Feet of Iron & Clay

"In that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have in it the toughness of iron, inasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with common clay. As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle. And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery." Daniel 2:41-43

King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream in which the Lord revealed to him the succession of Gentile powers that would occur until the Lord himself would set up His kingdom. The interpretation was clear. Babylon was the head of gold, followed by the Mede/Persian empire, then the Greek, and then the Roman. It becomes a little unclear when we get down the the feet and toes. They were of iron and clay. Many have made this to be the Holy Roman Empire or the revised Roman Empire. Each teaching has it's strong points but when you compare it to further scripture, it is easy to see there is more to the picture.

When we take a close examination of the feet and toes, it seems to resemble a modern day map - showing countries in different colors.

That is, in fact, what we are seeing. The "last days" empire will be that of countries being conjoined together but "they will not adhere to one another."  Daniel even described the final beast of the endtime in chapter 7 to be one that "was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns." It would be an empire different than anything that had ever been seen before - ruled by more than one ruler.  Revelation 13 describes the same thing - an antichrist system made up of the very component parts that we read of in Daniel 7. The "last days" empire will be one of many nations coming together, ruled by many until "the One" steps forward. It will be a new world order!

If you have noticed world events of late, you then should be aware that we are in the time of the feet of iron and clay. The emergence of the toes of iron and clay are happening right before us. Just listen to Prime Minister Brown in the video below:

The "New World Order" is forming. The iron and clay are fitting together - although not clinging together. It will be only a short time before it is ready for "the One."

Although many will try to be "the One," as we even see from the headlines concerning President Obama, there is coming a day in which "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."

"And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear." Revelation 13:5-9

". . . then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Matt 24:21-22

WE SHALL SEE THE END OF ALL THINGS - ARE YOU READY?!?!?
