Rome was the fourth World Ruler as indicated by the great Image and was judged the same as the others.
God gave the king of Babylon the first rulership and even though they did not cover the whole world God still said that all was subject to him, (Dan. 2: 38)
Note, the EU does not like to go to war. It is not the terrifying beastly kingdom of Dan. 7. It is quite clear that Islam fulfils that terrifying role.
The bible with its description of the fourth kingdom clearly shows that rome was simply the start of teh fourth kingdom which continues till this day!
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
These are the description of the fourth beast as declared in Gods Word. If you can show that all these things have come to pass by the time of the end of the Roman Empire, then I would agree with you!
But Jesus hasn't returned and we are not in possession of the kingdom- so the fourth beast is still ongoing!
