Totally new concept see what you think. This is not the traditional idea of the ten toes or kings.
Looking around for clues of the ten toes a few different views. Interesting views!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After much reading on the ten toes and tribes. I have another idea to think about. The ten toes are on two legs five toes on each leg. Now remember that the Roman Empire first broke into two division as it fell. "THE KINGDOM SHALL BE DIVIDED." Because the Roman Empire did in fact divide into two. The image had two legs with feet and toes. The Roman Empire divided into two, which formed the eastern leg and the western leg. Constantinople was the capital of the Eastern Empire and Rome remained the capital of the Western Empire.
At the end of each of the two legs of the image is one foot with five toes. If the assumption of five toes on each foot and leg is correct, and if God continues with a literal fulfillment, then there will be five countries (toes) from the eastern leg of the old Roman Empire united with five countries (toes) from the western leg. Since five countries from the western leg will unite with five countries from the eastern leg of the former Roman Empire.
Old Constantinople is now Istanbul, Turkey. The area of the old Eastern Roman Empire includes Turkey and extends East to the Euphrates River. Most of the countries in the eastern leg are Arab states. Some of these anti-Israel and anti-U.S.
Europe (the western leg) imports their oil from the eastern leg and exports much produce and manufactured goods to the Arab states of the eastern leg. This could also have something to do with the mixture of iron and clay as they don't mix.
Islam and Christan's???????????? Iron and clay now how would this fit with your ten tribes?
And least we forget the "Axis of Evil" I don't think they are the five toes but it sure scared me to think about them.
1. anglosaxon =Catholic = England
2. franks = Germanic-Roman Christian = Germany, France, and Italy,
3. suevi = fr:Su ves The Suebi or Suevi were a Germanic people who at one time lived near the Baltic Sea and south thereof. Lost their identity to the Alamanni = pagans
4. visigoth = Christianity that developed into mainstream Catholicism = Spain
5. burgundian =Burgundy was the seat of some of the most important Western churches and monasteries, among them Cluny, Citeaux, and V zelay.
6. alamanni (im pretty sure are the huns) = Roman Catholic 76.9%, Church of England 6.9%, Muslim 6.9%, Jewish 2.3%, none or other 7% (1991)
7. lombards = the Lombards were partly still pagan, partly Arian Christians, and hence got along very badly with the Roman Catholic Church. They were not converted to orthodox Christianity until after the year 600. = Italy
!!!!!!not real sure of this one.
8. ostrogoths = Catholic =Roman province of Dacia, was a natural result of population saturation of the area along the Black Sea where these Ostrogoths established a vast and powerful kingdom.
9. heruli = More mystical and more liturgical than Roman Christianity = Constantinople was located on the European shore of the Bosporus, midway between the Aegean and Black seas, in what is now the country of Turkey.
10. vandals =Arian Christians,A heresy which arose in the fourth century, and denied the Divinity of Jesus Christ. = conquered the rich province of North Africa
Well looks like this rules out the Islam and Christan idea.
this is a great reference page...
