humble apologies if what i wrote grated on your sensibilities about how these types of discussions should proceed!

i am in agreement with davey here, and i think it would be good to move forward to the other symbols, using your diagram helps....you may need a bigger piece of paper :)......they essentially seem to reinforce your interpretation of kingdoms as the symbols used closely mirror those you listed in the order you listed them in.

im thinking the characteristic of the feet may be important....to understand with the purpose of seeing how the "not one-ness" (iron and clay dont mix) has played out thru history, from napoleon to hitler to stalin - rulers who have attempted to create the world-spanning empire.

special note to quix: please forgive me my apparent impatience - its that sense of impending that sends me - i DO take care to leave things open....please note the qualifiers i sprinkle throughout, ok? - and i expect to fail if i depend on "me" & my (so-called) insight. but KNOW that i have taken your heartfelt words....to heart!

Sometimes your worst day can turn into your best day, this lady is standing before GOD now.

Chinese Woman Beaten To Death After Distributing Bibles
Stefan Bos, ASSIST News Service

A 34-year-old woman has been beaten to death by police after she was
arrested for handing out Bibles in southwest China's Guizhou province.
The French News Agency quoted China's state run Legal Daily newspaper as
saying that police in Guizhou's Tongzi county arrested Jiang Zongxiu, a
farmer, on June 18 on suspicion of "spreading rumors and inciting to
disturb social order." They had planned to detain her for 15 days, the
report said, alleging Jiang died in police custody the afternoon she was
arrested. Her mother-in-law, Tan Dewei, who was arrested with Jiang but
later released, told reporters police kicked Jiang repeatedly during
interrogation. Police later informed Jiang's family she had died of a
sudden illness and turned over her body to the family, but relatives saw
she was covered with bruises and blood stains. It is at least the second
published killing of a Christian by Chinese police in as many months,
although human rights watchdogs believe torture of Christians and
dissidents is wide spread in the Communist nation. Chinese police
officials have refused to comment on the case. An operator manning the
phones at the Guizhou police station said she was "not aware of the
incident", AFP reported. The unprecedented report on the attack by state
media is seen as a sign of public disgust with police tactics and
China's continuing crackdown on religious practitioners.

I don't think

any

of my sensibilities were offended at all.

Am just trying to fit into whatever is evolving here with what meager offering I can contribute.

I think I had an initial impression of joint exploration which I think is still intact.

I notice and appreciate qualifiers!

Please ask something of me if you're not getting it and want it and you think I can deliver it!

Appreciate your contributions.
