Remember: ROME (the 4th kingdom / The legs of iron) was in power when the MESSIAH was revealed but it made no difference to God's Purpose! It was the "appointed time" for MESSIAH to be revealed. SOVEREINITY OF GOD ____________________________ "none can stay His hand"

Rom.11:25
The MYSTERY of GOD / Daniel's people / Jews was to bring God's Redemptive Plan to CHRIST the CENTER PIECE / as concerning the flesh (woman's seed) Christ came
CHRIST / THE MESSIAH / THE LAST ADAM came and reconciled both JEW (Daniel's people) and GENTILE as ONE MAN in HIMSELF in order to make THE LAST EVE / THE BRIDE. Then they will complete the purpose of Gen.1:26-31
WHAT DANIEL WAS SEEING is how GOD would bring the children of the flesh of Abraham to CHRIST / THE MESSIAH
Activity of 4th kingdom (the "legs" of Nebuchadnezzar's image)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOW look at activity of 4th kingdom (the "legs" / ROME during the 5th and 6th day of God's Redemptive Week. The chart below is a combination of all of Daniel's Visions and Prophecies (MYSTERY) presenting ONE PICTURE that is in harmony with God's "INTENT" (MYSTERY) from the beginning of the world. (Eph.3:1-12)
(1) Daniel prophesied MESSIAH'S / CHRIST'S first coming during the reign of the 4th kingdom / ROME (Dan.9:1-25,
John.1:1-41; 4:24)
(a) Released from captivity to restore city and sanctuary (Dan.9:24-25)
(b) THEN there would be a waiting time for THE MESSIAH (Dan.9:25-26)
(c) This waiting time was the time period between the Old and New Testaments.[0]
(d) The MESSIAH was revealed (John.1:1-41; 4:24)
(2) Daniel prophesied that after this waiting time the MESSIAH / CHRIST would be cut off, but not for himself
(Dan.9:26, Isa.53:1-8)
(a) Cut off (crucified) (Isa,53:1-8,)
(b) But not for Himself (2Cor.5:21) He gave Himself for His Church / Bride
(c) The building of the Church (Not made with hands)
(d) The decline of the Church / Rome to overtake the Church
(e) The corruption of scripture and dceline into the Dark Ages
(f) God foresaw this / prophesied through Joel that there would
be a restoration which started with Luther fighting against ROME / POPE / The only Church
(g) BUT ROME (4th kingdom) REJECTED IT!
(h) Two Churches PROTESTANT / ROMAN CATHOLIC / 4th kingdom / from 1517 - 1800 AD
(i) THEN another attempt of the ROME / 4th kingdom to corrupt the Greek Text / starting with the Revised
Version) until our present day.
(3) Daniel prophesied about the coming ANTI-MESSIAH
(4) Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's "stone cut out the mountain without
hands" to be the Second Coming of MESSIAH / CHRIST (Dan.2:1-45)

b. NOW look at activity of 4th kingdom (the "legs" / ROME during the 5th and 6th day of God's Redemptive Week. The chart below is a combination of all of Daniel's Visions and Prophecies presenting ONE PICTURE that is in harmony with God's "INTENT" from the beginning of the world. (Eph.3:1-12) (1) Daniel prophesied MESSIAH'S / CHRIST'S first coming during the reign of the 4th kingdom / ROME (Dan.9:1-25, John.1:1-41; 4:24) (a) Released from captivity to restore city and sanctuary (Dan.9:24-25) (b) THEN there would be a waiting time for THE MESSIAH (Dan.9:25-26) (c) This waiting time was the time period between the Old and New Testaments.[0] (d) The MESSIAH was revealed (John.1:1-41; 4:24) (2) Daniel prophesied that after this waiting time the MESSIAH / CHRIST would be cut off, but not for himself (Dan.9:26, Isa.53:1-8) (a) Cut off (crucified) (Isa,53:1-8,) (b) But not for Himself (2Cor.5:21) (3) Daniel prophesied about the coming ANTI-MESSIAH (4) Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's "stone cut out the mountain without hands" to be the Second Coming of MESSIAH / CHRIST (Dan.2:1-45)
(a) The Old Covenant was to bring us to Christ. This was the center piece / The kingdoms of this world is NOT the center piece (b) The last Adam and Eve is being prepared to be married (c) To bring us back into the garden (redeemed) (2) We now know that "He"[0] JESUS IS THE MESSIAH (John.1:1-41; 4:23-24) (3) Daniel prophesied that when MESSIAH / JESUS (John.1:1-41; 4:23-24) comes He will (confirm / complete Dan.9:27, Gal.3:17-24) the covenant that God made with "Daniel's people." (The Jews today Dan.9:24) NOTE: It is NOT MAKE A COVENANT, it is "CONFIRM" (exceed, confirm, be great, be mighty, prevail, put to more (strength), strengthen, be stronger, be valiant." (Strong's OT#1396) (a) The "covenant" is what God promised Adam and Eve (Gen.3:15), Noah (Gen.9:12-17, 2Peter.3:1-9), Abraham (Gen.12:1-2; 17:1-8, 21:1-12; 25:1-11, Gal.3:1-29), Isaac (Gal.4:21-31), and Jacob (Gen.28:1-5), Moses (Deut.18:15, Acts.3:22), and David (1Chron.17:1-15, Acts,3:20). (b) The purpose for the confirmation.[0] (Dan.9:24) To finish transgression, to make a end to sins, to bring reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the most Holy (Dan.9:24) Review: PHASE 5, Page 7 (c) The apostle John says, when JESUS / MESSIAH came unto His own. To the Jew first because of covenant Matt. Lost sheep THEN to the Gentile / whosoever will MESSIAH NOTE: It was a whosoever Gospel (John.3:6, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12) (d) JESUS / MESSIAH came to build a Temple without hands / a spiritual Temple (Hag.2:1-9, 1Cor.6:19, Eph.2:20-22, 1Peter.2:5) (e) Rome (the 4th kingdom) was in power and the Jews that crucified JESUS THE MESSIAH (f) The "legs" strecthing" overspreading to the consmmation (the end) (g) THEN 10 horns (kings Dan.7:23 / 10 toes Dan.2:41-42) shall arise out of this (4th kingdom / ROME) after devouring the whole world in the latter end of the 6th day of God's Redemptive Week. (Dan.7:23) (h) THEN "another shall rise after them; (the 10 kings) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (i) This is confirmed by the fact that the "stone" will "brake in pieces the iron (the 4th kingdom), the brass (the 3rd. kingdom / Greece), the Silver (the 2nd. kingdom / Media-Persia), and the gold (the 1st. kingdom / Babylon)
(1) Don't forget this 4th kingdom had two legs "part of the potters' clay and part of iron" "shall devour the whole earth" but divided. "Partly strong and partly broken." (Dan.7:23-24) (2) This image will have two feet (obviously at the end of the two legs / latter days) with ten toes which are ten kings that will come from a division that would come in the latter days. (Dan.2:40-41) See PHASE 5, Page.4 (3) Out of these 10 HORNS / kings. arises a "little Horn" (1Thes.5:1-2,) This is the antichrist (3) He has 3 1/2 yrs to continue / 42 months, 1260 days, time, times and dividing of times (4) The "stone cut out of the mountain without hands" is the Second Coming of JESUS / THE MESSIAH that will brake in pieces (a) The iron / 4th kingdom / History ROME (b) The brass / 3rd. kingdom / GREECE (c) The clay / Latter day (d) The silver / 2nd kingdom / MEDIA-PERSIA (e) and the gold / Babylon (f) The 10 toes / clay iron will not stick / unity but fail. 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. (g) And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. (5) These kingdoms must be there for JESUS / THE MESSIAH to destroy them and the antichrist (a) The Beast or antichrist is revealed having these identifying marks (b) 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. 43 And whereas thou sawest 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. 44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. (3) Another point is that the time frame is the SAME as Dan.7:25; 12:7
The antichrist / beast that rises up out the the Sea and continues for 42 months has the identification marks of Babylon, Media-Persia and Greece
Lion / Dan.2:38; 7:1-4 [v.17]), Media-Persia (the bear / Dan.2:7:5 [v.17]) and Greece (Dan.2:6; 7:1-4 [v.17]) in the beast / antichrist / Little Horn during the "time, times and dividing of time."(Rev.13:1-3, Dan.7:14, 2Thes.2:1-9) the time of the end. (The 6th day of God's Redemptive Week.
(6) Daniel's people (The House of Judah / Jews) rejected and CUT OFF His confirmation and broke their covenant with God. (Rom.11, Heb.6:, 2Tim.2:13) (7) They continued with their traditions for 70 years after the Cross / in competion with JESUS / MESSIAH building His Spiritual Temple made without hands (8) This was the abomination that overspread (the gap / Rome) until the time of the end (9) This was blindness happen to Israel until... the full number of the Gentiles be brought in (10) This caused them to be "broken of from the "good olive tree" (i.e. the covenant of promise) with the promise to grafted back into the "good olive" where the Gentile are already (Lev.26:1-33, Rom.11:, 2Cor.3:1-18) (11) This allowed the Gentiles grafted into the "good olive tree" (Rom.9, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12 Gave to a foolish Nation Matt.29, Hosea.2:10, Rom.10:18-21 / Matt.13:10-17) This was the purpose from the beginning of the World (Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12) (12) This time of the Gentiles will stop after the "full number" be come in (a) Devours the whole earth" (Dan.7:23) (b) Then it becomes 10 kingdoms (Dan.7:23-24) (c) Out of these 10 kings / horns, arises a little horn (the antichrist with all the identifications marks of the Lion, Leopard and Bear (2) How can they be destroyed if they are not there? (See Page.4) NOTE: Remember, when Daniel interpreted all these kingdoms (Dan.2:1-45; 7:1-28; 8:1-13, 17-25) he wanted to know more but was told to shut up the Book "to the time of the end" (the legs, the gap in the time-line. (Dan.12:1-13) This "gap" shows up in Dan.7:1-28; 9:24-27, and 11:1-45
b. The Church experienced a "spiritual decline to the dark ages (1) The Church itself allowed a rejection of God's Purpose (2) ROME took over the Church (Decline) (3) Tried to corrupt and pollute God's Word and is still today
(9) . c. This 4th kingdom does not stopped because Daniel interprets that this 4th kingdom will "devour the whole earth." (Dan.7:23-25) (1) Now there is ONLY ONE kingdom. (Dan.2:40-45; (2) The one kingdom will then be divided in 10 kingdoms (3) Then out of these 10 kings / horns shall arise a "little horn" (a) This little horn will speak great words against the most High (b) This little horn shall wear out the saints of the most High (c) This little horn shall and think to change times and laws (d) And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." (Dan.7:23-25, Rev.13:1-18) (4) Where is the evidence of this 4th kingdom during this "GAP" (or time period / stretched out legs of iron)? Two things are happening. (a) JESUS / MESSIAH begins to build His Church made without hands that Jew and Gentile together in Christ. (Rom.11:20-25, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12) (b) Israel rejecting JESUS / MESSIAH and Israel is broken off from the "good olive tree" (Rom.9:1-33; 10:1-21; 11:1-36) (c) The Church spiritually declining down into the dark ages and ROME (the 4th kingdom devouring the Church (3rd Cent. to the 1500 AD) (See PHASE 2 Page.) (d) Rome continual to come against the Church even in restoration to our present day, while pretending to be Godly but denying the power thereof (2) The "Little Horn" (antichrist) comes out of the 10 kingdoms, which comes ot of the 4th kingdom devoring the whole earth
