Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

After revealing the dream, Daniel told him its meaning in Daniel 2:37-45:

Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

God revealed to Daniel, through Nebuchadnezzar's dream, there would be five empires that would rule the earth from his kingdom forward in time. These are represented by the different parts of the image Nebuchadnezzar saw as follows:

1. The head of gold - The Babylonian Empire of Nebuchadnezzar.
2. The breast and arms of silver - Medo-Persian Empire.
3. The belly and thighs of bronze - Greek Empire.
4. The legs of iron - Roman Empire. This is the kingdom Daniel said would be divided into two parts. The first Roman Empire is represented by the legs of iron. The second part of this kingdom, the revived Roman Empire, is represented by the feet and toes made part of iron and part of clay.
5. The stone which destroyed all the other kingdoms - the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ.

As we can now clearly see, the kingdom of Christ will come when the revived Roman Empire is present in the world. Is that Empire alive today? Yes! It's the European Union.

One of the most dramatic prophetic descriptions concerning the end times is found in the book of Revelation - one of a woman riding a beast.

Revelation 17:3: So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Eerily similar to Revelation 17:3, the symbol most often associated with the European Union is a woman riding a beast, as seen in the photos below! Coincidence? I doubt it.

Most Bible scholars believe the woman/harlot of Revelation 17:3 is symbolic of the false religion the Antichrist and his False Prophet will impose on mankind during the Antichrist's reign over the revived Roman empire during the Tribulation Period. If so, the imagery on this page may be indicative of how close we are to these things coming to pass, in fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Examine this photo closely:

Do you remember the story of the tower of Babel? God destroyed it when mankind tried to build a tower to Heaven. God scattered the people and gave them different tongues so they couldn't re-organize and begin the project anew. Today's European Union, thumbing its nose at God, is proclaiming they consist of many tongues yet speak with one voice, inverting God's judgment on Babylon. As you can see, Babylon The Great is coming as prophesized!

Even the European Union's architecture invokes memories of the tower of Babel as seen in the photo below.

What does all this tell us? It tells us what I've been saying all along is true: Jesus Christ is coming soon!

Soon, the future world leader known as the Antichrist will arise from the European Union to confirm a covenant of peace between Israel and her enemies that will be seven years in duration. For those of you who don't know, the seven-year peace plan will run concurrently with the seven-year Tribulation Period - the seventieth week of the seventy weeks of Daniel, as seen in Daniel 9:24.

Sixty-nine prophetic weeks have passed (483 years) as seen in Daniel 9:26. Only one prophetic week remains - the final seven-year biblical week - the Tribulation Period.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Only those who have accepted Jesus Christ will be gathered to His side at the Rapture of the Church, avoiding the seven-year Tribulation Period to come. Those who are left behind, as a direct result of their failure to come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, are going to experience a time unlike any mankind has ever witnessed before - a time when the Antichrist will rule the world through the revived Roman empire - today's European Union (or a direct descendant of it).
