Inherent Division
Focus on the Feet -
"The feet and toes were partly of baked clay, and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom" (Daniel 2:41)
Specifically this part of the image was of unique composition. It was a non-coherent mixture obviously subject to inherent division. A remarkable prediction of the bitter historical and religious partition of the two great branches of Islam that has been in progress since the seventh century:- Sunni Moslems & Shi-ite Moslems.
It is inevitable that conflict occurs between the two incompatible factions on every occasion of contact. This has been evidenced In Lebanon; the Iraq-Iran war; the genocide in Iraq; and so on. This polarization will continue to create tension and turmoil. It will inhibit this confederacy realizing its full potential. Eventually, however, a predicted paramount dictator will emerge from their midst. He will unite them into the invincible ruthless super-power that will dominate the whole world.
Final World Power
Focus on the Feet -
"Just as you saw the feet and toes ... in the time of those kings the God of Heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed" (Daniel 2:41-44)
As delineated previously, there is an amazing correspondence and coordination between the final kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar`s history-projecting image; and Daniel's fourth confederacy in his predicted alignment of super-powers: -
"The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom ... then the sovereignty of the kingdom will be handed over to the saints of the Most High. His is an everlasting kingdom." (Daniel 7:24-27)
What is recorded for one is intended to apply precisely to the other. They are one and the same.
In summation and correlation, I believe, this fourth world superpower to be the emerging "Force of Islam", controlled by a "Cabal of Ten", and centered in the Middle East.
