Nebuchadnezzar's Nightmare
Nebuchadnezzar dreamed that he saw a statue. Daniel explained that the head was his head and his kingdom and the other parts of the body represented other kingdoms that would come after him.

Head of Gold is the kingdom of Babylon (the Lion) and Media (the Bear). Chest and arms of Silver with Ram's head is Media-Persia. Belly of Brass, or Copper, is Greece the Goat. Legs of Iron is Israel where you find "the mountains of the Leopards" (Song of Solomon 4:8). "Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron "(Mic 4:13).

The feet are made of a mixture of two kingdoms: Iron and Clay. Neither kingdom can prevail. The Clay is Islam. Solomon imported all his clay from Arabia (1 Kings 7:46) |
At the end of the dream Nebuchadnezzar saw a stone destroy the statue. The stone is Yahshuah the son of Yahveh.
Rome is not included in this image for Rome was not a continuing power. Rome fell in 475 A.D. and will never rise to power again. "the beast was slain and his body destroyed" (Dan.7:11). Email To read my notes
