Hello,
Please allow me to join the conversation to show where the Statue Prophecy in Daniel 2 is at the present time: -
Daniel 2:36-45: -
36 "This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. 37 You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; 38 and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all — you are this head of gold. This has happened, the head was Babylon. 39 But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; This has happened, the chest and arms was the Medes and Persians. then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. This has happened, the belly and thighs was the Grecian Empire, initially Alexandra the Great and after his death, one of the four divisions of his divided kingdom. There is a 2,000 or so year gap here in this prophecy. 40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. This is happening today as this kingdom is present day Iraq. It was formally established as a kingdom after WW1. 41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. This is happening today as this kingdom is/was the Coalition of the Willing lead by the King of the North from the kingdom/nation/empire, the USA. The Coalition of the Willing came together to enter the Land of the Chaldeans after the three-foul frog like spirits went out to all of the world to perform their signs and wonders sixteen years ago.
This is where we are at, presently. The rest of this prophecy is still to unfold.
In our near future, God will set up His everlasting kingdom, and, IMHO, by the end of the Millennium Age, the kingdom, which God will set up, will have accomplished the destruction of all of the kingdoms associated with the five segments of the Statue.
44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. 45 Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold — the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure."
NKJV
So this prophecy from Daniel 2 covers, the past, the present and the future.
Shalom
