A Few Weeks ago we looked at:

2. Daniel’s Divine Interpretation (Daniel 2:36–43)

Lets look at the Statue

Head of Gold: Babylonian Empire. 606-539 BC (Daniel 2:37–38).

Silver: Medo-Persian Empire, inferior to Babylon. 539-331 BC (Daniel 2:39a).

Brass: Greece under Alexander the Great. Greek Empire 331-146 BC (Daniel 2:39b).

Iron: Rome, strong and crushing. Roman Empire. 146 BC - AD 476 (Daniel 2:40).

Iron and Clay: A future ten-nation confederation. This is a divided kingdom of ten (Daniel 2:41–43).

So Where does the Millennial Reign of Jesus Occure on a Prophetic Timeline? I’m Glad you asked...

GO OVER MY ESCHATOLOGY TIMELINE ON THE PPT.

Daniel 7:24 “The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.”

Revelation 17:12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.”

There are several interpretations of what this final kingdom represents:

A Revived Roman Empire – Since the legs of iron represent Rome, many believe the feet and toes symbolize a future revived Roman Empire, possibly as a coalition of nations with both strong and weak elements.

Some suggest the European Union or another future federation could be its revival.

May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation again after 2,000 years.

The prophetic time clock starts to tick again:

It’s been said that God’s Prophetic Time Clock is the nation of Israel.

The rebirth of Israel in 1948 is like the “HOUR HAND”

The regaining of Jerusalem is like the “MINUTE HAND”

The building of the Third Temple is like the “SECOND HAND”

Since Israel has become a nation again, we have seen many powerful Globalist groups start up.

Discuss how for years mankind has tried to come together as one. Look how man organization and ideas have started up since Israels rebirth.

A Future Global Government with Ten Regional Divisions – Some view the ten toes as a global system where power is divided into ten regions.

This could include organizations like

the United Nations

Some have speculated recently they are not kingdoms but even Rich men or technocrats.

Even a mix of iron and clay to mean a mix of machines & humans, Iron & Clay.

Or other geopolitical alliances.

We don’t know for sure but what we know is, it will fall like the others did.

It will be take out by the stone that was cast down, the stone that was cut out not by human hands, which I believe is talking about Jesus at His second coming.

The Iron and Clay mix seems to indicate instability where some are stronger then others, leading to division and strife. (Not that we ever don’t get along)

Support: Revelation 17:12 speaks of ten kings ruling simultaneously before being destroyed.

Revelation 17:12 NKJV

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.

Sources:

John Walvoord, Daniel: The Key to Prophetic Revelation (1971) – Links the toes to future world powers.

Mark Hitchcock, The End (2012) – Suggests a final world order with ten regions.

Teaching: God’s sovereign plan governs the rise and fall of kingdoms; His word is trustworthy.

Application: Finding Peace in Uncertain Times

If you feel anxious or fearful about societal issues and the instability in today’s world, take heart—God’s promises offer hope and assurance. Engage in meaningful conversations that reflect His sovereignty.

Come join us for prayer on Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM, or set up a time to talk with me about what’s on your heart. You don’t have to carry these burdens alone. Talk about it with a trusted Christian friend who will pray with and for you.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." — Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)

3. Kingdom of Christ Confirmed (Daniel 2:44–45)

The Stone:

Daniel 2:44-45 (NKJV): “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Inasmuch 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 will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”

In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, a stone "cut without hands" smashes the feet and toes, bringing an end to all human kingdoms and establishing a new kingdom that lasts forever

Christological Focus: The stone is Jesus Christ, the Rock:

Matthew 21:42-44 (NKJV): “Jesus said to them, ‘Have you never read in the Scriptures: “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes”? Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.’”

Fulfilling the prophecy with His eternal reign.

Conclusion

Encouragement: Despite chaos and uncertainty, God’s plans unfold perfectly, offering believers peace and assurance through validated prophecy.

Challenge: Perhaps you may be currently facing a challenge, or one might come unexpectedly this week. Take it to Jesus and share it with a trusted Christian friend or the church so we can pray with you. Be BOLD in seeking God’s guidance, and be BOLD in following His direction as you address the challenge, trusting that He will guide you through it. And remember to give thanks to God throughout the process, keeping a heart of gratitude for all His help.

Saved: If you know Jesus as your Savior and someone approaches you for help, be BOLD. Pray with them and for them, and ask God how He wants you to assist them.

Unsaved: If you don’t know Jesus as your Savior and have never trusted in Him, know that His help is only guaranteed if you have a relationship with Him. There are many benefits to being His child—benefits that you won’t experience or be guaranteed if you don’t know Him as your Savior. Acts 16:31 “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
