A critical point to remember here is the image of Daniel in chapter 2. There we saw one image of four different metals. It was one whole and complete unit with every part connected to the previous and succeeding parts. So these four kingdoms were not totally separate kingdoms, having nothing in common with each other but, rather, they were all connected and part of one whole system. This one system started with the Babylonians, went through to the Medo-Persian, through the Greco-Macedonian, and finally will end with the last beast, which is the Roman system (cf. the paper Mysticism Chapter 1 Spreading the Babylonian Mysteries (No. B7_1)). During these empires, false systems of worship have thrived. Just as stated in Daniel 7:25, the beast would seek to change times and laws. This is just what happened under the Roman beast system with the whore riding it.
