https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 1 * BOOK 80 DANIEL - PART II - 1 Daniel 2:40-4:25 Okay, good to see everybody back again for another afternoon of taping. We’ll just go right back to where we left off in Daniel. For those of you joining us on television, we’re just a verse-by-verse Bible study. And again, I don’t expect everybody to agree with me on every point, but learn to search the Scriptures. That’s the name of the game. And I think you’ll find that most of the time you’ll end up agreeing with me anyway. All right, now let’s pick up right where we left off in our last half hour. That was after the end of verse 39 in Daniel chapter 2. Where Daniel is going through the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream—the head of gold, the chest of silver, the belly of brass, the legs of iron, and the feet a combination of iron mixed with clay. We made the emphasis that the specific gravity of gold is the greatest, and the specific gravity of the clay is the least. So it’s a deterioration. Now, we’re going to look at the fourth one first. Then we’re going to go and look at some things on the board. All right, verse 40. After these first three empires have come and gone, the fourth empire that will usurp the other three—geographically as well as politically and economically. This is the fourth kingdom of verse 40. Daniel 2:40 “And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron: (Now of course, this is the Roman Empire—the most ferocious military machine that had ever existed up to that time.) forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.” Which it did. The boots of the Roman soldiers were fearsome. All right, now verse 41: Daniel 2:41 “And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, (In other words, it is an amalgamation that does not really hold.) the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it (That is this coming kingdom.) the strength of iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.” Now the miry means something like muddy. When you take clay and add water to it, you’ve got a muddy mixture. All right, now then verse 42: Daniel 2:42 “And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, (Now remember, this is at the bottom of the statue.) so the kingdom (This final Revived Roman Empire that we see in Western Europe, I feel, today—with all of its ethnic differences and all of its political differences, yet they’re in a United States of Europe, supposedly. All right, this is the iron mixed with clay that Scripture is predicting.) shall be partly strong, and partly broken.” Daniel 2:43a “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: (In other words, they all have their ethnic differences. And even within any of the European Nations, you have many ethnic groups. So, they’ll mix themselves with the seed of men--) but they shall not cleave one to another,…” In other words, they will not be a solid democracy like we’ve seen in the United States. They are always going to have these differences of opinion. See, they still haven’t agreed on a constitution. Daniel 2:43b “…but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” All right, now we know that this is the closing Revived Roman Empire—this whole consortium of empires coming down from 606 B.C. under Nebuchadnezzar and down through the ancient Roman Empire, which disappeared and now has reappeared since World War II in what we call the European Union. All right, all of these come together as we see it today. Globalism on every hand and that’s why I feel this whole financial debacle is just another step God designed to bring in World Economies and World Government and a World Church. It’s all coming together so fast. All right, now verse 44: Daniel 2:44a “And in the days of these kings…” That final Revived Roman Empire, which is now 28 or 30 nations—but it is always going to go back to the original ten. That is the way I look at it—that Club of Rome. That European Community as it first began. And I remind people, back up during the ‘70s the media never called them anything but The Ten. And that was the original Ten European Nations. Now I still feel that those are the ten toes of this image, even though there have been a lot of them added. All right, while that is holding forth, out of that Empire will come the anti-Christ, of course, and the final seven years of Tribulation that will trigger the Second Coming as we see in verse 44. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
