Feet of the statue. Nebuchadnezzar’s prophetic dream recorded in Daniel 2 is a curiosity that has intrigued people down the ages. It portrayed as a huge statue, the central thread of empires, including Nebuchadnezzar’s neo-Babylonian Empire, down the ages. The head of gold is Babylon. The iron legs are interesting because for the time of the Book of Daniel it was a future empire. It is usually assumed to be the Roman Empire. Then the dream foretold feet of the statue made of iron mixed with clay. We might be seeing today how Rome-like iron fascism can be mixed in with the ordinary masses when we look at Ukraine where fascist groups of iron hard fighting men mix in with less steely fighters. Now the future foretold by the dream might be a spreading out into Europe and beyond pf this mix of ordinary people with fascist fighters. Yet the dream goes on to a final countdown in which a stone from a mountain runs and hits the feet and down comes the statue. The rock that hits it is in the Daniel 2 dream interpretation explained to be a kingdom of God which will go on forever.
