Which ancient empires from Daniel 2 still have residues in today's world?
Scripture’s Daniel 2 image identifies the Babylonian, Mede-Persian, Greek, and Roman empires, along with a revived Roman, as having residues that remain with us in the world today. Those remnants continue to be present until the second coming of Christ.
Les explains that in Daniel chapter 2, as he sees all the various empires in the image Nebuchadnezzar dreams of, the whole sequence is consummated with the second coming of Christ. He says all the remnants of those previous empires in Daniel 2—the Babylonian, the Mede Persian, the Greek, and the Roman, as well as the revived Roman—will all have residues of those previous empires with us today. He also notes that Babylon was the source of our whole banking system, and the Jews’ business acumen was learned during the 70 years in Babylon.
