'Iron and Clay'

Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and its interpretation in the Book of Daniel have been a subject of controversy for over 2,500 years. The most controversial passage concerns the fifth kingdom. There are a total of six kingdoms represented in the dream, and few scholars doubt the identity of the first four. The gold represents the kingdom of Babylon. The silver represents the kingdom of Persia. The bronze represents the kingdom of Greece, and the iron represents the kingdom of Rome. These interpretations are widely accepted.
