Iron Mixed with Clay

"And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay."(Daniel 2:43)

That verse refers to the last confederation of nations that will invade Jerusalem - they will be controlled by the Antichrist.

The "legs of iron" represent the Roman Empire; the "feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay" represent the revived Roman Empire, which will occupy the area of the former empire.(Daniel 2:33) The nations we see there today represent many different peoples and levels of strength. They will not hold together like the original Roman Empire did.
