4 of 4 Rome. The Not So Eternal City

This lecture examines the rise, dominance, and decline of Rome through the lens of Bible prophecy. From its beginnings as a city of warfare and power, to its role as the fourth kingdom in Daniel’s image, Rome is traced as an empire of iron that subdued nations yet gradually decayed from within. The study highlights the continuity of Rome through its transformation into the Holy Roman Empire and its influence in shaping modern Europe, showing how history and prophecy intertwine. The talk concludes by pointing forward to the time when Christ will return to shatter the image and establish God’s everlasting kingdom, bringing an end to the ambitions of human empires and revealing the true eternal city, Jerusalem.
