Feet of Iron and Clay Prophesy . Gods Kingdom will crush all human rulerships, including the seventh world power. 1:1. One was of a metallic image with a head of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of copper, legs of iron, and feet of iron and clay. It is as if the waters have dried up. (Revelation 16:12; 17:15) For example, when the image of the beast first appeared, the religions of Christendom had a lot of power in most Western countries. Thus, the image seen by Nebuchadnezzar well pictured how human rule would continue to be exercised in opposition to divine sovereignty even after his kingdom ended. That image, which was large and the brightness of which was extraordinary, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was dreadful. And rise it didas the United Nations.Rev. See auction date, current bid, equipment specs, and seller information for each lot. Yes! THE IMAGE OF THE WILD BEAST DESTROYS THE HARLOT. I've never understood why the different empire's depicted in the prophesy (Babylonian, Persian, Anglo-American etc) were agreed upon as those specific empires. The result? John saw a vision of a two-horned wild beast that spoke like a dragon. They have the power to influence political leaders and their policies. 18 After false religion is destroyed, the wild beast, Satans governments on earth, will attack Gods Kingdom. (a)What did the small horn do? 51:1-4). Daniel told the king: 'God has revealed the future to you. 18. 13. For example, it proved its power by winning World WarI. This last world power may be weaker than that represented by the legs of iron, but it will not disintegrate on its own. (b)What does the clay in the feet of the image mean? Do those promises appeal to you? This brings us to a very important question: When will that final destruction occur? The newspaper The Globe and Mail stated: Some of the most respected thinkers about science and society are issuing alarming prognostications about humanity coming to an end.. its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. The League of Nations disappeared when World WarII started. 2:40 we see that the nature of "iron" is to grind into powder, "as iron beats to powder and subdues all things.". May2011. 19 We are living during the time of the seventh head of the beast of Revelation chapter13. Jehovah Reveals What Must Shortly Take Place. It remained strong for hundreds of years after that. The sign of the end includes global war, great earthquakes, pestilences, and major food shortages. (Luke 21:10, 11; Matthew 24:7,8; Mark 13:8) Also marking the last days would be a serious moral and spiritual breakdown in society. (b)What does the clay in the feet of the image represent? 493-499 - The Watchtower1957, bi10 Daniel 1:1-12:13 - King James Version (bi10), w77 7/1 pp. Will it exercise its dominion indefinitely? The feet were not clay plus gold, nor clay and silver, nor clay and brass, but clay with iron. Literal Standard Version its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part of them of clay. 17:1-6) This harlot fittingly stands for all false religion, foremost of which are the churches of Christendom. Others say publicly that the world should get rid of all religions. So it seems that the number of toes is not important, just as the number of arms, hands, fingers, legs, or feet the image had is not important. "And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile," (Daniel 2:42). WE LIVE in a very special and momentous timethat of the appearance of the seventh world power of Bible history. (b)How is Satans organization described, and what position does the Christian take toward it? 31. How do Daniel and John portray the end of human rulership? 14. 2:43) In the Anglo-American World Power, people have risen up to claim their rights through civil rights campaigns, labor unions, and independence movements. Do secular history and archaeology agree with what the Bible says about this ancient land? Daniel continued: In the days of those [final] kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. 17. , but they will not prove to be sticking together. (Daniel 2:33, 41-43) This lack of sticking together in unity became apparent as decolonization proceeded, as nationalism flourished, and as the developing countries gained in stature. There will be genuine peace, not just the absence of war. Brzezinski, along with other world leaders, was interviewed by journalist Georgie Anne Geyer while she was preparing an article published in 1985 entitled Our Disintegrating World. In it she quoted Brzezinski as having said: The factors that make for international instability are gaining the historical upper hand over the forces that work for more organized cooperation. There are many books and scholars to confirm what these metals represent. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It is not depicted as an eighth head on the original wild beast. 17. Or, according to the vision of Daniel 7:13, 14, the glorified Son of man in heaven was brought before the Ancient of Days and was given the everlasting kingdom to which he was the rightful, sworn Heir. Feet of clay means a fatal flaw, a negative characteristic or attribute that is hidden in an otherwise admirable human being. Daniel does specifically mention that the toes would be made of iron and clay. 6 Nebuchadnezzar listened intently as Daniel explained: You, Oking, happened to be beholding, and, look! In the fifth century, the Roman Empire started to be broken into smaller kingdoms. TERMS OF USE The seventh head of the beast had now emerged as the Anglo-American World Power. All previous earthly kingdoms will be brought to an end. It indicates that during the reign of the seventh world power of Bible history, a contemporaneous eighth power would be specifically set up for the purpose of uniting the nations. Jehovah Reveals What Must Shortly Take Place. 18 In that chapter 2 of Daniel interprets the prophetic dream that the God of the heavens sent to Nebuchadnezzar, emperor of the Babylonian World Power, in the second year after he had destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the temple built by Davids son, King Solomon. Nationalism exploded with full force. Nothing will be left of the world powers that the image represents, The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom1985, The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom1978, The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom (Study)2022, The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom (Simplified)2012. The harlot will remain a potent force, attempting to bend kings to her will until God plants an idea in the hearts of those in power. The objective is to show that the Bible is trustworthy and inspired of God and that its message is one of hope for an end to the suffering caused by mans cruel domination of his fellow man. 34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. And the clay represents democracy, which is a new concept arguably inspired by various historic landmarks such as the French Revolution. 2:31-33. The prophecy at Daniel 2:44 states that Gods Kingdom will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms. That prophecy refers only to the kingdoms that are part of the image. Daniel discloses that in the feet and toes of the image, there was a noteworthy change of materials. 11 Does the number of toes of the image have special meaning? Esau and Ishmael: Feet of Iron and Clay As we painfully experienced this week with murder of four innocent civilians in prayer and a young Druze policeman who attempted to save them, Israel. CLAY AND IRON FEET In Daniel Chapter 2, there is a description of an immense image of many different metals or elements. They are described as an amalgam of iron and clay. This is the final article in a series of seven in consecutive issues of Awake! The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom (Study)2022, The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom1962, The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom1978, The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs Kingdom2012. 17 False religion will not lose its power gradually and then disappear. . But Daniel does not mention how many toes the image has. Daniel 2:41-43 "the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it. That image, which was large and the brightness of which was extraordinary, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was dreadful. The British Empire gave way to the Anglo-American alliance, in many respects a dual English-speaking world power that has lasted until the present.See the box A Noteworthy Alliance.. 2:41-43) Could a danger lie there for us? God also told John that the secondary part of the seed would be revived to increased spiritual activity. (a)How did the seventh world power manifest ironlike strength? (Read Daniel 2:41-43.) c Just as Daniel prophesied, during World WarII, the Anglo-American World Power caused vast ruin. The prophecies of Daniel and John have come true exactly as they were written. After World WarII, this trend accelerated. (a)What will the wild beast do? One was of a metallic image with a gold head, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of copper, legs of iron and feet of iron and clay. (2Pet. Yes, you may say, pointing to the end of the Cold War, to the greater cooperation between East and West, and to the substantial progress being made in world disarmament. The final destruction of Gods opposers will be a spectacular fulfillment of the prophecy at Genesis 3:15, mentioned in the first article in this series. What about the final part of the image, the feet and ten toes of iron and clay? (Rev. 11 Does the number of toes of the image have special meaning? 1:10) It was not until World WarI that the seventh head began operating as a united world power. Later, in the 1960s and 1970s, however, many former colonies chose more authoritarian forms of government. 612-625 - The Watchtower1971, w59 5/1 pp. Therefore, the number seems no more significant than the fact that the image had multiple arms, hands, fingers, legs, and feet. As the number of people involved in the political process increases, however, so also does the difficulty in achieving a political consensus. Jehovah told John in a vision that this would happen. Finally Daniel, a God-fearing Israelite captive, came forward and gave Nebuchadnezzar not only the dream but also its interpretation. The result is inevitable. The religions of Christendom are surely part of Babylon the Great. What can we learn from Johns vision of the wild beast with seven heads, from Daniels vision of the beast with ten horns, and from what Daniel said about the giant image in Nebuchadnezzars dream? We used to be taught that the clay and iron was anglo-america because they never . Jehovah . This is what happened to an organization that appeared after World WarI. Britain and the United States urged other nations to join this organization. However, from the time the Anglo-American World Power came into existence, that iron has been mixed with clay. This world power was the seventh head of the beast. Sorry, there was an error loading the video. But Daniel specifically says that the toes are made of iron and clay. (a)What will the wild beast do, and with what outcome? However, when describing the image, Daniel does not mention the number of toes. But does anyone have the answers? A little over 1,900 years ago, when those words were written, five of the seven kings, or political empires, had fallen. They were Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece. What does it do? By the 1760s, this island nation had become the mighty British Empire. 7. Therefore, the number seems no more significant than the fact that the image had multiple arms, hands, fingers, legs, and feet. The Bible leaves us in no doubt. Human feet have a quarter of all muscles, ligaments and bones that are found in the human body. 12,13. 17:10,11) But it does receive authority to act as a king to carry out a specific task, one that triggers a chain of events that will change history. It disappeared with the onset of World WarII. . (Matthew 24:45-47; Galatians 3:26-29) The Anglo-American World Power fought against those holy ones. (a)How did the seventh world power manifest ironlike strength? How did this head treat the seed of the woman? It was supposed to unite the nations and speak for them.d (See footnote.) What, though, about the feet of the image? But there was to be a seventh head that would replace Rome. Before Daniels time, both Egypt and Assyria had oppressed the Israelites, the chosen people of the Bibles Author. For example, it proved how powerful it was by winning World WarI and World WarII, and it has acted with strength like iron many times since then.c (See footnote.)

How do the visions of Daniel and John show that all governments of the world will be destroyed? 8:24) For example, the United States caused terrible ruin on an unprecedented scale when it dropped two atomic devices on an enemy of the dual world power. (b)What is the identity of the seventh head of the wild beast? 617-623 - The Watchtower1975, w61 6/15 pp. 4 In Daniels prophecy of the beast with ten horns, another horn, a small one, comes up and replaces three of the ten horns. The ten horns of the beast that Daniel saw mean the kingdoms that came from the Roman Empire. The ten horns sprouting from the head of that fearsome beast represent kingdoms that grew out of that empire. Part 8A Political Mixture of Iron and Moist Clay. May2011, Audio download options Now the fragility, or brittleness of "democracy" has been suggested, and indeed may be part of of it. How?

Daniels prophecy says that the clay means the offspring of mankind, or the common people. This description coincides with the time when the seventh head the Anglo-American World Power would come to prominence. Finally, the feet are partly iron and clay representing a future global alliance or empire where clay may represent our human flesh as God formed us from clay (see Job 33:6). 7 What is the relationship between the seventh head of the wild beast and the immense image? Concerning the seven powers, or kings, the Bible foretold: There are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a short while.*Revelation 17:10. 65 In his dream the king of Babylon saw the representation of a continuous series of political world powers, from the Babylonian World Power of Nebuchadnezzars dynasty down to and including the Biblically Seventh World Power, the Anglo-American World Power of our twentieth century. #bible prophecy expo #prophecy prophecy #bible prophecy #revelation 6 #revelation 6:1-2 #revelation 6:3-4 #revelation 6:5-6 #revelation 6:7-8 #Daniel's vision #Nebuchadnezzar's dreams Time Will come that this following event Will happen in the near future: 1. (Psalm 83:18) The Witnesses program of Bible education is helping countless individuals and families to replace harmful lifestyles with clean and peaceful conduct that conforms to Gods standards. Daniel 2 (the second chapter of the Book of Daniel) tells how Daniel related and interpreted a dream of Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon.In his night dream, the king saw a gigantic statue made of four metals, from its head of gold to its feet of mingled iron and clay; as he watched, a stone "not cut by human hands" destroyed the statue and became a mountain filling the whole world. THE ANGLO-AMERICAN WORLD POWER AND THE FEET OF IRON AND CLAY. It shows that the kings of the entire inhabited earth will be gathered against Jehovah on the great day of God the Almighty. (Rev. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10, King James Version) Have you wondered what life on earth will be like when all humans love and obey God? (Dan. 40. That is the time when the Anglo-American World Power would arise. 6 Shortly after the start of the Lords day, the seventh head launched an attack on Gods peoplethe remaining ones of Christs brothers on earth. We celebrate a common heritage. The breasts and arms of silver depicted Medo-Persia. (See the chart on pages12-13.) Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon from 624 to 582B.C.E., was disturbed by a dream. Why the Changes in World Governments Since 1914? The common people undermine the ability of the Anglo-American World Power to act with ironlike strength.

What does the frightening ten-horned beast represent, and what do the ten horns picture? . 4 pp. (a) What is the source of world disunity? (Read Daniel 2:44.) If not, how will it exit the world stage? And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. Eventually, the seventh head would take the place of Rome. The Roman Empire (or some expression of it) has not yet become ten toes and therefore this is a future fulfillment waiting to happen. . But it was not yet the seventh head of the wild beast. Yes, when will the stoneGods Kingdomremove every trace of human rulership? Appropriately, the number ten as used in the Bible signifies completeness as to earthly things. The Bible makes clear that this war involves the kings of the entire inhabited earth.Revelation 16:13, 14,16. What will happen as a result? 314-326 - Mans Salvation (sl), w57 8/15 pp. What, though, about the feet of the image? And even though it is weaker than Rome, the legs of iron, it will not come to an end on its own. The British Empire, states one reference work, was the largest the world had ever seen. It included 372million inhabitants and extended over 11million square miles [28million sqkm]., At a joint press conference with Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom, President Barack Obama of the United States affirmed in July2010: We can never say it enough. The United States and the United Kingdom enjoy a truly special relationship. (2Peter 1:19) We need to obey Jehovah right now and support his Kingdom.Revelation 14:6,7. a In the Bible, the number ten often means a complete group. Logically, then, the feet and toes would symbolize the final manifestations of human rule that would exist during the time of the end, as Daniel expressed it. Britain continued to grow in wealth and power, and in the 19thcentury, it was the richest and most powerful nation on earth. Soon Jehovah will cause the political elements of Satans system, as represented by the United Nations, to attack false religion. Why have these threats of world breakdown emerged in precisely the era when man has achieved more scientific breakthroughs and knowledge than in all his previous history? These questions posed by journalist Geyer are thought provoking. The clay, therefore, represents elements within the sphere of influence of the Anglo-American World Power, elements that make it weaker than the solid iron of the Roman Empire. According to Revelation 17:10, the seventh world power "must remain a short while." How long will that prove to be? Which world power does the seventh head mean, and how did it treat the seed of the woman? Today, the churches and their ministers have lost the respect and support of the masses. In the year 1800, European nations controlled 35percent of the earths surface, but by 1914 the figure had risen to over 84percent! 3-8 - The Watchtower (Simplified)2012, lfb lesson 60 pp. "The Feet of Iron and Clay" Sunday, 24 October This Sunday we will be continuing our series "Kingdoms in Conflict." When we left last Sunday; God was beginning to show the king- Nebuchadnezzar through a dream; the kingdoms of this world in the form of an image or idol. Understandably, they have been unable to stick together in a world unity. When giving the sign of the end, Jesus Christ stated: This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) How has this prophecy unfolded? In the prophecy about the giant image, the feet are the last part of the image. Indeed, the title of their primary journal is The Watchtower Announcing Jehovahs KingdomJehovah being Gods personal name. Perfect health will prevail. Such an event may have seemed unlikely just decades ago. The parallel prophecy in Revelation reveals the larger picture. 47:1-3; Jer. Daniel does specifically mention that the toes would be made of iron and clay. 12,13. 33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 20. Upon awakening from sleep Nebuchadnezzar could not remember his most unusual dream and it disturbed him a great deal.

You kept on looking until a stone was cut out not by hands, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and of molded clay and crushed them. (Acts 1:8; 10:34,35) As members of all nations, citizens of every type of human government, they zealously announce that the time of the end has begun and that human rule has had its daysoon to be replaced by divine rule.b Thus, the bold message they proclaim confronts all existing political powers. The former things have passed away.Revelation 21:3,4. 33its legs of iron,and its feet part of them of iron, and part of them of clay.

But Britain fought against them one by one and became more important than they were. . Britain did not stop the United States from becoming a powerful country and even protected it with the British navy. By means of them, as well as by means of labor unions, lobbies, environmental groups, and untold other citizen and special-interest groups, people power is now speaking more often and more loudly than ever before. In particular, they believe that the feet of iron and clay symbolize the Anglo-American World Power (Britain and the United States). Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. But will we obey the warnings in these prophecies? ^ par. THE ANGLO-AMERICAN WORLD POWER AND THE FEET OF IRON AND CLAY, Before giving the interpretation, Daniel recalled the dream to Nebuchadnezzars mind: Its head was of good gold, its breasts and its arms were of silver, its belly and its thighs were of copper, its legs were of iron, its feet were partly of iron and partly of molded clay. (Dan. During the second year of Nebuchadnezzars reign as world ruler of Bible prophecy (606/605B.C.E. 13:17 4.

(b)What can we conclude about the number of toes? 10,11. But the harlot will not lose her power gradually. (Daniel 2:43) People have weakened the Anglo-American World Power when they have fought to have civil rights, to have more rights at their workplace, and even to become independent nations.
