Bible Question: Is the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream symbolic of the four great empires from Babylon to Rome and of the nations from which Rome was divided? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Aspilos, Yes, the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream are the acurate symbol of the four great empires plus the kingdom of God which will soon to come. I just finished a lesson on this topic and let me share you: The Imagery of Daniel 2 Head of Gold--------------Babylon------(605-539 BC) (Dan.1:1) Breast and Arms of Silver---Medo-Persia--(539-331 BC) (Dan 5:28) Belly and Thighs of Brass---Greece-------(331-168 BC) (Dan 8:21) Legs of Iron--------------Rome---------(168BC-AD476) (Dan 8:23) Time and again since the fall of Rome men have attempted to unite the world under a single government. But the word of God has declared that it cannot be done, and according to that decree all attempts have failed. Feet of Iron and Clay-----Modern Nations-(Since AD476) (Dan 2:41-42) Stone--------------------Kingdom of God (Dan 2:44) Chapter 8: Ram-----------Medo Persia Goat----------Greece Four Horns----Greek Divisions "...The Great God has shown the King what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy." Dan 2:45 I hope this helps. God Bless! inheavenseyes |
