Wow - another great post...asking the difficult questions. For those who missed it, Gino's post is linked below.
We are on the same wavelength, Gino. Because Daniel's statue focuses on the end-time beast system, I question just who these kingdoms are. Since the Roman empire fell, we've had the British Empire which chewed up a huge portion of the world. Claiming sovereignty over those lands. We've had the Third Reich - short-lived as it was. Prior to that, we had the Ottoman Empire - which appears to be reviving.. And let's not forget the most powerful nation on earth in the present time....the United States of America. The EU could be classed as a type of "revived Roman Empire" but it ;lacks real teeth. It's partly strong, partly weak because of the muslim immigration flood. Lots of countries want out of the European Union precisely because of the uncontrolled immigration. The societal chaos this has caused cannot be stressed enough. This ties in with scripture. The final kingdom will be partly iron and partly miry clay. And those two elements do not mix well. They don't adhere to each other no matter how much "mushing and mixing" is applied. To me - the EU fits the bill. So - although the USA is the most powerful nation at present, it doesn't threaten Israel. That's what the kingdoms of Daniel's statue all had in common - they all gunned for Israel. For me, this takes the USA out of the end time kingdom scenario. Strange, but I thought the UK had removed itself from the octopus tentacles of the EU - even though we're having a tough time disentangling ourselves. Still - I figured that we'd escape them - given enough time. Then Prince William threw us a massive curve-ball !! Out of nowhere - and for very flimsy reasons, he pays an official royal visit to the Holy Land. He does his little hypocritical dance between the various factions - pandering to both and satisfying none. The fact is that the British government do not send out the royal family for official visits for no reason. This was the UK staking their claim on Jerusalem. They've elbowed their way into the equation. Utter lunacy, politically speaking. Almost suicidal, one could say. However - the real reasons are hidden from public view. If William was merely going to Jerusalem to pay his respects at his great grand mother's grave, he would not have engaged politically. There is something sinister going on.
The end time kingdom is one that will attack Israel. It will attack evangelical Christianity. Islam fits the description. Remember the crusaders of old? They were from Europe. Who were they fighting? The muslims - the Ottoman Empire. Germany coupled with the Vatican, have always hated the Jewish people. It was Germany that went rabidly insane in their attempt to wipe out the Jewish people. It's Germany today who hold the EU together with gritted teeth and mindless determination. It was Germany who created the two world wars. And it's in Germany where the seat of Satan currently resides. Please see the very informative video clip below regarding this. Don't forget - the House of Windsor has very German roots. They are German through and through. Please see the link. Not only that - all the royal houses, the world over, are related to each other. The bloodline is sacrosanct to them. And they all live as they do off the back of the tax payer. They are fabulously wealthy. Sorry for digressing - the point is that the British royal family are of deep German origin.
I'm willing to stick my neck out and say I believe the final empire is the EU under German rule. Angela Merkel opened the doors to an Islamic invasion of Europe. The Vatican don't only approve this and condone it - they encourage it! There we have it - the religious and political reality as it has manifested itself today. I still believe that all the empires of Daniel's statue are guided by the head / brain, which is anti Christ false religion. Babylon. This is as I see it, Gino and Doves.
May God Bless you all. I cannot wait to meet all of you!what was the house of windsor called before?
