Bible prophesy is occurring before our very eyes. The French rejection of the EU constitution on May 29 is an example of the hurdles that Europe faces in the effort to unite the continent. It is like mixing iron and clay.
Daniel 2 contains a prophecy of four major world-ruling kingdoms that would exist since the reign of Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon. This prophecy is described through a visual aid--a great image of a statue with head of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and waist of brass and two legs of iron.
Notice how this clay will affect the final rise of the Roman Empire--which we see rising in Europe today currently under the name of European Union. And whereas thou saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it the strength of iron, just as thou saw the iron mixed with clay.
This final rise of the Roman Empire will have the strength of the first Roman Empire, but as mixing iron and clay it shall be partly strong, and partly weak. Pope Benedict will emerge to use the common Catholic history of Europe to create a unified block of 10 nations. However, this final resurrection of the Roman Empire, though strong as iron, will be short-lived because of its different nationalities tending to squabble with one another.
But before its destruction by the vast armies of the east, a united iron-strong Europe will wreak havoc and utter destruction upon this world. For a short time, these nations of iron and clay will unite under one strong political and religious leader and in the name of Catholicism.
