In the Book of Daniel, 2:32 King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and Daniel was asked to?

to interpret it.The dream was of immense image and this images head was gold it's chest an arms were silver, it's abdomen and thighs were copper it's legs were iron, it's feet were partly of clay and iron. This was interpreted as being a succession of World powers that crumbled and no longer were of any power, (1) Babylon (2) Medo Persia (3) Greece (4) Rome (5) the is Anglo-America which was established 1914-1918 ( Britain and America) and is still a strong world power. I want to know if anyone in light of us not having a working government is this a sign that this world power will also crumble? It really seems it's a start of something shaky

    No, but as the prophecy goes on to explain, this LAST human government [world power] would be compared to clay not sticking to iron. Like any other democracy, there are times of disagreements.

    Daniel 2:44 (King James Version)

    44And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

    What is the ONLY way to KNOW FOR SURE if SOMEONE CAN INTERPRET A PARTICULAR TROUBLING DREAM THAT YOU THINK HOLDS SOME SIGNIFICANCE for the FUTURE. .

    YES, LET THE PERSON TELL YOU WHAT YOU DREAMT. THIS, INDEED WAS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar dreamt about all the world powers that would precede the FINAL WORLD GOVERNMENT INSTALLED BY God Almighty himself.

    What the King Dreamt

    An immense image with

    1. Head of gold = Empire of Babylon

    2. Chest of silver = Empire of Medes and Persians

    3. Lower trunk of brass/ copper = Empire of Greece [Alexander the Great, then his four generals.

    4. Feet of iron and toes of iron mixed with molded clay = Empire of Rome which extended to a small island called Britannia. Britannia, eventually became Great Britain, which in turn had 13 to 14 colonies on what eventually became known as US of A. These two world powers are mixed with the offspring of mankind [melting pot of ethnicity], also, this DUAL world power [each has] entertains a democratic political face with strong and vibrant oppositions and thus like molded clay and iron, do not ‘mix’ [agree] on most political fronts.

    Another prophecy that confirms the last earthly world power is found at Revelation.

    Revelation 17:9- 11 read: "Here is where the intelligence that has wisdom comes in. The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top. And there are seven kings, five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a SHORT WHILE. And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also an eighth [king], but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction.

    The existing world power at the time of writing of Revelation was Rome. The five that have fallen are:

    1. Egypt

    2. Assyria

    3. Babylon [Chaldeans]

    4. MedoPersia

    5. Greece [first Alexander the Great, then his four generals]

    The seventh world power is the Anglo-American power [UK and USA]

    Whilst the eighth that sprung from number seven is the United Nations [UN],

    6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

    Revelation 21 (King James Version)

    2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

    3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

    4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

    No.

    The following is from the September 15th 2012 Watchtower article "How This World Will Come to an End"

    "The feet form the last part of the image, indicating that no other human world power will appear on the scene. That the feet and toes are made up of iron and clay pictures the weakened state of the Anglo-American World Power."

    In paragraph 14 of the same article it says the following

    "The same prophecy indicates that God’s Kingdom, pictured by a large stone, was cut from the mountain of Jehovah’s sovereignty in 1914. That stone is now hurtling toward its target—the feet of the image. At Armageddon, the feet and the rest of the image will be smashed. (Read Daniel 2:44, 45.) Thus, the Anglo-American World Power will still be the dominant world power when Armageddon strikes."

    Summary and Discussion: The Anglo-American World Power is the last part of the image and it will not be replaced when Armageddon begins. After Armageddon, it will be replaced by God's kingdom (this will be when there are no more national governments like there are today).

    This dream of Nebuchadnezzar was already interpreted by prophet Daniel in the following verses from [Daniel 2: 36-49]. There is no need to interpret again for today's situations but look at the result of Nebuchadnezzar's actions. Almost all people now on earth, except for some real Christians now who are continuing and pursuing the law of Christ, are now idol worshipers or idolaters and those reckless religious organizations who are pursuing the practice of Nebuchadnezzar up to now read what apostle Paul, the apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Gentiles [The Acts 9: 15-16], in [1 Timothy 1: 2-19; 2: 1-15; 3: 1-16; and 4: 1-16] also [2 Timothy chapters 1-4].

    But because there are people who have already inculcated in their hearts and minds misconceptions about the Lord Jesus Christ and the God the Father and the Spirit of God, there are about more than 5 billion people in this planet earth who either do not believe in God and others are idol worshipers or idolaters. I only hope and pray that before the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ many will return to the fold of God and turn to His reproof [Proverbs 1: 23-33].

    To God be the glory!

    Maybe we can help

    Rome is the last empire described in scripture (Revelation which closely follows Daniel's prophecies). The reason why is not that Rome was the last power. It clearly was not. The reason why then is that God's plan of salvation was complete by the time that Jesus judged and destroyed Rome. His church had been fully established by then and Jesus spiritually married her.

    Later we had Ottoman Empire, British Empire, etc.

    You are correct in the knowledge that all nations, empires and kingdoms will decay and collapse eventuall - because they forget God. America is almost down for the count.

    Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

    Probably, I mean we never know until one giant country collapses, most likely economically or by war or by something, so if your a citizen in a giant country, get prepared and get out if something does go wrong in your country.
