Saturday, October 25 The kingdom will partly prove to be strong and will partly prove to be fragile.—Dan. 2:42. Daniel 2:41 describes the feet of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar saw as being a mixture of iron and clay, as one “kingdom,” not many. The clay, therefore, represents elements within the sphere of influence of the Anglo-American World Power, elements that make it weaker than the solid iron of the Roman Empire. The clay is referred to as “the offspring of mankind,” or the common people. (Dan. 2:43) In the Anglo-American World Power, people have risen up to claim their rights through civil rights campaigns, labor unions, and independence movements. The common people undermine the ability of the Anglo-American World Power to act with ironlike strength. Also, opposing ideologies and close election results that do not end up in a clear majority have weakened the power base of even popular leaders, so that they have no clear mandate to implement their policies.—2 Tim. 3:1-3. w12 6/15 2:9
