Hey, this works!!!...LOL
No really, it seems to be the Catholic Church as seated in Rome. It has given its political power over slowly during the centuries to a
multinational conglomerate of nations. It is still by far, the most powerful church in Christendom the world has. It is the foundation of widespread false Christianity and is not a bride, but a WHORE.
Coinciding with the iron/clay mix in
Daniel 2.....40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
(Political Rome)
41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.(
political/religious power struggle, religious spreads rapidly)
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.
(as in the power struggles of the Roman church in the DARK AGES)
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.
(spreading of the Catholic church in the world as Romes' only influence left in the end times)
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.
(as the Iron/clay is left in power, The Lord returns to end/destroy the "kingdoms of ALL men", to happen in the future, as we are waiting to see now)
Then this prophecy will find its fulfillment...Zach. 14:9...
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
