Based upon the symbolism and historical analysis, the four kingdoms of Daniel’s vision as recorded in Daniel 2:38-40 and chapter 7, are BABYLON: (612-539 BC) represented by the head of gold (2:32) and a lion having the wings of an eagle (7:4).
MEDO-PERSIA: (539-331 BC) represented by the upper body of silver (2:32) and a bear (7:5). GREECE: (331-63 BC) represented by the belly and thighs made of bronze (2:32) and as a leopard with four wings and four heads (7:6). And… ROME: (63 BC – AD 476).
The fourth kingdom is “unlike” the first ones, in that it surfaces in TWO phases.
The FIRST phase of this kingdom is represented by legs of iron (2:32 and an unspecified beast with iron teeth and bronze claws (7:7). This was the fierce Roman Empire which dominated the known world for hundreds of years, and was in power during the time of Jesus’ birth, life, death and glorious resurrection.
The FINAL phase is a “Revived Roman Empire” or “New World Order” which will come on the world scene in the days leading up to the End Times.
This fourth kingdom is a confederacy of nations, some weak and some strong – represented in the great image by the feet of part iron and part clay. And so, this image is a view of the whole of world history – showing the ruling kingdoms of the earth – and we are now living in the feet of this image!
