Just remember that the toes of that statue needed to be smashed by the stone that came from heaven.
It’s pointed out that the mixture of iron and clay would retain the strength of the iron, but have severe internal divisions as portrayed by the iron and the clay that do not mix together.
Most authorities recognize that the Babylonian idol represents four world-ruling empires whose rulers have the title “king of the world”, from the Chaldean (the head of gold) to the Medo-Persian (silver arms and chest) and the Greek (abdomen and thighs of brass) right down to the Romans (legs of iron and feet of iron/clay). A great deal of the EU elites still hold to the ideal of the Holy Roman Empire to this day.
Thanks for your additional comments. Interesting subject actually.
Take care.
