This thread is branching off from my Prophecy thread in Comparative Religion. http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22654
As you can see, I believe Daniel 2:39-44 has already been fulfilled. Babylon was the kingdom of gold, which fell to the Persians, the kingdom of silver, which fell to the Greeks, the kingdom of bronze, which fell to the Roman Republic, the kingdom of iron, which became the Roman Empire, the kingdom of iron mixed with clay, which was finally consumed by the Church, the indestructable kingdom of God. On the other hand, Faith_is_an_assurance believes that with the capture of Iraq, we are only beginning to see this prophecy fulfilled. I assume he believes we are going to capture Persia, Greece, Rome, then Christ will come in his kingdom. The problem I have with this is that Christ promised the kingdom would come during the generation of the apostles.
Matt 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
