The right interpretation of the dream that King Nebuchadnezzar asked Daniel to interpret (2:40-43) is contingent upon understanding that his dream was about himself personally, and by extension, about Babylon, it’s territory, and what will become of it. Each of the four empires that will follow him were represented in sections of the statue. The empires that will succeed him, absolutely must conquer the main territories the Babylonian Empire.
God’s main purpose of giving the dream to King Nebuchadnezzar was to humble him by putting his position as a temporal king into perspective, in order to get him to rightly glorify God Almighty who gives dominions on Earth to whomever He pleases.
In the statue, King Nebuchadnezzar was told ‘he’ was the head of gold, but the next four temporal kingdoms, represented by the silver chest, bronze hips and iron legs and feet weren’t named.
After the 4 metal kingdoms, then comes the final Kingdom, which grows up out of a rock that was cut out of a mountain, although not by human hands. The rock smashes the feet of the statue causing it to topple, break into dust and blow away. The final kingdom is the beginning of the Eternal Kingdom of God.
The Feet Kingdom . . .
. . . is the kingdom that gets hit by the rock cut out from a mountain. The feet kingdom will have iron strength like the legs kingdom did, although it will be short lived. It’s a continuation of the legs kingdom, but with something different that makes it brittle and divided.
Rome isn’t one of the kingdoms in King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream statue.Romenever conquered the vast majority of the territory of Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylonian Empire. Rome only conquered the sliver of the Levant plus smallish contiguous areas directly to the north and to the south of it.

Scholars have Created a Myth
Beware: So many Bible expositors throughout the long history of the Western vantage point, have colored in maps with Rome, where it never was. It was done in accordance with their lack of historical knowledge and their overconfidence in certain Biblical interpretations. The false maps, until recently, out numbed the true maps online.
Regarding Rome’s borders, there was a small, brief exception, that of Emperor Trajan’s conquest in 117 AD. His troops took the Mesopotamian Babylon area via flotilla, on the way down the river to the Persian Gulf, but they turned around and lost it on the way back and Trajan died that same year. See:

Islam conquered the entire Babylonian Empire territory. Many pieces of the prophetic puzzle suddenly fit together!
A little history on what was intervening from bronze (Greek) to the iron empires:
After the Seleucid Greek power structure declined in the area that made up the bulk of the former Babylonian Empire, Greek culture continued there for a very, long time.
The Babylonians remained conquered by Greek culture!
Even much later, when a very diminished Persia (kingdom but no longer an empire) regained power over the declining city Babylon and surrounding areas, the culture still continued to be Greek until the ‘Islamic State’ took over; Then the IS crushed everything except Islam. The Islamic State conquered the core territory of the ancient Babylonian Kingdom, although the City Babylon itself had already been reduced to ruins.
16.4 Glory of God
The fourth empire, symbolized by the legs of iron, is the fourth world power that will rule the part of the earth that was controlled by Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon. In the Daniel 7 vision of the four beasts, Rome is left out there as well.
“It will be different from all the others. It will devour the whole world, trampling and crushing everything in its path.” That was a description of the final kingdom from Daniel 7:23.
The Feet Kingdom is Not at all Like Rome.
This is an artist’s rendition of the fourth kingdom: Dan. 7:23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on Earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.”
16.5 Glory of God
Compare that to Rome
Rome allowed Greek culture to thrive and even adapted its culture, myths and eventually even its language, especially in the East where the Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire after the Western side fell. The Eastern Roman Empire continued to speak Greek for about 850 years until it was conquered by the Turks in AD 1453. Not only that, but Byzantium, which was actually an ancient Greek colony, became Christian under Rome. So Rome mainly became Greek and Christian culture. Even the Roman Catholic Church was absorbent not destructive. The very word ‘catholic’ means universal or ‘all inclusive,’ which is the kind of false ideology that Mystery Babylon will be built upon.
Why do these details matter?
They matter because the prophesy of the sudden, catastrophic, permanent destruction of Babylon HAS NOT YET BEEN FULFILLED.
The End Time Babylon is called Babylon because it’s spirit goes back to the Tower of Babel
The word ‘Babylon’ came to be the descriptive term God used to describe the idolatry centered economic systems/cities of the great pagan empires of the world, those centered around Jerusalem, the place where God has put His Holy Name. Each of the seven heads of the Beast in St. John’s Revelation vision had its own permutation of the Babylon religion/economic system. The eighth head will have the ultimate Babylon riding it, Mystery Babylon. See:
Babylon the Great was shown figuratively, as a woman riding the seven headed beast and that part of St. John’s vision was from the vantage point of the time when the Beast was being led by its seventh head, which I believe was the Islamic Caliphate, centered in Turkey. At that time, beast still had its other heads attached, probably behind the 7th head. Then St. John saw that the seventh head was mortally wounded, and the beast was no more. . . for awhile. (Rev. 17:11)
According to the wording of the angel, the whole beast “was not“.
But the angel explained next, that the world will be amazed when the 7th head returns and that it will be called the eighth head. (Now we’re looking at the final Islamic Caliphate.) St. John was told that the eighth head of the beast will become the entire beast.
I think St. John’s vantage points in time should be explained like this:
St. John was transported in the spirit, first to the time of the 7the head, then to the interval between the beheading of the 7th head and its revived head. From that interval, he had a vantage point from which he could look back and see the seventh head and it’s fatal wound, but he could also look forward and see it’s revival, all while remaining in the interim when the Beast ‘was not’.
You and I have lived our entire lives in that interim, the approximately 100+ year gap from the end of the Ottoman Empire until the present. That is the only time in history when there has not been a powerful empire directly surrounding Jerusalem.
16.7 Glory of God
God Almighty will allow the ultimate Beast to receive its 8th head and nearly to reach its evil agenda, which is to take God’s throne. God only allows that in order to fully convict His enemies, and so that He, God Almighty, may uproot it utterly; Jesus will accomplish it. It was the spirit of Babylon driving all the heads but God Almighty will not destroy Babylon the Great until just before He destroys the final permutation of the Beast.
Why is the Woman who Rides the Beast called Babylon?
She’s called Babylon because, soon after the Noah’s flood, satanically empowered King Nimrod, who was probably at least part Nephilim, built an empire. All humanity united to follow him in complete rebellion to God. They were building the Tower of Babel, which is a study in itself. This link just has a tiny bit:
To put an end to it, God confused the languages of the people forcing them into separate nations, and assigning different ‘elohim’ (spiritual beings) to rule over them, spiritual principalities one for each nation.
16.8 Glory of God
“When the Most High apportioned the nations, when he divided humankind, He fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the gods (elohim); the LORD’s own portion was his people, Jacob his allotted share.”
Deut. 32:8-9
The final Beast will have its most developed and horrific version of its Babylon spirit; It was given a special name by God: Babylon the Great Mother of all Whores and of the Abominations of the Earth. God will allow that abominable rebellious city/economic/religious system to fulminate, for awhile, while driving the eight head, which is the ‘feet kingdom’ of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream statue, the ultimate beast.
16.9 Glory of God
Out of 22 chapters in the Book of Revelation, two are devoted to Gods destruction of this city. It matters because it’s extremely important to God.
It will happen during the seven year countdown to the full manifestation of God’s Everlasting Kingdom, which will be with Jesus Christ’s official second coming to Earth, when He’ll defeat the Antichrist, and the false prophet, throw them into the eternal lake of burning fire, and destroy the abomination of desolation.
Besides the Antichrist, the other worst enemy of God described in St. John’s Book of Revelation is . . .
Babylon The Great, Mother of all Whores and of The Abominations of the Earth.
She’s two things: a very powerful economic city (or conglomerate of cites) necessarily with tendrils reaching around the whole Earth physically and virtually, and a satanically inspired man made, false, unholy, religious/spiritual belief system, often referred to as ‘Mystery Babylon.’ Revelation describes her as a mystery. Why is it so difficult to figure out who she is and is becoming? Maybe because she’s been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years; But she’s fulminating in these last hours. . .
Many people interpret a certain Bible verse in such a way that makes them believe that the Antichrist will have a corrupted right eye. The 666 hand symbol covering the right eye is a signs of loyalty to the Antichrist who will be possessed by satan.
Therefore, these plagues will overtake her in a single day – death and mourning and famine. She will be completely consumed by fire, for the Lord God who judges her is mighty. (Rev. 18:8)
God Almighty won’t completely destroy Babylon the Great until the Day of the Lord/Time of Jacob’s Trouble peaks during the second half of the final 7 years of this age. We’re already in the first half, which began immediately after the conclusion of the Great American Eclipses.
Therefore, Los Angeles itself can’t be Babylon the Great, although she’s of the same spirit. Nevertheless, these fires should be recognized as a great foreshadowing; Believers, especially American believers, should pay very close attention.
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. With a mighty voice he shouted: “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries. Rev. 18:1-4
22.2 Glory God Beyond
“Then I heard another voice from heaven say: ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.” Rev. 18:5-6
Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. Rev. 18:7-8
Revelation 18:23 “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorcerieswere all nations deceived.”

The Book of Revelation seems to be saying it, will be in a wilderness and on a major shipping route. The word translated as ‘wilderness’ primarily meant ‘dessert’ in the Old Testament.
Until the California fires, I hadn’t considered LA/ Central California, but it certainly is one big diffuse Babylonian style ‘city’ in a dessert, with great access to shipping. L.A. isn’t even close to being the largest port for manufactured goods, but they might have the largest human trafficking industry.
LA is primarily a seed that broadcasts its product: seduction by deception and moral decay, throughout the whole world. It’s dependent upon digital media these day; So, Silicon Valley’s proximity has been significant. Secret product is traded via the deep web.

Babylon the Great represents the uttermost monstrous, satanic, whoredom against the true God who created everything. God Almighty has been allowing its spirit to rise, only so that when it falls, it’s fall will be complete never to rise again. Idol worship has been heading toward its ultimate lowness. In this generation, right now, it’s often in the form of self worship or worship of someone who’s tied into ones own ego, which is self worship by proxy. But, it can also incorporate paying homage to many lifeless images, symbols and the demonic myths that go with them, not only ancient ones, but any additional delusions people wish for. Such people are opening doors to unclean spirits whether they realize it or not. Babylon the Great is, day by day, mounting up its seductions, influence and control.

They started building the Tower of Babel, which may have, among other things, been an attempt to reach above the clouds in order to present sexual temptations to fallen angels, like the ones who corrupted the seed of humanity before the flood.
God Almighty, who knew exactly what this cumulative rebellion would lead to in the last days, frustrated humanity’s plans for thousands of years by confusing their languages, which forced them to separate into diverse nations. Yet, each group took the ungodly spirit of Babylon with them. They based their subsequent beliefs upon them, in every culture and city they built, throughout all generations.
Humanity wished for the forbidden knowledge that the fallen angels had given them before the flood.
The fallen angels gave it to them in orderto destroy mankind.Right now, we’re in the final 7 years of God’s 6,000 year allotment for mankind to live in rebellion against Him. Although God’s been keeping it on a leash, God said He’ll let it go (perhaps in phases) allowing mankind’s rebellion to utterly fulminate in the last 3.5 years.
How I envision it is: Jesus Christ has already begun removing the restrainer in steps via breaking the seals of the scroll.
I believe our Lord and Bridegroom will gather His bride at the perfect moment, within the seal breaking process. Therefore the seven blazing torches or lamp stands in God’s throne room must be the barometer representing the condition of the saints on Earth. Rev. 4:5 shows us that there must be some ready saints, who are of the bride of Christ, in each of the 7 church types. That must be so in order for all 7 of the lamp stands to be lit; Those are the ones who not only have the Holy Spirit represented by the oil, but they’ve ignited their oil, so they’re ‘lit,’ meaning they’ve listened to, or read, The WORD of God, and are actively shining it forth. They’re the light of the world!
Something Biblical is Happening in China and No One Can Explain It
It’s speculation, but I see that when the Lamb of God breaks the fourth seal, is when He sets out toward Earth to gather His bride; He may bring an ark with which to transport His bride, in which case there could be some traveling time. If so, the effects of the events of the first three seals, that Jesus Christ had previously broken, will accumulate, leading to the death of 1/4 of humanity sometime after He breaks the fourth seal; That’s the hour of trial that will come upon the whole Earth, to test the people of the earth. And, just before the tipping point of that time, He’ll arrive to gather His bride.
After that, it seems as if there’s something that must be removed . . .

The truth is: Parents who don’t want their children to inherit God’s eternal wrath, and therefore tell them the hard truths, are the ones who really love their children.
Believers who speak the truth to homosexuals, and other lost souls, who’ve given themselves over to deranged sexual indulgences, are warning them, an act of love.

People are making up ‘false morals’ in order to feel ‘self righteous’ while practicing blatant sorcery, doctrines of demons, hatred of the truth, the true God and the one who paid our sin dept, who is Jesus Christ. They worship a false Jesus,’ exploiting His Holy Name, all manner of puffed up pride, murderous thoughts and actions, especially against those who speak the truth, unrestrained abortions, abortions with satanic rituals (a service provided for those who believe that satan will reward them for making the termination of life as an offering to him) prostitution both spiritually and carnally, sacrifices of live infants – as in the days of Moloch – burning babies and young children alive in fire as offerings to to idols.

Since social sexual restraints are being removed, even as to the sexualizing of children and adolescents, to feed the appetites of predators, trafficking in human lives has become a huge industry. Another missing child, adolescent or young adult, and another one and another one – way too many to keep track of. There’s evidence that they’re breeding people, literally underground, to feed the addicts, who always require greater perversion and cruelty, just to temporally satisfy their appetites. Their unrestrained wicked imaginations desire to see how far they can take their perversions – torture and disposal of the victims. Every evil possible, including sexually manipulating fetuses, experimenting on them in utero and even conceivably corrupting their DNA to the point of making them no longer human, but monsters, and zombies combined manipulated by soulless machinery. This is in line with the main goal of the fallen angels, which was to corrupt human DNA in order to prevent the Genesis 3:15 protoevangelium from coming true.
It’s a very good thing that we have a God of justice.

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Jesus Christ said He’d not return until the Jews say to Him “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.” Satan’s main goal seems to be to prevent Jesus Christ from returning. Satan and his minions think that if can they get all of humanity, especially the Jews, to become transhumans or to be infected with nonhuman DNA or both, then Jesus won’t return. There’s evidence that the Mark of the Beast will possibly contain some DNA equivalent from or designed by the fallen angels. That’s probably why they’re posing as extraterrestrials, to do experiments and getting it ready. But, the Mark of the Beast could also start out as simple bar or QR code, so be wary of everything. Even tattoo ink can transport DNA into the cells. There are ways to corrupt peoples DNA by making it voluntary, seducing people with all kinds of false promises even of eternal live without Jesus. It’s already happening so don’t waddle after the masses.

Once the line is crossed and a person is no longer human he/she can no longer be saved. Jesus Christ only paid the price with His human blood, to cover the sins of humans.
In St. John’s vision the Woman Sitting on the Beast Represents the Obscene City.
She passionately loves and promotes the Beast. The Beast appears scarlet in the vision when she rides him, when he is supporting her. I think The Beast/Antichrist Empire must first go through a sort of Islamic State/Caliphate phase, but then either the Caliph will morph into the Mahdi or more likely, the Mahdi will come from somewhere else since he’s the Gog of Magog, a Caucasian.
The Antichrist Was Just Revealed to the World (But Everyone Missed It)
And then Gog/Mahdi/Antichrist/False-Jewish-Messiah will sit in the temple of God’s Holy of Holies and declare himself to be God. He’ll certainly change/compromise the rules of the Caliphate at that point, so it can expand faster and take over the rest of the world.
Not long after that, the Beast will turn against Babylon the Great, but it will be God Almighty making it happen. The one true Almighty God, who created everything, will cause ten kings, possibly hybrid creatures, as per Dan. 2:42-44, to align themselves with the Beast against the abominable Mystery Babylon. So, God Almighty will use the Beast to destroy her. God’s purpose is righteous and Holy. (These are not the same 10 kings, of which 3 will be subdued, that will be on the head of the Beast when the little horn first arises.) The Beast is also shown in St. John’s vision as having blasphemous words written on all its heads – lies slandering God.
