Bible Prophecy - The Statue of Daniel, an overview of the history of the world

The Lord God is our planet's history firmly in their hands, with our country has big plans. All had experience in two prophetic books of the Bible - the book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation of John. God wants us to know what will happen and we were warned. He wants us to draw attention to the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and know that despite our country that the government ousted Satan God has everything under control and His word is final.

In the book of Daniel in chapter 2 is a prophetic dream of world history, it's a summary of the history until the end of the world and the coming of the Messiah depicted a large statue. Many years later, he was already a new king of Babylon, Belshazzar, Daniel had a prophetic dream again, this time when Daniel saw the four large animals also prophetic meaning of Daniel chapter 7. As well as various metal sculptures, these four beasts represent four earthly kingdom, which will follow in succession.

Amos 3,7 - Yes! Lord does not nothing, but shares his secrets to his servants the prophets.

Daniel from 2.1 to 3.10 - In the second year of his reign of Nebuchadnezzar had a dream that upset him so that he could not sleep.

None of the wise men could tell the king what he dreamed and interpret the dream, and a true man of God, Daniel, whom God revealed the same dream with the interpretation.

Daniel 2,31-45 - Well, the king, you had a vision, and behold, you saw a great image. It was a huge statue of an extraordinary appearance. Loomed in front of you and aroused fear. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron and feet part iron and part clay. You looked, and behold the rocks without touching a human hand, break the stone statue hit the iron and clay feet and crushed them. Suddenly all that iron, clay, bronze, silver and gold, broken to pieces - like chaff, when the summer threshing grain. Wind is known that after they left monuments. But the stone that struck the statue, became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

So many dreams. Now Royal Highness will discuss its interpretation. You, O king, art a king of kings, because God has given the kingdom of heaven and the power, strength and glory. Did you get into the hands of the whole inhabited world, all people, animals and birds, and made thee ruler over them all.

Thou art this head of gold. Nebuchadnezzar featured Babylonian Empire (606-539 BC) speaks of the empire, the kings were the leaders of their monarchy.

Bible accurately indicates the beginning of the prophetic history, and we can open a history book and see that the empire followed.

Daniel 2.39 - but after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours.

Silver Medo-persian breast is a symbol of the empire (539-331 BC). In 539 BC King Cyrus the Great led the Medo-Persian army after a long siege, conquered Babylon. And the Medo-Persian Empire can be documented not only historically but also the Bible: Daniel 5.28: "... your kingdom was breaking and the Medes and Persians given."

Isaiah 45.1 - Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I took me to gain control of nations and kings before him, disarmed me he opened the gates and doors are left closed.

This is just the Medes, the Persian king Cyrus deliver the Israelites from Babylon was foretold 200 years before.

Daniel 2.39 - and after a third kingdom of bronze, which dominates the entire world.

Belly of a Copper Empire Greece (331-168 BC). Greeks - led by the great king Alexander the Great - put an end to the empire, the Medes and Persian Empire founded the Third World. The Greek soldiers had weapons mostly from copper and copper were called because the soldiers.

In Jerusalem, the priests showed Alexander's prophecy that Greece will win over Persia, and Alexander believed that this prophecy refers to him. At 25, he became the ruler of the world. After his death the empire split into 4 parts where they speak of Daniel chapter 7 and later gradually conquered the Roman conquerors.

Daniel 2.40 - Finally, take a fourth kingdom, strong as iron. Iron is all broken and crushed, and as iron breaks everything, so it will disrupt the kingdom and destroy everything.

Iron legs are a symbol of the Roman Empire (168 BC - 476). The Romans defeated the Greeks and became the rulers of the world. This empire was larger than previous empires. I, Palestine came under Roman domination. From a biblical point of view allowed the Roman Empire, the gospel could spread rapidly in the pagan world.

Historians write about a long, hard and bloody dominion of Rome. It was centuries of oppression by other nations, where the government brutal autocrats blood flowed freely. Yet even so powerful empire collapsed. Rome broke up into ten parts, ten fingers of God's prophecy.

1.Saxoni, who gave the emergence of England. 2.Franks, who gave the emergence of France. 3.Alamani, who gave the emergence of Germany 4. Visigoths, who gave the emergence of Spain. 5.Suevovs who gave rise Portugal. 6.Lombardi, who gave the emergence of Italy. 7.Burgundi who gave rise Switzerland. 8.Herulovs who disappeared. 9.Vandals who disappeared. 10th Ostrogoths, who disappeared.

So far, a logical one empire after another. However, after the Roman Empire of God's prophecy foretells something beyond the logic of history! That it was already not rise much, which would be united under one government the previous nations and territories despite the fact that many will try.

Daniel 2.41 - And you saw the feet and toes partly clay and partly iron means that the kingdom will be divided. However, it will have in themselves something of the strength of iron, as you saw in the ordinary clay mixed multitude iron. Toes partly iron and partly clay mean that the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. And whereas you saw iron mixed with common clay means that the human race will be mixed, but do not stick together, just as iron is not the clay.

Six notable rulers also tried to unify Europe:

Big Charlie (France, 8th century.) Charles V (Spain, 16th century.), Louis XIV. (France, 18th cent.), Napoleon (France, 19th century.) Kaiser Wilhelm (Germany, 20th century.) Hitler (Germany, 20th century.). Why no one has been a united Europe? As the man tried a little of what God has declared that it will never happen - not in the future!

Although the iron but it was an empire (Rome) disrupted, it appears that element iron legs, even sculpture. Rome, therefore in some form remains present until the end of human history. He changed his appearance, but it's still here. This is confirmed by many other prophecies in Daniel 7 and Revelation of John.

Daniel 2.44 - In the days of these kings, God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never collapse, the kingdom which has not steal people. This kingdom will crush and close all other kingdom does it take forever. It is the sense of vision, which you saw from the rocks without touching a human hand break the crushed stone and iron, bronze, clay, silver and gold. God showed great king, what will happen in the future.

Do not have to worry about total nuclear annihilation or other weapons that man has produced, but we have to decide whether or not they want to live in God's kingdom, the new country. We now live - metaphorically speaking - in the toes Nebuchadnezzar sculptures. Statue ends, does not follow any other empire. The history of the known world is at an end. Crushing blow stone - without the intervention of human hands - is God's kingdom, second coming of Jesus Christ, God's court.

Acts 4.11 - Jesus is the one that condemned the stone you builders, which has become the corner.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

2nd Peter 3,9-10 - Lord not hesitate fulfill his promise, as some think, but shows you your patience. Does not want anyone to perish but that all should come to repentance. Lord's day, however, come as a thief.
