I found some of the traits of the individual's in Daniel interesting to learn about God's control over all things. Also what we might learn to apply to our own personal life.
Character Traits of People in the Book of Daniel
Daniel
followed his Lord and GOD
-was slave to Nebuchadnezzar
-did not defile himself with the kings riches
-GOD granted Daniel favor & compassion in sight of others
-GOD gave Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom.
Daniel even understood all kinds of visions and dreams
-the king found Daniel ten times better than all in his realm.
Nebuchadnezzar The King
-king of Babylon (present day Iraq)
-worshipped idols
-put GOD'S vessels in the treasury of false idols
-overtook the king of Judah
note:Jehoiakin was the king of Judah and did evil in the sight of GOD. GOD handed him over to Nebuchadnezzar
-used the son's of GOD as slaves
- sleep left him
-had troubling dreams
-had a troubled spirit
-made a gold idol to himself
-made a decree that all were to worship him and the gold idol
How did the life of Daniel affect Nebuchadnezzar?
What can we learn from these people that we can apply to our own life?
What can we lean about GOD?

IF WE ASSUME,
as I increasingly do
that the scheduled
GLOBAL 10 REGIONS
are the 10 kings in the various prophecies . . .
then the mixture is certainly plausible.
I believe that any AGREEMENT between quasi/former Roman C South America with Hindu India with Moslem Central Asia etc. will be tentative at best--particularly led by demonic forces inherently at each other's throats.
Now, what are the 3 kinds which . . . fall?
Europe could be gobbled by Russia.
North America could be gobbled by China/Russia.
South America would be easily controlled by others with more umph and arms.
Australia could be conquered or at least hemmed in by China.
Africa is likely to be a mess or controlled except MAYBE for South Africa. But South Africa may well be a client of Islam or Russia or?
Will have this 3 kings thing some more prayerful thought.
