World History & The Holy Bible (Feet of Iron & Clay)

5. The World Today

Daniel 2:41-45 (Amplified Bible) 41And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of [baked] clay [of the potter] and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it some of the firmness and strength of iron, just as you saw the iron mixed with miry [earthen] clay. 42And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of [baked] clay [of the potter], so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle and broken. 43And as you saw the iron mixed with miry and earthen clay, so they shall mingle themselves in the seed of men [in marriage bonds]; but they will not hold together [for two such elements or ideologies can never harmonize], even as iron does not mingle itself with clay. 44And in the days of these [final ten] kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break and crush and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever.(A) 45Just as you saw that the Stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. The dream is certain and the interpretation of it is sure. 45Just as you saw that the Stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. The dream is certain and the interpretation of it is sure.

From what I understand, the Roman Empire is pretty much in every part of the world today because no one kingdom really took them over and the previous kingdoms before them had already built the foundation of a global world by their conquest of nations near and far away from them. History shows that the actual Roman kingdom due to several wars, rebellions and many other factors within itself was divided into:

1. The Saxons, originating the English nation.
2. The Franks, originating the French nation.
3. The Alamanni, originating the German nation.
4. The Visigoths, originating the Spanish nation.
5. The Suevi, originating the Portuguese nation.
6. The Lombards, originating the Italian nation.
7. The Burgundians, originating the Swiss nation.
8. The Heruli, who have since disappeared.
9. The Vandals, who have since disappeared.
10. The Ostrogoths, who have since disappeared.

As we know each of these also went on to colonise nations across the world and pretty much divided the nations of the world amongst themselves. Rome’s existence is everywhere if you bother to investigate or research the issue.

Let’s look at a few;

Symbols: Daily, we see several symbols that are directly connected to the Romans but most of us do not realise the history of such symbols.

The USA and many countries for example use the eagle on their national or military flags and emblems just like the Romans used the eagle the same way in their time.

Another item called Fasces was used by the Romans to preserve peace or handle punishment and this same item is used today to do the same across the world.

An olive branch was heavily used by the Romans to present peace to their enemies and today we still do the same via the same symbols. The UN’s flag and many offices of government and power across the world still use the an olive branch as the Romans did.

Calendars: The Romans helped shape the calendar we use today and each month up to August was named after something. September to December were the only ones that meant the 9th month, 10th month till December the 12th month.

Language: Most of what we call English and other languages across the world has a Latin influence and once again, it’s due to the large influence in our world today.

Just so we can stay in the path we started out with, the above where mentioned to let you know that Rome, though may be officially no more, it’s part of every modern society today. It confirms the biblical prophecy of the Feet of Iron and Clay as we see Rome disintegrate and mingles across the world mixing with all human kind. A good study of our laws, buildings, policies and many other aspects of governance is still Rome.
