The
Image Interpreted
And
the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things:
and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and
bruise. Dan. 2:40
This
4th kingdom is speaking of the Roman Empire. I prefer to say both
sides of the Roman Empire. They were an empire that ruled with an
iron hand. It was actually officials of that Roman Empire who were
involved in the crucifixion of Jesus.
This
metal fittingly represents the Roman Empire which would be
characterized by the description predicted. It did have armies in
iron armor known as the iron Legions of Rome, and it had strength and
invincibility.
