  I thought Europe was to remain divided, indicated by the 10 toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue. But I may be misunderstanding the meaning of the 10 toes. It definitely makes sense that Europe needs to unite in order to be brought under Rome’s power. Can you clarify my 10 toes understanding?

    Thank you for your question. Historically many have thought that the ten toes of the prophecy of Daniel 2 represent 10 nations of Europe – a continuation of the ten tribes that invaded Europe as the ancient Roman Empire gradually collapsed. However, this was speculation as there was no inspired comment that would specifically identify this position. This was a reasonable explanation under the conditions of the times. This interpretation, however, ignores the larger issue of globalization and global worship. In order for there to be a globalized worship as found in Revelation 13:8, there must be globalization in politics, economics, education, trade, commerce, enforcement, monetary, etc. All this is in process now. Globalization is built on the concept of regionalization. It happens that the club of Rome has identified 10 regions whose nations are aligned in trade, commerce, and other key elements. These 10 regions are being drawn closer together gradually through the process of regionalization (a preparation for globalization). These 10 regions may well be the prophetic application of the 10 toes of Daniel 2 instead of the traditional application. They may also be linked to the ten kings that give their power and strength to the beast as noted in Revelation 17:12, 13.

    Fifty to sixty years ago, or even farther back, no one was really thinking about globalization as central to prophetic fulfillment. They weren’t really taking globalization into consideration at all. Now that globalization has taken center stage, many are beginning to realize that the prophecy of Daniel 2 has perhaps a wider fulfillment on a global scale. The Vatican is not merely interest in Europe, but the whole world. So, it only makes sense that the ten toes of Daniel 2 could easily have a global application in the final movements of earth’s history. Again there is no direct inspired commentary on this, but as time goes on, it is becoming clearer that the “10 tribes” of modern Europe don’t really fit the larger scenario.
