"TO EAR:  The Beast of Dan. 7 & Rev. 13 Doesn't Have 10 Toes On 1 Foot"


In your 12/10/23 post THE DRAGON, THE BEAST, AND BABYLON (fivedoves.com) you said the following:

"Its ten crowned horns symbolise the ten independent and sovereign Muslim countries of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Libya (that overlaid parts of the three old empires), which were established after the Ottoman Empire was defeated in the early 20th Century."

However, the 10 horns of the beast in Daniel 7:10-11 and Rev. 13:1 are also the 10 toes of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Dan. 2:33, 41-43 which are part iron and part miry clay.  The iron legs on the statue was the Roman Empire which later split in two indicated by 2 legs representing the Holy Roman Empire in the West with its capital in Rome, and the Byzantine Empire in the East with its capital. in Constantinople, Turkey which was later taken over by the Sunni Muslim Ottoman Empire.  The two iron legs have two feet with 5 toes on each foot making 10 toes altogether.  The 10 countries you listed above of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Libya would all be located on the foot of the leg in old Byzantine Empire in the East which was taken over by the Ottoman Empire in the least.  There should only be 5 countries or areas representing 5 toes from this area and not 10.  The other 5 toes as 5 countries or areas would have to come from the Western part of the old Roman Empire or Holy Roman Empire in the west which is what the Bible indicates. Otherwise, there would be 10 toes on 1 foot and no toes on the other foot of the statue.
