Hi Insight,
I agree with the citations of both the beast and the false prophet. But it is not enough to simply re-state Scripture. You should have SOME greater understanding of inferences, significance, associations, and identities, -- but you offer none of these. And then you insist for that which I've provided multiple times. Do you want me to do all the work? Are you not able to receive a portion, and then multiply it? -- You do recall what happened to the servant which hid his talent, -- and so I would adjure you to not be as that example.
So where do we go from here? Having presented the evidence of a FIFTH "divided" Empire of Clay, are you willing to address those "divided" kingdoms specified in Daniel 7? Or are you as so many who prefer their false-doctrine security blanket?

As I thought you remind me of those council workers who lean upon their shovels.
We could argue and debate the fifth "empire" scenario by restating it’s only a phase of the image, however it appears you are immoveable in this regard.
I provided an overview to enable you to take a "lead" rather than playing the antagonist.
It appears you are "only" one dimensional.
I will follow with an introduction to Revelation 13 shortly.
