The Fourth Empire of Daniel 2 Re-examined - 02/07/16 05:42 PM
A couple days ago I ran across this interview on YouTube of Jonathon Cahn by Jimmy Bakker. For those with a limited amount of time, this is only a 15 minute clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZOoEo-iWHM
Cahn assumes that most Christians accept the fact that Rome is the fourth empire of Daniel 2 and that the physical empire will be revived and become again an empire of despotic oppression just before the return of Christ. He makes the case that this is already happening physically – the nations of Eastern and Western Europe and the US are the legacy of Rome, the modern manifestation of it and that the two legs are the two branches, the political states of the west and the spiritual state of the Papacy. He doesn't see the link yet between the US and the lamb-like beast, but I have to say that our non-Adventist brothers and sisters are surpassing Adventists in their insights into prophecy. Cahn's observation that the two legs of iron represent the combined powers of church and state in the final manifestation of Rome is a valid and timely insight.
