Publisher's Synopsis
All the kingdoms foretold of in Daniel's dream, The Babylonian Empire, Medo-Persian Empire, the Grecian Empire and the Roman Empire, have come and gone except Rome in the last days Kingdom of Iron and Clay; the end time kingdom that is in now reigning before the coming of Christ's final rule . It is the Kingdom of partly iron and partly fired clay. The iron represents Rome and the fired clay a mix of nations and people that will not stick. The Roman Empire is the beast that tramples and crushes all the kingdoms before them. "And as you saw the iron mixed with miry and earthen clay, so they shall mingle themselves in the seed of men [in marriage bonds]; but they will not hold together [for two such elements or ideologies can never harmonize], even as iron does not mingle itself with clay." The only kingdom that divided the nations and trampled the peoples under foot is Rome. The Renaissance, Age of Reason and European Exploration bred the attitude of superiority and imperialism that continued with the foundation of racism that the Founding Fathers allowed undergirding this country. Racism is a hallmark of the Iron and Clay kingdom. Jesus' final kingdom will not be divided by race, gender, or socioeconomic wealth. In fact, the Body of Christ is to be a unified Body, with all the members held together by the Head which is Christ Jesus. This iron and clay, or Rome and Ham and Shem's descendents today or racially and ideologically divided. This has influenced the way we do Christianity in this Western Civilization but this must be rectified in these last days. Christ declares His church is not divided. King Solomon declared that "history merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new. Again, does President Obama's election represent a signal to the world that time is up? Yet, it could be that the real significance of President Obama's election is a signal to the world that the reign of mankind is coming to an end. Again, the cycle began with Nimrod, the first black world leader and it may very well end with President Obama, the last leader of the most powerful nation in the world. Either way a new cycle has begun, signaling these are the end of days for the reign of man. Jesus is about to return, the stone that no hand touched destroying and completely obliterating all of these kingdoms. The only thing that Jesus left on earth was His Church, the Body of Christ, and He clearly told us that by his death and resurrection he had torn down the middle wall of division between Jew and Gentile. He further added that He is no respecter of persons and shows no partiality or bias regardless of race, gender or class. Man has re-built the walls and the Spirit of the Lord is calling us to tear them down again. Jesus is coming for a Bride without spot or wrinkle, and today's church has all of them.
