I am curious as to how you would link Nebuchadnezzar's statue with the heads of the beast in Revelation.

Here is my list:
  • Head of Gold = 3rd Head of the Beast = King of Babylon
  • Breast/Arms of Silver = 4th Head of the Beast = King of Medo-Persia
  • Belly/Thighs of Brass = 5th Head of the Beast = King of Greece
  • Legs of Iron = 6th Head of the Beast = King of Rome
  • Feet of Iron and Clay = 7th Head of the Beast = Hitler
  • Toes = 8th Head of the Beast = Image of the Beast (Final Antichrist)

I see Hitler as being a good fit for the Seventh Head. The Image of the Beast will be the final 'Eighth of the Seven'. These are just my opinions of course.

Would you link any of the Little Horns in Daniel to these 'heads'? Are they the same? Different?

Do these even link together in the first place?

Please post your thoughts.

I view the Little Horn in Daniel 7 as coming in the future, somewhere in the 'toes' part of the statue timeline:

Daniel 7:8 "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

The Little Horn in Daniel 8 however, appears to have come and gone a long time ago:

Daniel 8:9 "And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land."

What do you think?

Even though I disagree with the graphic - nice job on posting a visual as part of explaining your view.

The statue image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream does not correspond to the kings of Revelation 17:10-11. The ten toes of the statue image do correspond to the ten end times kings of Revelation 17:12.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The kings of Revelation 17:10-11 are represented by the 7 heads on the beast in Revelation 17, 12, 13.

The 7 kings are of the Roman Empire (historic), and Roman Empire manifest in the end times (the EU).

(the first five kings) the five fallen (at the time of John given Revelation)
Julius Caesar
Augustus Caesar
Tiberius
Caligula
Claudius

(the sixth king)) the one is
Nero

(the seventh king) the one yet to come
the end times little horn person of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8

(the eighth king) the beast-king of Revelation 17:11
the end times little horn person after being killed and come back to life

When it comes to the Ten Toes, I view them as not of this world. I interpret them as fallen angels. This would be the 'falling away':

2 Thessalonians 2:3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

They all combine their minds to bring about this final antichrist, i.e., the 'eighth of the seven'. They bring it back to life.

Maybe this is too much for the average person to receive? This video is very close to how I interpret them:
