(v33)ask; what is it about the feet that is different from the other descriptions? the other substances making up the image were "one", and the feet are a MIXTURE! now....does that mixture "mix"? this is important because god wants us to know that there will be no "oneness" until the end (the stone).
It will not be one kingdon it will be the opposing king (ref.dan.11:36-45)(anti-christ)and or 10 Horns Little Horn(ref.dan.12:1-11)(10 nations or kingdoms) All the other were one kingdom. We are talking world order.
later, the symbolism concerning the dragon, the beast, & the false prophet (unholy/false "trinity") will change the picture somewhat - and thats ok! - it just may be a good idea to begin with beginnings.....because it DOES RELATE....and (just my opinion) it may be best to seek thru the confusion (faux pearls) systematically.....hence; understanding DANIEL. ok? (i hope) god bless you all!
Yes it all relates and the picture doesnt change that much. Draw a picture of this man on the left side of a full peice of paper.
Put the man on the left and leave the right side blank so you have room to write.
Now go back with my above post and draw a line from the head across to the right side and write gold,Babylon, Neb. then do the same with the breast, belly and thighs, leg and feet.
I hope this helps.
sEEMS APT to me.
Was just thinking in terms of MIXTURE . . .
Rarely to never has there been a country like the USA with such a huge degree of
MIXTURE
of values, customs, practices etc.
And there have been some prophetic msgs that God has judged our handling of satanic etc. in our midst as being more than foolish.
Perhaps the quasi together/quasi-at-each-others's-throats arrangement
will be somewhat like the UN only more so?
If, as I've come to believe, it is the slated 10 REGIONS the puppet masters are planning or have already divided the world up into . . . 'trade zones' for now . . . Certainly the values of those regions are quite different. And values of a culture don't change very rapidly on the whole. Certainly killing off 1/3--2/3 of the world's population would help but still--values of cultures are rather resistent to wholesale change--especially fast.
So, I think it is exceedingly realistic that they will not mix.
I think too, clay/ceramic is brittle. Iron rusts but has more tensile strength than clay. Perhaps the industrialized world could be construed to be the steel or iron and the relatively undeveloped world could be the clay???
