DANIEL 2 - IRON AND CLAY


"Brexit Makes EU Disintegration Irreversible"

Could this be the realization of the image interpretation in Daniel 2: 41,42, 43 ?

41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

NOT EXACTLY.  As Filipe Reis has pointed out in his article of June 24, the feet of iron and clay, which would persist until Jesus returns (Daniel 2:34,35, 45). While iron and clay do not unite, it is also true that they are together, side by side.

This means that although there are differences between them that can cause separation, still they will somehow gather side by side in a single goal.

Therefore, iron and clay do not unite - the nations of Europe will not unite; but iron and clay are together, side by side on the feet of the statue - so the nations of Europe will be united in many organizations and purposes. 

The feet of the statue is crumbled or destroyed only when struck by a stone thrown by no human hand (Dan. 2: 34, 35).  This indicates that the nations of Europe will remain side by side but not connected, not fully together until Jesus returns.
