This is part 2 of The Kingdom of the Antichrist (part 1 here). This is another view on the kingdoms that could be the legs of iron and the feet of clay mixed with iron.
15 “So when you see the abomination that causes desolation,spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place” (let the reader understand), 16 “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!17 A man on the housetop must not come down to get things out of his house.18 And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!20 Pray that your escape may not be in winter or on a Sabbath.21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again!22 Unless those days were limited, no one would survive. But those days will be limited because of the elect.
23 “If anyone tells you then, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Over here!’ do not believe it!24 False messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.25 Take note: I have told you in advance.26 So if they tell you, ‘Look, He’s in the wilderness!’ don’t go out; ‘Look, He’s in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.28 Wherever the carcass is, there the vultures will gather.
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days:
The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the celestial powers will be shaken.
30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.31 He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32 “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.33 In the same way, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near—at the door!34 I assure you: This generation will certainly not pass away until all these things take place.35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
36 “Now concerning that day and hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son —except the Father only.37 As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.38 For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark.39 They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. So this is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be:40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one left.41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and one left.42 Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.43 But know this: If the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into.44 This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Matthew 24:15-44 HCSB
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: People went on eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot: People went on eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building. But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.
Luke 17:26-30 HCSB
36 “This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation. 37 Your Majesty, you are king of kings. The God of heaven has given you sovereignty, power, strength, and glory. 38 Wherever people live—or wild animals, or birds of the air—He has handed them over to you and made you ruler over them all. You are the head of gold.
39 “After you, there will arise another kingdom, inferior to yours, and then another, a third kingdom, of bronze, which will rule the whole earth. 40 A fourth kingdom will be as strong as iron; for iron crushes and shatters everything, and like iron that smashes, it will crush and smash all the others. 41 You saw the feet and toes, partly of a potter’s fired clay and partly of iron—it will be a divided kingdom, though some of the strength of iron will be in it. You saw the iron mixed with clay, 42 and that the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly fired clay—part of the kingdom will be strong, and part will be brittle. 43 You saw the iron mixed with clay—the peoples will mix with one another but will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with fired clay.
44 “In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever. 45 You saw a stone break off from the mountain without a hand touching it, and it crushed the iron, bronze, fired clay, silver, and gold. The great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation certain.”
Daniel 2:36-45 HCSB
A fourth kingdom will be as strong as iron; for iron crushes and shatters everything, and like iron that smashes, it will crush and smash all the others.
Daniel 2:40 HCSB (emphasis mine)
You saw the feet and toes, partly of a potter’s fired clay and partly of iron—it will be a divided kingdom, though some of the strength of iron will be in it. You saw the iron mixed with clay, and that the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly fired clay—part of the kingdom will be strong, and part will be brittle. You saw the iron mixed with clay—the peoples will mix with one another but will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with fired clay.
Daniel 2:41-43 HCSB (emphasis mine)
After those 62 weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the coming prince will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come with a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations are decreed.
Daniel 9:26 HCSB
Titus supposing what the fact was, that the house itself might yet be saved, he came in haste and endeavored to persuade the soldiers to quench the fire…yet were their passions too hard for the regards they had for Caesar, and the dread they had of him who forbade them, …as was their hatred of the Jews, and a certain vehement inclination to fight them, too hard for them also…And thus was the holy house burnt down, without Caesar’s approbation.
