Daniel 2:31-40 “Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, (1st beast) his breast and his arms of silver,(2nd beast) his belly and his thighs of brass,(3rd beast) 33 His legs of iron,(4th beast) his "feet" part of iron and part of clay. (10 toes = 10 kings)
34 Thou sawest till that a stone(Lord our Rock) was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon "his feet" that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. (10 toes=10 kings)
35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold,(all 4 beasts) broken to pieces "together",(global 4th beast contains parts of all previous 3 beasts) and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone(Lord our Rock) that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. (Babylonian Empire= 1ST BEAST=Lion)
39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, (Medes and Persian Empire 2nd Beast= Bear)and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.(Grecian Empire of Alexander the great 3rd beast=leopard)
40 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. (Roman Empire start of 4th beast)………runs all the way to the end=….. 2 feet divided kingdom with 10 subdivided toes=10 kings=10 horns……..Daniel 2:41-44 “And whereas thou sawest "the feet" and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. (2 seeds flesh verses Spirit)
44 And in the days of these kings (10 toes=10 horns) 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.”

Ok now, Look at the 4th beast leading up to the "feet" and 10 toes=10 horns=10 kings shown in Daniel 7:7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a "fourth beast", dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with "the feet" of it: (bears feet Rev 13:2) and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (10 toes=10 kings)

Now to the 10 kings in Revelation 17:12 “And the ten horns which thou sawest are "ten kings", which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”

And I believe we are even given a foreshadowing of the 10 kings here in Psalm 83:1-8 “Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with "one consent": (one mind) they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom,(#1) and the Ishmaelites;(#2) of Moab, (#3)and the Hagarenes;(#4)
7 Gebal,(#5) and Ammon, (#6)and Amalek;(#7) the Philistines(#8) with the inhabitants of Tyre;(#9)
8 Assur (#10) also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.”

10 kings are given "one mind" (one consent) as shown above….

Revelation 17:13 “These have "one mind", and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.”
Ishmaelites=Islam Edom=Esau and contain all the children of the "flesh"

God warned the children of Israel, because they had forgotten Him, that He would be "like" these 4 beasts notice below....
Hosea 13:7 "Therefore I will be unto them as "a lion"(#1) as a "leopard"(#3) by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as "a bear"(#2) that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the "wild beast"(#4)shall tear them."

Now what is interesting is the last beast shown to Daniel in Daniel 7:7 is the "wild beast" mentioned above. It is called "dreadful and terrible" but notice in Daniel 7:7 we are told this 4th and final beast would "stamp the residue with the feet of it" Daniel 7:7 "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, "and stamped the residue with the feet of it": and it was "diverse" from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns"

I believe the reason this 4th and final beast is different (diverse) is because it is a conglomeration of the first 3 previous beasts combined, and it is "global", being guided by "the spirit" of the Red Dragon. But what I want you to notice is the "feet" that is said to stamp "the residue" of the people. Keep in mind, God was talking about the flesh and blood Jews in the judgment above. The "remnant" of the Jews is the very last portion mentioned in scripture. As God often shows 3 main groups first, and the 4th and final being the "remnant".

The 4th and final beast is shown in Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a "leopard", and his feet as "the feet of a bear," and his mouth as the mouth of "a lion," and the Dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and his great authority."

So the 4th and final beast is made up of all the previous 3 beasts, but again notice the "feet". The "feet" are the feet of the bear kingdom, which as we saw above would stamp the "residue" or the "remnant" of Israel. This bear Kingdom as we saw above is the old Persian Empire, which today is better known as Iran. And so who is the biggest threat to the nation of Israel at this present point in time, it is Iran.

So keep your eyes open, and watch! Peace and God bless
 
Notice the headlines today…..

“Israel Is Routing Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad After 48 Hours of Fighting.”​

Keep in mind, Iran ( the old Persian empire) is “the feet of the bear” that is prophesied to stamp the residue (remnant) of Israel.

Also keep in mind, the image shown to Daniel was smote on the feet by the Rock….

Daniel 2:34
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
 
Here is an interesting tid-bit. I looked up how many Islamic ruled countries still have Kings ruling over them, or Monarchs. And it is 10, like the 10 toes on the feet.

An Islamic monarchy is a monarchy which adheres to Islam. Historically known by various names, such as Mamlakah ("Kingdom"), Caliphate, Sultanate, or Emirate, current Islamic monarchies include:

 
Funny you should mention Islam, they... perhaps the 10 kingdomes you listed will be the fourth beast of the dream which is a seperate dream and not the same dream he had earlier about the statue.

I would see the 10 kings more like the 10 horns on the 4th beast.

Daniel 7:7
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Revelation 12:3
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Did you get the information about the 2 dreams being about the same thing from the Holy Spirit, or is that what you decided, based on your own intellect?

And yes, Islam is the fourth beast with the 10 horns, 10 kingdoms under Islamic rule.

The 4th beast is global, (7 headed red Dragon)but the 10 kings receive power for one hour with the beast, so they are not the entire beast, just the last to receive power with the beast.

Revelation 17:12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

I have been taught by the Holy Spirit ever since receiving the Spirit back in 2007. Some things I see with clarity, and am certain of, but others things, like the 10 kings are hard to discern.

The only way anyone can understand all the symbolic imagery is by God revealing it to us by His Spirit.
 
The feet are the ten kings, aka ten toes of the metallic statue, not just Iran. We're not there yet, but close.
I would say the feet are connected to the toes by their common belief, but are divided being some are Sunni and some are Shia.

I believe that is why it shows the feet and toes divided, partly clay and partly iron.

Daniel 2:41
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

That "kingdom" is referring to the Roman Empire, those two legs used to be its western and eastern parts, then inherited by Germany and Russia respectively. Their kings were titled "Kaiser" and "Csar", both derived from Caesar. The kingdom was fractured after WWII, you've got all these former colonies declared independence, then after the collapse of the Soviet Union it was further fractured, now there're about 200 countries in the world, that was not the case before WWI. Those muslims have no part in this vision, you give them too much credits than they deserve.

As I tried to show in my OP, and am certain of, that “the feet of the bear” refers to the Old Persian Empire, which is now known as Iran. This I am certain of; but I know many may disagree.

The interpretation belongs to the Lord, and to whomsoever He chooses to reveal it to.

We’re not on the same page. I was talking about the ten toes in king Nebchadnezzar’s dream of the giant statue, which will be smashed by Jesus the meteor falling from the sky. “The feet of the bear” in John’s vision was just a part of the Beast, which shows that this beast is a hodgepodge of all the previous beasts’ features, and the feet of bear allow the beast to move rapidly and trample cruelly like the Persian empire, they have nothing to do with today’s Iran.

I have been taught by the Holy Spirit also, for a little bit longer. It was revealed to me that the dream of the four beasts that come out of the violent sea (of nations/powers) was the four great powers (3 nations that were great powers, Islam the fourth), that came out of the two world wars. Each power caused great distress and fear in the world, for their own reasons. Thats why they were beasts.

They were called beasts because all mankind who do not live by God's law/instruction are beasts in God's eyes. The phrase "beasts of the field" that often appears in prophecy books is just a code name to describe these lawless mob, it's not necessarily referring to literal wild beasts. If you go all the way back to the garden of Eden, Adam was the prototype of Jesus - the Second and the Last Adam, all those beasts were a prophetic picture of gentile nations, and Adam, the only man at the time, was given authority to rule over them. Isaiah also wrote about the millennial kingdom where carnivores and herbivores could peacefully get along, all animals become herbivores and there's no more food chains, that's also a prophetic picture of the everlasting peace in this millennial kingdom where there's no more strife, war and violence between men any more.

Iran used to be known as the old Persian empire, and that was the bear kingdom shown in scripture. Plus Iran wants to see the destruction of the nation of Israel, along with the 10 kings( 10 toes) of the Islamic world, more than any other people or nation.

People need to keep in mind, the beast kingdoms were a part of God’s judgements against the rebellious Jewish people.

From the OP….

God warned the children of Israel, because they had forgotten Him, that He would be "like" these 4 beasts notice below....

Hosea 13:7 "Therefore I will be unto them as "a lion"(#1) as a "leopard"(#3) by the way will I observe them: I will meet them as "a bear"(#2) that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the "wild beast"(#4)shall tear them."

These beasts were sent as a part of God’s judgment against the rebellious children of Israel. Iran is “the feet of the bear” that is forecast ( and has already started) to stamp on the “remnant” of Israel.

I can lead a horse to water, but I cannot make him drink.:)

The order of beast kingdoms, after the fall of the first beast kingdom of Babylon, is given to us in Daniel chapter 8. The second bear kingdom is shown as the Medes and Persians. The third leopard beast kingdom is shown as the Greek empire.

The next Empire is not mentioned by name in scripture, like the first 3, but if you follow the succession of Empires it would have to be the Roman Empire as the start of the 4th.

But the Rev. 13 beast is made up of all the body parts of the previous 3 beasts. The bears feet (Persian Empire) is what stamps upon the latter day children of Israel.

But the bears feet are not the whole 4th beast, they are just a part of the global beast system.
