In Daniel's prophecy, the clay in the feet of the immense image symbolizes the common people. They have the power to influence political leaders and their policies. (Daniel 2:41-43) Could a danger lie there for us? Yes! If we do not safeguard our heart, we might compromise our neutrality. For example, we could be tempted to embrace the views of those who advocate change by means of protests or political endeavors. (Proverbs 4:23; 24:21) How can we acoid that danger? We must remember that Satan is the world's ruler. (John 5 ;19) and God's Kingdom is our only hope. - PSALM 146:3-5.
Second, as represented by the feet of the immense image, Anglo-America is the last world power foretold by the Bible. It will not be succeeded by another political power. Rather, it will come to a swift end at Armageddon ehen God's zkingdom crushes it and all other human governments. - REVELATION 16:13, 14, 16; 19:19, 20.
How can this prophecy benefit us? Daniel's prophecy provides additional evidence that we are living in the time of the end. More than 2,500 years ago, Daniel foretold tat after Babylon, four other world powers would have significant impact on God's people. Furthermore, he revealed that the Anglo-American World Power would be the last of these. This gives us comfort and hope that soon God's Kingdom will sweep away every trace of human rule and take full charge of the earth. - Daniel 2:44.
Note: Remember, God's idea of time is not the same as ours, his is slower and wiser. Also, remember, Noah tried to warn people of the flood in his day, but no one would listen and look what happened. Also, most people don't believe this, but those people in the Bible actually existed back then. The Bible in not just a book. It is real life with real people who actually existed back then. With real events, history. cities and God's Son Jesus Christ who actually came down to earth, to be born in immaculent conceptiom by the virgin Mary, to take away our sin for the chance to later live in perfectio with everlasting life on a Paradise earth. But in order to do so, we must have the true God, Jehovah in our life, not the tradional non-existent god, but the true God. Neither God, Nor Jesus Christ ever observed any birthdays or holidays, nor got involved in politics of any kind. So, be warned as the Bible says, it, like God does not lie.
Next time: The Kingdom Is in Place! - Beware of the Clay!
