Daniel 2: 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
In the prophetic dream, God stated through Daniel that the fourth kingdom would be partly strong and partly broken, meaning that it would never attain to the strength, or stature as ancient Babylon. We are now living in the toe nails of the image, and efforts have been made, and will be made at world unity. But even though satan will achieve a brief period of unity, via the institution of the mark of the beast, it is doomed to fail signally.
That’s because, unity that’s based on satanic principles will never stand for any length of time. There have been and there will be attempts made at world unity, but they have been shattered in various ways, at different times and for various reasons. The break up between Europe and Britain, namely Brexit is an example. And the rifts that are brewing between the United States, Europe, Canada, and other allies are another example.
God declares that they will not cleave one to another, even as iron cannot be mixed with miry clay, and therefore any hope of a peaceful union of antagonistic elements across the globe is basically a nothing burger, to put it mildly. In addition, the three phrases “they shall not cleave one to another”, “partly strong, and partly broken”, and “iron is not mixed with clay” means that there would be fractures and ruptured relationships along the way. It’s going exactly according to the script, so that students of the Bible should not be surprised or dismayed at what is unfolding across the globe.
Daniel 2:43 And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
