King Nebuchadnezzer's Dream

I am dismayed by many things these days, status of the world, where prophecy says we are going and how closely they match-up. The world, like never before is performing events describable as the End-of-Days prophecies. The L’RD is performing all that HE has proclaimed.

In my reading of the Book of Daniel a few years ago, while reading Daniel 2:28 ...." He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what is to be at the end of days." The story of the statue in the dream. 2:31 ...."this statue ,....stood before you..." Nebuchadnezzar is in Babylon (location 20 miles south of Baghdad today, where the Euphrates and the Tigris Rivers meet)?

My Comment: The feet of this statue are part clay and iron, even the toes are described as such. Recently Iraq became a two party government, one strong and seeking dominance over the other weaker more willing to "cry foul". This is the first Arab democratic state that I have heard of. You make a point of saying that this represents Rome. I take it that this particular prophecy is about Babylon’s history ending in Iraq, the Sunni and Shiite groups. How would Babylon instead of Rome, effect our understanding of the prophecies if we read it that way?

We have known about Rome for a long time, and this statue does not reside long after the feet come to be, then The unseen Hand makes the ball.....Destruction. This seems too short for the common interpretation
