.
Have you considered that "potter's clay" could be Jewish influence? For example the high priest, Caiaphas, had a position of power even though not a Roman leader, they had some type of political agreement... And that possibly continues today. What you say also makes sense, but the fact that it's iron mixed with "potter's clay" makes me wonder.
Excellent presentation, though once we begin to focus on what the text does not focus on (ten toes) I think we become overly creative. The coming of the messiah and the cross and the pouring out of the spirit.... this was not a parenthetical thought.
Thanks for the feedback. We generally agree that we shouldn't push the symbolism too far in any part of Bible prophecy. However, we don't see it as very creative to conclude that feet typically have ten toes. The text of the Bible says "feet and toes" (v41) and "toes of the feet" (v42). Why should this matter? Because the Daniel 2 pattern of ten repeats itself in Daniel 7 where the fourth beast has ten horns. Bible prophecy repeats and expands. This enables us to confidently advance in knowledge of the symbolism and what it means.
@@AngelsintheGlen Excellent answer. While I do understand these prophecies to be fulfilled entirely in the Messiah's coming in the first century, your appeal to Daniel 7 (and potentially Rev 17) is good.
Thanks for your comment. Please watch all our Daniel and Revelation videos to understand the events that must take place prior to Christ's return. You can contact us directly at our website with any questions.
@@AngelsintheGlen The kingdom of partly iron and partly clay is not Europe. It is the Islamic Empire that last until the stone cut by no human hand ( Church, body of Christ) crushes it and usher in the kingdom of God.
@@josephleongivy6269 Please watch our entire series to understand the events that will take place prior to Christ's return. Islam is no where to be found in Bible prophecy.
From historical standpoint, im trying to understand the transition from Greek empire to Roman dominance. I assume Alexander was sort of the turning point of the fall of Greece to Rome? And the hellenistic period was the rise of Rome? So was was Socrates and Aristotle basically the end and the beginning of that transitional period? Just trying to piece together that part of history. Thanks!
We would recommend any text book on the history of western society. In a nutshell, Alexander the Great is the pivot point between the Medo Persian Empire and the Greek/Macedonian Empire. Alexander defeats Darius III at the battle of Gaugamela on Oct 1, 331 B.C. However, Alexandar dies shortly thereafter and his kingdom is split up by his generals, viz, Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy. Over time there would emerge two dominant kingdoms, the Seleucid and the Ptolmaic. They would last until the Rome emerges victor at the Battle of Pydna in 168 B.C. (Socrates lived approximately 100 years before Alexander the Great, however, Alexander was a student of Aristotle) Here is something to consider. The book of Daniel predicted Alexander's conquest and the split between his four generals approximately 200 years before it happened. Please consider watching and critically evaluating our Daniel 8 and 11 video in the links below. We explain each verse and show how the Bible already predicted these events. www.angelsintheglen.org/daniel8 www.angelsintheglen.org/daniel10and11
Where is the United States in all this? I know our ancestry is from all over the world. Mostly Western Europe but where are we in all this. also what about the British Empire?? They were also a big deal.
Please continue to watch our entire series. Your questions will most certainly be answered. We address this specifically in our Revelation 13 video, however, we recommend having the full context by first understanding the entire book of Daniel.
I believe the British Empire described as the feet partly made of Iron. Like its predecessor the Roman Empire which is described as The legs made of Iron. The British Empire was formerly a province of the Roman Empire. And USA is The Feet partly made of Clay which has a different form of government from its predecessor, its leader is elected from the general public unlike the previous empires chosen according to the descendants of the King.
What country is this kingdom UNDER heaven ( nation ?) And who are THE PEOPLE ? “And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom UNDER the whole HEAVEN shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.” Daniel 7:14, 27 KJV
The issue I have with that relating to Caesar Augustus, is that it says within a few days he will be shattered. Augustus ruled for 40 years. Can you please explain that?
Thanks for your question. It's a good one. One aspect to keep mind when examining Daniel 11 is to first understand the framework (which we address in our Daniel 8, 9, and 10 videos). The short answer is that there is chronological time period that begins in Daniel 11:1 that runs from about 538 B.C to the mid nineteenth century A.D. (verse 40). That's well over 2000+ years. With that in mind, Augustus only rules for a few days across this prophetic landscape. Thanks again for your question.
The kingdom of gold , silver, bronse and iron has done, kingdom of iron , the one who first iron industry, made a boat out of iron, now we are in the kingdom of iron and clay, meaning the weapons made of iron, and clay meaning those who grown out of clay, such as wheat, corn and others in short grain
I like how you cross reference the bible with history books to get a better idea of what each of these segments are. If the clay is the E.U, does that mean it's typically a bad thing or just a figurative of current world powers?
The prophecy of Daniel 2 is to demonstrate that God knows the beginning from the end and that while world kingdoms only exist for short time period, God's kingdom will be eternal and will have dominion forever. However, the kingdoms of this world have never been favorable towards Christianity. While world kingdoms are represented by the image of a man (statue/idol), they are represented as beasts in Daniel 7. They have been known to persecute and oppress God's people. See our Daniel 7 video for a more full explanation. (note: that's not to say that all the rulers of the kingdoms of this world have been unfavorable towards ancient Israel or Christians over the ages. For example, Cyrus of Persia was highly favorable; God used Cyrus to allow the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple.) Please continue to watch our series in Daniel and Revelation to understand the events that must take place prior to Christ's return. Contact us at our website if you have any other questions. Thanks.
Greetings. I have been wanting to study prophecy for some time but kept starting and stopping. Since this COVID 19 I confess to being inspired to start again. This was a terribly useful commentary and I've watched quite a few over the past weeks and this one is very clear and easy to follow. Here's my question.....the feet of iron and clay. Have no proof of course but shouldn't the mixture of the "iron" and the clay be suggestive that it is remnants of the IRON kingdom that has mixed with other kingdoms not as strong and forceful as the iron kingdom but a kingdoms in their own right???
Yes, that is exactly right. The Iron kingdom continues and tries to mix with other kingdoms, so to speak. We address this more in part 3 of the Daniel 2 study and in our Daniel 7 study. We continue to build on this in Daniel 8 and 11. This video is part of a comprehensive series, and we recommend that you go through the series in order for maximum benefit. You can find it here: www.angelsintheglen.org/prophecyseries or go through the playlist on our channel. We're so glad find this video very helpful and clear.

The best way is to look it from babylon point of view, not euro centric view As Nebuchadnezzar rules from babylon, so did, persia, macedon, rome(briefly) That is the center of the world, until A rock crush all the foundations The rock best suited as islam and islamic empire such as umayyad and abbasid basically cover almost the whole known and civilised world, from spain to india
The problem with concluding that Islam is involved with the prophecies of Daniel is that it does not follow the pattern established in Daniel 2, 7, 8, and 11. If it were true in Daniel 2, then we must see evidence of Islam in Daniel 7, 8, and 11. It is simply uncompelling. And devoid of any meaning. For example, if one follows the metals in Daniel 2, there are clean breaks between the gold and silver, then another clean break between the silver and bronze, then another clean break between the bronze and the iron. Since Nebuchadnezzar is declared to be the head of gold, we can conclude that the prophecy is talking about the Neo-Babylonian empire. Following history, we know that Babylon fell to the Medes and Persians in 539 B.C. at the battle of Opus. Then the Medes and Persians fell to the Greek Empire (led by Alexander the Great of Macedonia) in 331 B.C. at the battle of Gaugamela. And then the Greek Empire fell to the Roman Empire in 168 B.C. after the Punic and Macedonian wars. Rome was obviously further west geographically yet it is considered possibly the greatest empire in history given its territorial conquest and length of rule. The prophecy certainly recognizes the Roman Empire by the images of the long legs of iron. Even the famous historian Edward Gibbon recognized the Roman Empire and describes her as an iron monarchy. Furthermore, that there are two legs of iron certainly fosters a connection to the eastern and western halves of the Roman Empire, but we don’t want to push the imagery too far. However, here is the point. After the legs of iron, there is no clean break. Rome was not defeated by a superior or stronger empire. She transitioned into the successor states of the Roman Empire through the German barbaric immigrations and invasions. It must be recognized that this is exactly how Europe formed today. Europe has the culture and legacy of Greece and Rome, the cultures and traditions of the Germanic peoples, and the Christian faith, which was the most important of the three because it absorbed and assimilated the other two. This conclusion is far more compelling than Islam and best matches the prophecies of Daniel 7, 8, and 11. Please consider all the evidence we identify in those studies. Critically examine everything we say. You be the judge.
17:50 Rome did not end at that time. As long as the Pontifex Maximus holds power, the Roman Empire exists. It almost ended when the Italian Army incarcerated the Pontif, but was soon revived to full power, up to the present. The combination of iron and clay means the continuous attempt to create human hybrids. Daniel 2:43 " . . . they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." Who is "they"? 😁
We answer your question in the video (we not sure you watched it or maybe you skipped that part). Also consider downloading the accompanying study guide for Daniel 2 at our website. Please continue to watch our series in Daniel and Revelation to understand the events that must take place before Christ returns.
20:10 No. You did not answer my question. Mixing/mingling mean combination of two or more different stuff. In this case one is "they" and the other one it "seed of man". I assume "seed of man" is human. But who is "they"?
Hi there anyone here have any ideas on the books by Joel Richardson ie mystery Babylon.. Islamic anti Christ..mid East beast etc... He is a good teacher and speaker and author and his books are very good... I was wondering what anyone thought about his teaching and his answers definitely meet the scriptures he gives reference to.. But i don't have a good enough eschatological knowledge to make a decision on it all. However I would be greatful to hear from Christians who have any ideas on it please.. thanks Jamie!
Richardson is spot on. Daniel's legs of iron = John's 7th empire. The healed re-created 7th empire are the feet mixed with iron and clay. Rome is nowhere to be found...
Egypt is the first beast empire in John's list (Rev. 17;10). Egypt is not included in the statue because the statue represents "this is what happens to Babylon" , not "this is what happens to the world. Which is also the reason there is no "Rome" in the statue.
Well, since the Book of Daniel was written ,164 BC, by sevrel authors due to the Antiochian prosecution, that wasent such a wonderful profetia after all? And Rom had been established since 509 BC, so the authors of the Book of Daniel would have known pretty much how the political scenery looked like and what players that could be EXPECTED, and No dream of Nebukadnessar , interpretaded by Joseph is known earlier than 164 BC..
How would you explain the legs of iron transitioning into the feet of iron and clay? That is, if as you posit, Rome was already in existence at the time the prophecy was written, why does the author depart from the hard line transition between the gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and then make the iron transition into iron and clay (which is not a metal)? Shouldn't they simply make a clean break (so to speak) with another metal? Why the transition to another material like clay which is of a markedly different type of substance? Why would they introduce a mixture of metal and clay for the feet? The answer is that it was beyond their comprehension. How could they have known that Rome would not fall like the other kingdoms? There is no way they could have fathomed that over time the Germanic tribes of Europe would gradually assimilate through various immigrations (and invasions) and which would lead to the successor states/nations of the Roman Empire, that is, namely Europe. The making of Europe was a combination of the culture and legacy of Greece and Rome which included both the customs and traditions of the Germanic peoples and the Christian faith (which largely absorbed and assimilated the other two). It's an incredible stretch and act of faith to believe they had the insights to make this part of their narrative. The only way to explain the prophecy is that it came from God to Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel. And not in the second century B.C. as you posit, but on God's timing and sovereignty in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar (circa 603-602 B.C.). We should closely examine these prophecies. They are a direct revelation from God and demonstrate His wisdom and power to know the end from the beginning. Consider watching our series. The basic framework of Daniel 2 is repeated in Daniel 7, 8, and 11. More details are revealed and enables us to understand our place in prophetic history such that we can know with certainty that we are living in the final days of earth's history before the second coming of Jesus Christ (the stone that will strike all earthly nations). Critically evaluate everything we say with your open Bible. You be the judge. And should you have any questions, you can reach out to us directly on our website. God wants His people ready to understand end-time events that will soon engulf the world. It's not a time to fear, it's a time to be ready. God wants His people ready for Christ's very soon return.
@@AngelsintheGlen The answer is that there is no "Rome" in the statue. The feet mixed with clay will be a recreation of the Ottoman/islamist legs of iron. Rev 17:10 ...
@@topbuilder3790 We recognize that Ottoman/Islam is a very popular belief circulating the Christian church regarding end-time prophecy, however, to be very candid but polite, it has no scriptural backing. Based upon the patterns of Daniel 2, 7, 8, 11 and the three angels' messages in Revelation 14 culminating in the mark of the beast, it simply doesn't fit. Everything we believe or conclude must be traceable to scriptures in a comprehensive framework that fits all of Daniel and Revelation.

@@AngelsintheGlen Anthiochian Rule and the Selucide rulers, were first and foremost greeks, the Maccabenians rebellion was against the hellenistic belifsystems , and for the maccabeaninans gard rules bestowed upon Them? You all Keep One talking about that this is beyond the hebrews comparahension and cast in Islamic leaders? But when the Book of Daniel was authoured was earliest 164 BC, and this is nothing I make Up, its an agreed upon time for the writings of this story and the style its written in and the material its written one goat and cow skin tells the historians and the Christian scholars that this texts undubtably was written 164 BC by the Maccabenians. So its not a diffrent wiew. Its an accepted wiew from the Christian scholars that are entrusted with the assignment to valuate the origin of biblical text material.
@@AngelsintheGlen No, it wasent beyond their comprehension, because this story was fabricated by the Maccabenians, they might have gotten the idea from an earlier oral tradition, but that doesnt change the fact that the origin of this story is not Daniel or even Nebukadnessar, Nebukadnessar never had this dream , because the text was produced much later by the Maccabenians during the antiochan and Selucide rulers, that they wanted to rebell against, the text is written earliest 164 BC, and this christian scholars that are assigned with the task to trace the origin of biblical narrativ and texts are in agreement upon. You might argue that that hadent anything to do with what we belive about the text, but it does have it. Because if it is indeed a fabricated story from the time of the Maccabenians, how can you then use the texts as " proof " of knowledge 400 years earlier when they indeed did not have the Book of Daniel att that time. It was produced later one.
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold *a fourth beast* [Pagan Rome] dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another *little horn* before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the *eyes of man* and a mouth speaking great things. {Daniel 7:7-8} ... And the ten horns *out of this kingdom* are ten kings that shall arise: and another [Papal Rome] shall rise *after* them; and he shall be diverse (claiming authority over church and state craft; the spiritual sword and the temporal sword) from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. (The Heruli 493 A.D.; The Vandals 534 A.D.; The Ostrogoths 538 A.D.) And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and *think to change times and laws* and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (Same dispensation of the time of the Gentiles; and the time of the two witnesses.) But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away *his* dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. {Daniel 7:24-26}

hii pastor., I want to ask isn't it? after Alexander the Great's leadership, he divided his territory into 4 Generals? How was the Roman Empire formed? did these 4 regions eventually become 2 parts because of war with each other? which eventually became 2 namely the northern kingdom and the southern kingdom? can i get an explanation thanks
Yes. You are correct. Alexander the Great wasn’t much of a succession planner. After his death at the peak of his military conquests, his four Generals, viz. Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy divided the kingdom for themselves. However, over time, Selecus and Ptolemy would become the dominant powers which by around 300 B.C. essentially resulted in the Selucid (north) and Ptolemaic (south) Kingdoms. Rome was still in its infancy at that time. Rome gained momentum through the Punic (the south) and Macedonian (the east) wars. Rome became the dominate world power at the battle of Pydna by 168 B.C. Any western history book will go into much greater detail about this transition.
@@AngelsintheGlen if two hands in the Nebukadnezar statue mean Persian and Medo? Does the meaning of two iron feet in the dream of Nebukadnezar, also can be interpreted that the kingdom of Rome is led by two kingdoms?
Could the two arms represent Medo-Persia? Yes, however, we need to be careful how hard we push on the symbolism when it is first introduced. For example, in Daniel 7 Medo-Persia is represented by a bear with one side higher than the other. History attests that Persia would eventually grow stronger than Media. Also, in Daniel 8, there are two horns on a ram. One is longer than the other. Again, underscoring that Persia grew stronger. Looking back at the metal man image and saying the two arms are Media-Persia is OK. However, to be entirely consistent with Daniel 7 and 8, shouldn’t one arm be larger or longer than the other? Obviously the text doesn’t say this, however that does not negate the fact that there are two arms and that the silver kingdom was a joint rule by Medo-Persia. Ok. What about Rome? Well, Rome did split into East and West at the direction of Diocletian in the late 2nd century. Each had an Emperor. One in the East and one in the West. Could east and west be symbolized by the two legs. Sure. History makes this clear. Having said all that, we just need to be careful how hard we push on the symbolism and don’t overreach in our conclusions when we study the prophecies.
@Welcome Black Carter We explain Rome in the Bible with scriptural references in this lesson. The pattern is repeated in Daniel 7 and 8, and also in Daniel 11.
Since every part of the statue is a different element, every element resembles an empire, the qua probably isn’t Europe, as Europe is an extension of the Roman empire. The Clay is likely China as the western and eastern empires merge together. China is currently the biggest empire of all time
We're unsure if you watched our entire video or reasoning, but the pattern in Daniel 2 is repeated in Daniel 7 and 8 using different symbols. More details are provided in Daniel 11. China is not found in Bible prophecy but other nations and states are. We explain all of them in our Daniel and Revelation series. Our series is about the three angels's messages as found in Revelation 14. Our mission is to prepare men and women to understand end time events and be ready for the soon return of Christ. It's not a time to fear but a time to be ready. Please watch our entire series. Reach out to us at our website with any questions. Thanks. Angelsintheglen.org/prophecyseries
@@AngelsintheGlen I watched the entire video, I just disagree with your version of the “East and West Roman” empire being clay and iron. You rightfully said, “Rome didn’t fall, it extended.” Isn’t that still the iron element empire of Rome? Despite the tribes infiltrating Rome-Rome was still standing...it had just extended into Europe (which became a global power). Rome had other non-Romans occupying the Roman Empire prior to the beginning stages of the development of Europe living amongst their midst. In America today, we see massive immigration of people from South and Central America-but isn’t the “American Empire” still the American empire? China is clay because they present no value to the world but imitation, poor quality, poor regulations, iron-fisted communist (hey, very much like the Dragon they worship)-and they are an empire that is currently jeopardizing the integrity of the “Western” or “Roman” civilization across the globe. The ancient Silk Road gave China power-but they were inferior to Rome. In the first time in History, the Silk Road is being resurrected and China is conquering the world through the “one belt, one road” initiative. China worships the dragon. China’s digital Yuen and dominance in technology (6g tech) as well as advancements surely give rise to an empire that Daniel may be referring to. Satan imitates and counterfeits for centralized control-China’s forte. The East and the West will be forced to merge together...but their kingdoms will be divided, as Communism and Democracy mix like oil and water (or in this case, clay and iron). I believe that the seed of men is the “New World Order”. In order to have a one world government, there needs to be a mixing of the Eastern Communists and Western Democracies. China is not found in Bible prophecy? But 1:4 people on this globe are Chinese. John Hager’s ministry states this about China (www.jhm.org/Articles/2019-03-01-bible-prophecy-revealed): “The King of the East is China, a military superpower that neither fears nor respects the U.S. The Bible’s word for “east” simply means “sun rising.” This lets us know that it is describing China. This king, as described in Revelation, will lead a massive march of an army numbering over 200 million soldiers. The King of the East is distinguished by his number, color, and flag. The three frogs or three demonic spirits that seduce him will get them to come to the Battle of Armageddon. Armageddon is the mother of all wars. It will be fought on the sacred soil of Israel for global supremacy between the King of the West and the King of the East. The pending prize is the throne of the earth, to rule and reign.” Is Hagee’s mission to discourage and disempower men, then, if you both of you are saying different things about the same Bible prophecy?
@@AngelsintheGlen By the way, much of Europe and China has already merged. Who do you think bailed out Italy, Greece, etc? China. The West is beginning to fall to the East right before our eyes...do you deny that? China is known for their finest clay-derived porcelain. They are the “Clay Kingdom”. The terra-cotta soldiers are clay.
