| In our study we
have shown how the fourth prophetic kingdom referred to in the Book of Daniel
in Nebuchadnezzar's image was Rome. We have also demonstrated how
the Moslem Empire followed after Rome becoming a fifth prophetic kingdom.
The Book of
Revelation actually speaks of eight prophetic kingdoms in all. John was
told that Rome was the sixth kingdom as regards his vision. By
incorporating the prophecies within the Book of Daniel into that supplied by
the Book of Revelation, we are able to identify the seven heads of John's beast
and therefore the seven different kingdoms referred to.
The seven heads
apparently correspond to the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Rome,
Macedonia, Thrace, Syria, and Egypt. We learn that the legs
of iron on Nebuchadnezzar's image represented the Roman Empire and the clay in
the feet of the image represented the Moslem Empire.
John's seventh
kingdom must follow Rome and so we can easily conclude that the seventh
prophetic kingdom of John's vision is the Moslem
Empire. There is yet an eighth kingdom spoken of by
John. Do you know who that is?
