REGARDING THE END TIMES
Starting at Daniel 2:29
“As for you, O king, on your bed your thoughts turned to what is to take place in the future, and the Revealer of secrets has made known to you what is to happen. As for me, this secret was not revealed to me because I have greater wisdom than anyone living; rather, it was to make the interpretation known to the king so that you may know the thoughts in your heart. “You, O king, were watching, and you saw an immense image. That image, which was huge and extremely bright, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was terrifying.
The head of that image was of fine gold,
its chest and its arms were of silver,
its abdomen and its thighs were of copper,
its legs were of iron,
and its feet were partly of iron and partly of clay.
You looked on until a stone was cut out, not by hands, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and of clay and crushed them. At that time the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver, and the gold were, all together, crushed and became like the chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a large mountain, and it filled the whole earth.
“This is the dream, and we will now tell the king its interpretation.
You, O king—the king of kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the might, the strength, and the glory, and into whose hand he has given men wherever they may dwell, as well as the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, and whom he has made ruler over all of them—you yourself are the head of gold.
[ Babylon from 607 BCE ]
“But after you another kingdom will rise, inferior to you;
[ MEDO-PERSIA from 539BCE ]
then another kingdom, a third one, of copper, that will rule over the whole earth.
[ GREECE from 331 BCE]
“As for the fourth kingdom, it will be strong like iron. For just as iron crushes and pulverizes everything else, yes, like iron that shatters, it will crush and shatter all of these.
[ ROME from 30 BCE]
“And just as you saw the feet and the toes to be partly of clay of a potter and partly of iron, the kingdom will be divided, but some of the hardness of iron will be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with soft clay.
[ US/UK or ANGLO/AMERICA current]
And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile. Just as you saw iron mixed with soft clay, they will be mixed with the people; but they will not stick together, one to the other, just as iron does not mix with clay.
[ in the bible 10 signifies earthly completeness, hence all the kingdoms existing then]
“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever.
REVELATION 17 : 9, 10
“This calls for a mind that has wisdom: The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top. And there are seven kings: Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet arrived; but when he does arrive, he must remain a short while."
John wrote revelation while in Exile on the island of Patmos during the rule of Rome. In this account the five kings that had already fallen are : Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece.
The one that "is" or "is in power now" was Rome.
The Anglo/American power was the next world power to rise after Rome, which means now is the last world power. There will be no more. And it will be before this world power falls that the end will come.
There is little time left.
