So where Daniel Chapter 2 defines the sequence of world powers we have the following false narrative from the commentators:
Of course, this can't be true, because the Feet of Clay is called a "Divided KINGDOM". Thus there MUST be FIVE separate and distinct world Empires, -- exactly as History fulfills by the Three Superpowers and U.N. in this last "Divided KINGDOM".
FURTHERMORE, Verse 45 provides the sequence: Iron, Bronze, Clay, Silver, Gold = 4,3,5,2,1 = FIVE. Coincidence? NO. -- Historical FACT? YES.
So if Scripture and History both AGREE that Chapter 2 presents a FIVE World Empire scenario, then what should we think of the commentators who assert that FIVE = FOUR, given their assertion that Chapter 7 is a REPEAT of Chapter 2?
Could it be that the Chapter 7 FOUR represent the concurrent empires in the FIFTH "Divided KINGDOM"?
Nah, that'd be too obvious ...
