What is the European Community in Daniel 2 prophecy?
In Daniel 2 prophecy, the European Community is the same geographical and political area as Western Europe, viewed as the revived Roman Empire. It began with ten nations, fluctuates, and will end with ten nations, pictured as the ten toes—ten nations. It is an enlarged democracy, therefore weak and inferior.
Les teaches that in our own day the same geographical and political area, Western Europe, has risen as the European Community. It started out with ten nations, has been fluctuating, and will end up again with ten nations. He identifies it as the revived Roman Empire, symbolized by the ten toes—ten nations. As Western Europe today, it is an enlarged democracy, and democracies are weak; if people dislike the government, they fill the streets and demonstrate, and down it goes. It has no real strength and is consequently inferior.
