Yes — Les Feldick teaches that the revived Roman Empire is the European Community of Western Europe, now taking shape in our day.
Les identifies ancient Rome as the fourth beast of Daniel 7 and sees its revival as a 'deadly wound healed' in Revelation 13. He points to the European Community—Western Europe's ten nations—as the modern revival of that empire, noting that its membership is fluctuating but will eventually return to ten. He also cites a secular writer who observed that these nations have all been in an empire together before, the Roman Empire. Scripture itself doesn't name Europe, but Les says the geographical and political outline of Western Europe matches Daniel's ten toes of iron and clay.
Daniel 7:7 — The fourth beast with iron teeth and ten horns is the passage Les uses as the basis for identifying the revived Roman Empire with ten Western European nations.
Daniel 2:34 — The stone cut without hands strikes the feet of iron and clay, which Les identifies as the revived Roman Empire at Christ's coming.
Revelation 13:3 — The healed deadly wound is the basis for Les's teaching that the Roman Empire collapsed and is now reappearing.
Daniel 7 describes a fourth beast that is 'dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly,' with great iron teeth and ten horns. Daniel 2 describes the final form of the Gentile image as feet and toes of iron mixed with clay, and a stone cut out without hands that strikes the image and breaks it to pieces. Revelation 13 then says, 'And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.' Scripture does not name Europe, the European Community, or any modern nation, but it does describe an empire that was wounded to death, was healed, and reappears with ten horns or ten toes. It will exist until Christ comes and destroys it.
Les Feldick teaches that the revived Roman Empire is Western Europe's European Community. He connects Daniel 2's ten toes of iron and clay and Daniel 7's ten horns to the ten nations of Western Europe that make up this revived empire. The original Roman Empire, he says, fell in on itself, collapsed, and faded off the scene, but Revelation 13 pictures that deadly wound being healed. In Les's teaching, that healing is now visible as the European Community rises again in our own day. The membership has grown past ten and may continue to change, but Les says it will certainly drop back to ten before the Antichrist takes control.
The Bible describes a fourth beast that is dreadful, terrible, and strong, with great iron teeth and ten horns. This is the same empire that later appears in Daniel 2 as the feet of iron and clay and in Revelation 13 as a beast whose deadly wound is healed. Scripture itself does not connect this prophecy to any modern nation or continent, but it clearly describes an empire that returns to power with a ten-fold final form.
Les says the current rise of Western Europe is the rise of 'that same geographical and political area' as the old Roman Empire. He calls the European Community the revived Roman Empire and identifies its ten nations with the ten toes of Daniel 2 and the ten horns of Daniel 7. He notes that it started out with ten nations, has been fluctuating, and will end up with ten again.
Les teaches that the deadly wound in Revelation 13 is not primarily a man being shot and brought back to life. Instead, he says the Roman Empire itself was the one that suffered the deadly wound. It died, collapsed, and faded off the scene, and Revelation 13 shows it coming up again. This revival is what Les sees in Western Europe's return to prominence.
Les cites a secular article from Insight magazine about the European community. The writer described Western Europe's hatreds, problems, and potential, and ended by saying that all these nations had been in an empire together once before—the Roman Empire. Les uses this as confirmation that even secular observers can see the outline of the old Roman Empire in modern Europe, exactly as Scripture said.
Les says the revived Roman Empire is 'pretty much in place' in our day and time. Christ will strike it at His coming like a stone cut out without hands, crushing the feet of iron and clay. As the stone rolls up through the image, it also destroys every vestige of the earlier Babylonian, Medo-Persian, and Greek empires that are still present in modern systems and culture.
Roman Empire Already Back on the Scene
Les explains why Revelation 13 starts with the Greek leopard rather than the Roman beast: John writes from the time when the Roman Empire is already back on the scene, and the revived empire retains the residue of Babylon, Persia, and Greece.
The Deadly Wound Is the Roman Empire
Les teaches that the healed deadly wound in Revelation 13 refers to the Roman Empire itself, which died, collapsed, and faded off the scene, and is now coming up again as a revived Roman Empire in Western Europe.
Duplicate Teaching: Deadly Wound Is the Roman Empire
This clip repeats the same teaching: the deadly wound is the Roman Empire's collapse, and its healing is the empire's reappearance.
Ten Toes and the Ten Nations of Western Europe
Les identifies the revived Roman Empire as the European Community's ten nations, saying membership has risen above ten but will drop back to ten when the Antichrist comes.
Secular Confirmation: A United States of Europe
Les quotes a secular Insight magazine writer who concluded that Western Europe's nations, despite their hatreds, had all been in the Roman Empire before, making a United States of Europe plausible.
Weak Democracies of Western Europe
Les says Western Europe's enlarged democracy is weak because demonstrators can bring down a government, matching the 'iron mixed with clay' weakness of Daniel's final empire.
Duplicate Teaching: Weak European Democracies
This clip repeats Les's teaching that Western Europe is currently a weak democracy and will still be the setting of the revived Roman Empire.
The Stone That Crushes the Revived Empire
Les says the revived Roman Empire is basically in place today, and Christ's coming will crush it like a stone cut without hands, destroying the remnants of all four ancient empires.
Daniel 7:7: After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
This fourth beast is the empire whose ten horns Les connects to the ten nations of Western Europe in the revived Roman Empire.
Daniel 2:34: Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Les says this stone striking the feet of iron and clay is Christ destroying the revived Roman Empire at His coming.
Daniel 2:43: And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
The iron and clay mixture describes the final form of the fourth empire, which Les associates with the weak but reunited democracies of Western Europe.
Revelation 13:3: And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Les teaches that this healed deadly wound is the Roman Empire's collapse and its reappearance in modern Western Europe.
Les Feldick teaches that the revived Roman Empire is the European Community, which he connects to the ten nations of Western Europe. He emphasizes that its membership has gone beyond ten but will eventually return to ten nations when the Antichrist takes over.
Daniel 7 describes a fourth beast with iron teeth and ten horns but does not name Europe. Les Feldick applies that prophecy to Western Europe's European Community, seeing the same geographical and political area as ancient Rome rising again.
Les says it will be destroyed when Christ returns, pictured in Daniel 2 as a stone cut without hands striking the feet of iron and clay. He also says the revived Roman Empire is basically in place today.
