Daniel 2 represented the four empires Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome, and that the feet and toes of iron and clay showed that the Roman kingdom would

eventually fragment and divide…Most of them also understood that these fragments would ever attempt to recombine to reform the old empire, without success, until the return of

Christ.

The fourth empire of Daniel 2 was represented as the fourth beast in Daniel 7, was the same beast as the beast of the

sea in Revelation 13. The combination of the descriptions of

the beasts of Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 (together with Revelation 16 and 17),

were understood to be a prophecy of this reconstitution of a new Roman empire comprising Western European nations,

with the antiChrist (papal) system as the combining and dominant element.

Not a single expositor interpreted any of these symbols as… America, the Arabs, Israel,

Any interpretation other than Roman European affairs under the influence of the Papacy would have led these expositors to wrong conclusions and
