Part 4 of 6 – Holy Roman Empire Reborn

Equipping God's Saints (Followers of Christ) through the Prophecies of the End Times …

In the Prophecy of Daniel, Chapter 2, it ultimately says that this stone comes rolling down out of the mountain and smites the image on the feet. That's a critical insight because it tells us the stone coming out of the mountain represents the Kingdom of God coming, and He's going to come and destroy all of the governments of men.

In many places in scripture we are taught that mankind will be allowed to rule himself until the time of the Kingdom of God. Once mankind has been given time to learn that he doesn't know how to rule himself, then the Bible says,

“God will come, put down the thrones of men, and establish His Kingdom, a Kingdom that will never pass away and never be destroyed.”

That's what is depicted here by the stone rolling down the mountain. It smites the image on the feet. The feet were iron mingled with clay. The iron mingled with clay symbolizes the Holy Roman Empire. This tells us that the Holy Roman Empire has to be in power at the time of the Messiah coming to put down the thrones of men and to establish His Kingdom. This teaches us that Jesus will return to this earth during the time of the Holy Roman Empire.

A lot of people say the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist in 1806 with the last Empire decaying, the last element of the Holy Roman Empire. But it's not true.

You and I have watched the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire over the last 50 years. Most people did not even know what they were seeing. We're going to understand it as we continue on through this lesson.

Notice what it says in Daniel 2:44. It states there, after talking about the feet and the toes of the image:

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed:”

In the days of WHAT kings? It's talking about the days of the kings symbolized by the ten toes. The ten toes are the very last part of this entire world government structure from the time of 600 BC until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to this earth to establish His Kingdom. It's taught about the ten kings that will be in coalition and support the Antichrist at the endtime, at the time when Jesus Christ is to return to the earth.

The big question is, am I simply asserting this, or is there Biblical truth that that in fact is the interpretation of this prophecy? Let's go to another place in scripture to get absolute proof that this is true.

In Revelation 17:12 there is another prophecy of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, only here it depicts the Ten-King alliance that will support the Antichrist as Ten Horns instead of Ten Toes.

The Ten Toes of Daniel 2:44 are the exact same thing as the Ten Horns. It symbolizes the last Ten-Nation Union that will give its support to the person who will rule the endtime world government, right before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. That person is the Antichrist. Revelation 17:12-13 says:

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”

The beast here is the endtime world government and the Antichrist is the world leader that will rule the endtime world government.

These Ten Kings receive power as kings one hour with the Antichrist. Does this literally mean “sixty seconds” when it says “one hour”? Of course not. It's a figure of speech. It's saying for a very short segment of time these ten kings will receive power.

These will have one mind and shall give their power and strength to the beast. We can already see what it means when it says “one mind”.

Today we hear a lot of people saying that the “World Community” says, “Iran must do this” or “Someone else must do that”. There has now been a common mind established. That's the way this is going to work, only it's going to become more and more pronounced as we get closer and closer to the Second Coming. These have one mind. They give their power voluntarily. They give their strength to the endtime world dictator that we know of as the Antichrist.

It goes on to say in Revelation 17:14:

“These (the Ten Kings) shall make war with the Lamb (Jesus Christ), and the Lamb shall overcome them for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”

Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. So when Jesus Christ comes to establish His Kingdom, these Ten Kings, in alliance with the Antichrist, are actually going to fight against Jesus Christ at the time of His Coming.

Do you remember what John the Baptist said when Jesus came on the scene to be baptized? John looked up and saw Him and said,

“Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.”

So Jesus is the Lamb. When He comes back, they're going to actually resist Him and the Bible says,

“...and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”

When Jesus comes back, by then we will have met Him in the air. The people who are part of the church of Jesus Christ, those who are born again, will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. We will then go with Him. He's going to come down to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem for the Battle of Armageddon. That's where the world empires are going to resist Jesus Christ, but He will overcome them because He is Lord of all lords and He is King of all kings and those with Him are going to be called and chosen and faithful.

This is really important if you want to be with Him. Everybody is called. The Bible says, “Many are called”. But then it says, “Few are chosen”. Once you are called, then you need to conform your life to Jesus Christ and learn how to be His true disciple and walk with Him. After you're called and after you're chosen, then it's critical that you be faithful.

We've looked at the prophecy fortelling the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire. I've said to you that this actually has already happened. In the next lesson, you are going to see the details of how this prophecy has been fulfilled. This is absolutely incredible that you and I just witnessed this great prophetic fulfillment in recent times.

It actually happened November 3, 2009.

One of the five greatest prophetic fulfillments in the last 2000 years. The amazing thing is most of the world did not even know it happened. They did not know one of the most important prophecies in the Bible took place. If you understand the Bible, you did know. You kept track of it.

That happened with the First Coming of Jesus Christ. At His First Coming, there were 100 specific prophecies and He fulfilled every one of them, but most people totally missed it. Just like most people missed the rebirth of the Holy Roman Empire that just happened recently. Why did they miss it? Because they did not know and understand the prophecies.

In summary, What is important for us to remember about this Holy Roman Empire Prophecy? The feet of iron mingled with clay. It's critical for us to know there will be two leaders of this Holy Roman Empire. There's always been a political leader and a spiritual leader. In the next lesson you're going to find out that there will once again be a spiritual leader and a political leader, only according to the prophecy, the political leader will be the Antichrist and the spiritual leader will be the False Prophet.
