do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8)
The power point presentations are the first two of five that show how the prophecies of Daniel culminate some two thousand years later when the Man of SIN, the Mashiach takes his seat in the Temple of God and proclaims himself to be God.
In the first presentation, it is pointed out that there are numerous misinterpretations of this prophecy, which are based on the assumptions that Rome didn't exist before Babylon and the statue had ten toes, before the true revelation is revealed, which you will acknowledge because of the proofs provided.
To say that Rome didn't exist before Babylon correlates to saying that Satan (aka the Ancient Serpent, the Devil, Lucifer) didn't exist before Adam and Eve.
The fact that the giant statue has no mention of how many toes it possesses cannot be overlooked, especially when the only mention of toes being numbered in the Bible is found in (2 Samuel 21:20 &1 Chronicles 20:6), and this happens to be a giant.
Then the idea that the two legs represents the divided Roman Kingdom with its East and West differences, but having the five toes on the western leg represent ten regions, but none on the eastern leg is another anomaly that doesn't fit with the prophecy. One would think that there would be five regions on each leg if such an interpretation were correct, not ten represented by five toes on the one leg.
Another aspect of this prophecy that is overlooked is that all the kingdoms represented by the statue are like chaff on a threshing floor and are blown away, not to be found again. None of these kingdoms are to be represented at the end time. On the other hand, the stone that is made without hands that smashes the statue continues unto the end.
The number of man is recognized as 6 in the Bible. Could a giant with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each leg be representative of man? Just a thought. However, as it happens, there are six kingdoms of Earth represented by this statue, not four as claimed by most people. The seventh kingdom is the Kingdom of God. You know this makes sense, since number 7, in the Bible, is representative of the seven-fold Spirits of God (Revelation 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; 5:6).

The Four Beasts
The prophecy of the four beasts is generally interpreted as a reiteration of the misinterpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream that has Babylon, Persia, Greece/Macedonia and Rome represented by the different metals.
Babylon is said to be represented by the lion and Persia by the bear. Greece/Macedonia is said to be the leopard and its four wings and heads were to represent Alexander The Great's four generals, except he actually had five (Antigonus, Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy, Seleucus) that fought over his kingdom, and only three of generals created dynasties.
Cassander died without an heir. Lysimachus was killed by Seleucus. Antigonus was limited to ruling Macedonia, Greece and its islands, before he died. Ptolemy ruled Egypt, Seleucus ruled Syria, with both of these dynasties, at different times, having rule over Judea.
Antigonus' Kingdom
Ptolemy's Kingdom
As is evident the Ptolemic and Seleucid dynasties were greater than the Antigonid dynasty of the three kingdoms after carving up the Macedonian expansion of Alexander the Great.
The fourth beast is not the Roman Empire resurrected but the cojoining of what is represented by the other three beasts which were prophesied to remain until the time of the end. Babylon, Persia, Macedonia have ceased to exist, so they could not possibly be represented by the three beasts.
The Four Beasts
The Six Kingdoms
The accuracy of Daniel’s prophecy is such that skeptics cannot believe the writer did not name Antiochus IV Epiphanies. For they believe this was clearly written after the fact.
However, what these skeptics do not realize, this prophecy also points to the four empires that are to follow the Greek Empire,, which follows the Persian/Median Empire, and identifies what can be expected at the end of the age that we are living in now. This is because the Bible often has more than one application. After all, the written word of God is very much a historical record, as well as a being a prophetic message with a devotional application.
The Islamic Caliphate is something that is overlooked. Yet this is something that is growing around the world. Not so much through making converts, although this happens, usually by force, but more by breeding. Muslim women often have around 8-10 children. Europeans and those in wealthier countries have an average of 1 child. Even if an insignificant number have 4-5 children, the number of women who are remaining childless are becoming more significant in number.
What may not seem so evident in the above map of the globe is the extent Muslims are penetrating the countries where the coloring is fawn. Islamic penetration will be much greater given another 20-30 years and the numbers of Muslims in these countries that will have natural citizenry will see these colored green in the above schemata. At current birth rates, Muslims should quadruple in number by 2050. This is, of course, if the world system survives that long.
With what is happening in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, Zionist occupation of what is deemed Greater Israel, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, could well bring matters to a sudden end, quicker than we think.
