Divide and Conquer System About 2,600 years ago, in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign as king of Babylon, this pagan king has a dream. He saw in his dream a huge statue made of pure gold at its head, silver at its chest and arms, bronze at its belly and thighs, and iron at its legs. But at its feet, it was made of two different elements mixed together and yet they cannot reman united. They are partly iron and partly clay, partly strong and partly brittle, a divided power or strength. Then in the dream, a rock was cut out off a mountain but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet which made it to fall down and was destroyed to be seen no more, but the rock became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. Prophet Daniel was led to give the interpretation from God himself. The clay represents the seeds or children of men so it is the representation of people or the power of people themselves. The iron, bronze, silver, and gold, therefore, represent non-human powers. They are the kingdoms of spirits who acted over humans that ruled the earth solidly in the past starting from the government of Nebechadnezzar. The whole statue then represents the whole world. In the past, human governments don't rule by themselves. They were always under the influence or authority of the so-called gods or spirits of the world. But during the end times of their world, it is now under the leadership of two different and separate dominions. One of them is the rule, might, power, or kingdom of humans, and the other is the seed of the previous iron kingdom of gods or spirits, while other seeds like that of the bronze, silver, and gold power are sitting in the background. During the days of these kings or leaders, the God of heaven will set up the rock kingdom which will never end. It will destroy and annihilate all these other kingdoms.
