Understanding Daniel's Prophetic Statue: Feet of Iron and Clay

History Channel Documentary, At the point when the sun sets, you realize that night will soon take after. In like manner, when dull mists surge in, you realize that a tempest is soon to come. What's more, when the full moon lights up the sky, you realize that it will bring about higher tides. We frequently don't understand how basic unraveling ordinary occasions and signs can be, so envision applying such ideas to world occasions and Bible prescience.

History Channel Documentary, A standout amongst the most captivating articulations Jesus made to His supporters with respect to the indications of His second coming peruses, "Jerusalem will be trodden around the Gentiles until the seasons of the Gentiles are satisfied (finished)." Luke 21:24 AMP. Numerous researchers depict this as a period in Israel's history when Gentile world pioneers politically persecuted and administered over the general population and the country of Israel. The Bible records these previous forces: Egypt, Babylon, Persia (Iran), and the Roman Empire. Some of these same world realms are symbolized by the colossal picture statue depicted in the Book of Daniel (2:31-35):

Head of gold = Babylon (606 BC - 536 BC)

Silver mid-section and arms = Medo-Persia (536 BC - 336 BC)

Bronze paunch and thighs = Greece (336 BC - 63 BC)

Legs of iron = Roman Empire (63 BC - 476 AD)

Feet of iron and earth = Ten Final Kings (Yet to come... )

Except for the Ten Final Kings, the greater part of the above domains have "trodden" down Jerusalem. In decoding how the statue symbolized every country, we perceive that the world is nearly entering the last domain made out of the feet iron and mud. Daniel portrays the attributes of this coming domain,

History Channel Documentary, "What's more, as you saw the iron blended with grimy and earthen dirt, so they might blend themselves in the seed of men [in marriage bonds]; yet they won't hold together [for two such components or philosophies can never harmonize], even as iron does not blend itself with mud." Daniel 2:43 AMP.

It's intriguing that the expression "philosophy" is utilized in light of the fact that the world is at present confronting a noteworthy conflict amongst convictions and belief systems: east versus west, Christians versus Muslims, popular government versus totalitarianism. From what Daniel portrayed, I trust the depiction of the last domain to be the last mentioned.

The late "Middle Easterner Spring" in the Middle East is confirmation of the deliberate substitution of totalitarian tyrants (Iraq, Egypt, Libya, and Syria) with "equitable" manikins. Muslims have ached for the restoration of the Islamic Caliphate type of government speaking to the political solidarity and administration of the Muslim world. The country of Turkey is on par to end up the pioneer without bounds Islamic country generally as they were amid the Ottoman Empire. As we witness the starting arrangement of the feet of iron and earth, we ought to take note of a late proclamation made by Russian remote negotiator, Sergi Lavrov-who doesn't bolster the constrained majority rules system happening inside the Middle East. Lavrov: "The truth of the matter is, propelling majority rules system through iron and blood simply does not work, and this has been clarified as of late the previous 18 months." Even nations in the district don't trust the strained union of delicate popular government on countries who roots are utilized to the solid totalitarian iron clench hand will last. Majority rule government won't grab hold in the Middle East, essentially in light of the fact that it was established upon Judeo-Christian qualities. The two belief systems don't blend.
