In the Book of Daniel, King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream about a collosal image with a head of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of bronze, legs of iron and feet of both iron and clay. When Daniel interprets the dream, each part of the colossus represents a world kingdom; gold = Babylon, silver = Medo-Persia, bronze = Greece, iron = Rome. The feet of iron and clay depict a kingdom yet future from our perspective, made up of a mixture of iron (the old Roman Empire) and clay. Daniel comments that "they will not adhere to one another."
Here is a thought for you to ponder, especially in light of President Obama's visit to the Middle East and Europe. Could it be that the mixture of iron and clay represents a coalition between the revived Roman Empire (now Europe, and the EU) and Islam? The way things are going, it certainly seems possible. President Obama's combined trip is symbolic of that possibility; and the changing demographics of Europe point towards such a probability.
And what could it be that would cause these two dissimilar elements to be joined together? Could it be a common goal of forcing Israel into an exchange of land for peace deal? What interesting times we live in. As the prophetic scene unfolds, take courage in the fact that God is in charge and that all man who choose can access His grace to obtain strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
