IMMENSE IMAGE OF DANIEL 2:36-44

This image shows us where we are in the stream of time associated with God's bringing the old system of things ruled by Satan to an end. Daniel wrote that the head of gold = Babylon, and the entire Babylonian line of rulership. The silver breasts and arms picture the line of Persian kings beginning with Cyrus the great. The copper part of the image represents Greece as the new world power, and the Roman Empire is represented by the iron legs. Part of these iron legs represents the England/America world power that was an offshoot of Rome (England being par of the Roman Empire at one time). Then, the feet of mixed iron and clay represents a politically divided world in the time of the end (which is obvious today).

We can see that we are associated with the feet of iron and clay. There are no further world powers after the representation of the feet, where we are now. The stone that comes out of the mountain destroys all the kingdoms of the earth, and it (representing God's own government) will rule forever. We are at the end of this old corrupt system of things, and God's Kingdom will soon rule. What do you think of this prophecy from Daniel?

Yes, an amasing study article last week*. What really stood out for me is that Jehovah puts the thought into the kings to destorry Babylon. It will come (seemingly) out if nowhere!

To study this great image dreamt of by Nebuchadnezzar is to avail ourselves of important, vital information about these last days of this old system of things ruled by Satan. We can see how close we are to the new system of things---Paradise on Earth.
