What do the ten toes in Nebuchadnezzar's vision represent?
The ten toes symbolize ten nations or kingdoms that constitute the revived Roman Empire. They are the ten kingdoms from which the Antichrist, the little horn, will arise. Three of the smaller nations will lose their identity, leaving seven from which he emerges.
Les explains that the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar's vision represent the ten nations that make up the revived Roman Empire. He connects them to the European Community, noting its currency (ECU) and constitution are already prepared. In his projection, when these ten nations feel they have their act together, turmoil will make the time ripe for a strong man, the Antichrist, to appear. Out of these ten nations, the little horn arises, and three of the first are plucked up by the roots; Les takes this to mean three smaller nations will lose their identity, absorbed by the other seven, and from the remaining seven comes the Antichrist.
