Thanks for your angle on this, though not too sure about a second return of Jesus with an afro.

I thought iron and copper referred to actual states and not cultures.

Back to the bandings. Where the bands put in place to preserve the tree or to prevent it from growing again, more like acting as a restraint?

Because Dan 4:26 just refers to the rootstock being left alone which meant that Nebu's kingdom is preserved for him, no mention of the bands.

But if the bands were meant as a restraint on the tree, then could they refer to 1- iron meaning Rome and Anglo-America by extension. 2- Copper meaning Greece.

Although the Judean kingdom was destroyed, yet we read that Jehovah God continued to have a presence and a direct influence on Babylonian kings, through the presence of Daniel in their courts, and also during the Persian dynasty, for Jehovah directly influenced some of their kings and their actions. However, no record of Jehovah's direct influence on any Greek, Roman, British or American heads of state. Kind of being restrained.
