Was not 1917..I believe it was after WWII
10"These were the visions of my head while on my bed:
I was looking, and behold,
A tree in the midst of the earth,
And its height was great.
11The tree grew and became strong;
Its height reached to the heavens,
And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.
12Its leaves were lovely,
Its fruit abundant,
And in it was food for all.
The beasts of the field found shade under it,
The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches,
And all flesh was fed from it.
13"I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven. 14He cried aloud and said thus:
"Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit.
Let the beasts get out from under it,
And the birds from its branches.
15Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth,
Bound with a band of iron and bronze,
In the tender grass of the field.
Let it be wet with the dew of heaven,
And let him graze with the beasts
On the grass of the earth.
16Let his heart be changed from that of a man,
Let him be given the heart of a beast,
And let seven times pass over him.
17"This decision is by the decree of the watchers,
And the sentence by the word of the holy ones,
In order that the living may know
That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
Gives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the lowest of men.'

"Bound with a band of iron and bronze"
Where else do we find "iron and bronze?"
Daniel 7
19"Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet; 20and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.
21"I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, 22until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.
You can strike iron against bronze and it won't cause sparks, that's why they're used to build oil wells. Deuteronomy 33:25
Nebuchadnezzar's Dream was also directed at the prince of Persia
1. A "Watcher" comes to cut the tree down. Gabriel and Michael are "Watchers."
2. The prince of Persia withstands a messenger for 21 days, why? Daniel 10
3. In Daniel 10:20 the messenger says he's going back to fight the prince of Persia and then the prince of Greece will come.
4. The prince of Persia gets cut down and thrown into the pit, but he returns.
In Revelation 11:7 a beast comes up out of the pit.
Revelation 17
7 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, [Daniel's time] and is not, [John's time] and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
Seven mountains, aka Beast's headquarters

Some Rules Used to Find Remez
Remez is a method of textual interpretation long used by Jewish students. The student's mind is set in the mode of "search". He needs to look for "…a hint, a symbol, or something hidden" in a specific word or passage, that is connective in types. Does a word or phrase really have a second meaning different from it's literal meaning? The following rules are some that the reader will draw on as he searches and finds remez:
1. Look to Israel as the signs and symbols. Yeshayah (Isaiah) 8:18; Devarim (Deuteronomy) 28:46. Such functions as history, holy days, Temple construction, objects, and the like.
2. Look for a redeemer (Messiah) as well as anti-Messiah types.
3. Examine numbers as symbols to convey more information.
4. Examine words used as metaphors, e.g., bread as Bread of Life, water as Living Water.
5. Determine the Hebrew meaning of people's names, place names, tribes, etc. These are usually proper nouns, commonly found in Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the OT.
6. Note the role of the good women (faithful) vs. the bad women (unfaithful – harlot, prostitute, or whore).
7. Look for the allegorical story contained in the TaNaK to those found in the Apostolic Writings.
8. Look for an adversary in the stories.
9. Closely examine the true definition of words in Scripture, especially figures of speech.
10. Note that the stories are types of "… what has been before, will be again" Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 1:9-10
11. Correct translations of Hebrew and Greek text is essential to be able to find symbols.
12. Examine short stories and parables as conveying a second coming (Kingdom) message.
