What do the ten toes of iron mixed with clay in Daniel 2 represent?
The ten toes of iron mixed with clay represent the Revived Roman Empire, pictured as the Ten Nations of Western Europe and the European Community. Although the number may rise, by the Antichrist’s appearance it will return to ten, forming the final Gentile empire Christ will crush at His coming.
Les teaches that the ten toes of iron mixed with clay point to the Revived Roman Empire at the end time. He identifies this with the European Community, the Ten Nations of Western Europe, though today the Ten have grown to 12 and may grow further. He guarantees that by the time the Antichrist comes and the European Community becomes in totality the Revived Roman Empire, it will drop back to ten. At Christ’s coming, He will strike this last empire like a stone cut out without hand, a great boulder rolling down on the feet of iron and clay, crushing all vestiges of the previous empires—Rome, Greece, the Median Persians, and Babylon.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
