We therefore begin this study by going all the way back to the time of the Roman Emperor Trajan.  We discuss Charlamagne, Otto the Great, Charles V, William I, Richard the Lion Hearted, and even the foundation of the United States of America.  We look at the prophetic significance of some of the major players of our days, USA, United Kingdom,  Russia, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Prussia, Hungary, Greece, Austria, Spain, and England. 

We consider the impact that Roman Catholicism has had upon Europe and how all of this relates to biblical prophecy.  Finally, we arrive at France and the great historic event known as the French Revolution, the New Order, and the Bloody Reign of Terror. 

All this leads us into our next study as we more closely examine the prophetic significance of the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar's image.
