Where you are speaking of King Neb, he was alive for the first time. This time is different he is being raised back to life. The Kingdom of Iron and Clay is speaking of Satan's kingdom which will be given to K.Neb as Revelation 13:2 says that Satan give's this 8th king his power and authority and his throne. We have a kingdom of Iron being of Satan's throne, and the mixture of Clay which is man. King Neb will be the Clay that is mixed with Iron which is Satan's kingdom.
This fatal wound in not the revival of the Roman Empire as we were all taught, but the fatal wound of a man, from the grave, a king, called Nebuchadnezzer it was right in front of our eyes all the time, but God in his wisdom did not allow us to see it until the time of the End. I can appreciate your knowledge of verses for you are well read, but the Roman Empire theory is not correct that you are bringing into this, for it was what I was believing at one time and I am well read in it also. Though God made sure I understood this and there are no holes in it. Everything is revealed in the Word of God, and in God's time he reveals it. It is just as the verses say, King Neb
will be the very last to ever crush Israel in this AGE. (Jer. 50:17) When He has fulfilled the prophecy written about him and Israel, which includes the Christians, God's vengeance will come on him for the resurrected fatal wounded King Neb can only be destroyed and removed by God, for only God can remove Satan's kingdom which King Neb will be receiving. Jerm 50:33 This is what the Lord Almighty says:The people of Israel are oppressed, and the people of Judah as well. All their captors hold them fast refusing to let them go. Yet their Redeemer is strong; the Lord Almighty is his name, He will vigorously defend their cause so
that he may bring "REST TO THEIR LAND", but unrest to those who live in Babylon. We are going to see a big falling away soon, just as Paul said in 2 Thess 2:3. Because the Son of Perdition is King Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 7:4 last part, I watched until its wings were torn off and
it was lifted up from the ground so that it stood on
"TWO FEET" LIKE A MAN. and THE HEART OF A MAN WAS GIVEN TO IT. This is King Nebuchadnezzar will be lifted up from the ground (grave). The heart of a man was given to it. This substansiates this is a MAN being raised from the ground, not an Empire call the Roman Empire. But a KINGDOM of Iron and Clay, which is Satan and man. Daniel was told the books were sealed till the time of the End, the theory of the Roman Empire is a couple of hundred years old. The books were sealed when they created that Theory. God writes in his word, the answer to everything that he prophesies and Roman Empire in not in the bible verses any where. We have all be deceived in that theory, not because we are stupid, or ignorant, but because God did not reveal it to any of us until now. We are heading into the Last Days and they will come upon us quickly you'll see. As we go into this birth canal, and Assyria is the pawn to facilitate the devouring which is coming upon Israel and the Christian first and is here now with the problems of Islam, encompassing all of the 12 tribes of Ishmael's seed. Then King Neb will be revealed to the world and they will follow him as he will call himself God.
1st- It was a statue, having a head of Gold- (Babylon), chest and arms of Silver- (Medes and Persians), waist and thighs of Brass- (Greece), and two legs of solid iron- (Rome).
I am familiar with the art work that depicts this image. The symbolism is not as we once thought. The bible will interpret that image I just haven't had time to find the interpretation yet.
These were the four kingdoms who are Biblically as well as historically proven, to have held Isreal captive, one after another, Rome holding them captive up past the time Christ was on earth His first time.
I can appreciate all of this, I am familiar with it, but this is not the kingdom that is coming against Israel at the very End of the AGE. It is the Assyrians, who is a part of the 10 kings, and the 8th King being Nebuchadnezzar brought back to life. This is what God has recorded for us. The men who put together the understanding of the Image did not find the answers with the full description from God's verses giving the clarity in it
and this makes the intrepretations unacceptable.
The "iron mixed with clay", represents the revived Roman Empire", made up of 10 Nations. But they are not as strong as the old original Roman Empire, being mixed with clay.
The is described in the bible and Roman is not a part of the equation. I'll look to find the verses that speak about the kingdom of Iron it is mentioned in God's words for I have read it before. I'll post it.
Plus the fact, Jesus' return is depicted by the stone that drops at the feet of the statue and smashes it down, not the legs, waist, chest, head, but the feet. That alone, shows it could not be "Babylon" physically returned and its King for the last Gentile nation to hold Isreal captive.
Jesus is the ONLY POWER THAT CAN DESTROY THIS KINGDOM. This is why our Christ comes back and destroys this kingdom. I have to accept what God wrote and when he said it would be the LAST BONE TO CRUSH his people ever, I believe him and none of what I've been taught in the past. One thing I have learned is that mistakes have been made in understandings and we are ever learning, keeping this in mind for myself I have come to see greater than I did before, for I am willing to realize all humans make mistakes in the scriptures, but God doesn't.
We are all fallible, but God isn't. Do you see what I am saying? If we keep ourself in a box when God is trying to let us out, we are the ones to blame. For he says he is Almighty and the seals have been in place until God was ready to open them, making each of us not correct in where we thought we were.
We shouldn't be shaken by this but rather joyful that our King has opened the seals now and we are able to see what He has had hid from the beginning.
3rd- And King Nebecanezzar has been dead and his spirit held for good in Hell since his death more than 2 Milleniums ago. He will not be revived. And the Parable of Christ about the richman and Lazarus proves, once a spirit reaches thier spiritual destination, they cannot leave it.
The bible speaks on judgment and resurrection. King Neb was before Christ, in the Ground waiting like David and everyone else. God raises him gives him a heart. Matt 27:52 speaks of many Saints God raised when Jesus died that went back into the city on the 3rd day when Christ rose. God has been resurrecting the dead for ions back to a physical life only to die again. It is all through out the bible. What God didn't do was given any of them eternal life for he can only make them perfect when he makes us all perfect together Heb 11:39. as He promised. So, to bring King Neb back to receive Satan's powers in easily a part of the equation and fits into place perfectly because it comes from the verses that God gave us on it to let us know and read when God was ready for us to see who this Son of Perdition is and now a great falling away will be happening in the very near future when this King is revealed to the whole world. I do appreciate your thoughts and questions for this is brand new to me also, but God was good to make sure I understood when he showed it to me. It will be just as God has spoken it in the scriptures. I had to read it a few times and even walked away and told God I thought I was losing it. God in his patience and his will brought me back to it and did what he does to make sure I understand. So, being this difficult for me at first, it certainly will be that with you also. Our Lord is getting us ready and this will be made known to the children all over. If you will just believe the words of God and reread it, you will be able to see it is what God says. Thank you for being so nice, this is very new to all of our ears, including mine. This has been different for me also, so I do understand your position very well. Keep reading it and I will see were the verses are that describe the kingdom of Iron. Satan's Kingdom is of Iron and man can not break it, his giving it to a man like King Neb, who is clay, which is what God calls us all, is why Jesus has to come back and blast this kingdom with His Powers for man can not do it. Our King is coming to reign and HIS WILL BE DONE. Amen.
