DANIEL TOES ARE GENUINE FOES
IT SHALL TAKE THE POWER OF GOD
TO HOLD SUNNI & SHIITE CLAY & IRON
TOES IN ANY BOND FOR A LENGTHY PERIOD
DUE TO MANY CENTURIES OF INTENSE HATRED!
PART 1
September 12, 2010
The friction and religious hatred between the Sunni and Shiite clay and iron toes has kept them from uniting against the infantile Gentiles since the Umayyad Empire fell apart in derision by the sword.
Daniel 2:41-44 – And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, for asmuch
as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. [42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and
partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the k ingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break
in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Revelation 17:13,17 – These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan will not be among the 10 toes/horns that initially attack Israel, but they will fall to the Antichrist who leads the 10 toes, and will be a part of his Caliphate Kingdom.

Since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and the ensuing alteration of the regional balance of power in favor of Iran, Saudi Arabia has looked at the world through an Iranian and Shiite prism. This prism affects the way it views its neighbor across the Gulf, its position in the Arab and Islamic world, and its own Shiite population.
Saudi Arabia’s current regional political troubles are nearly entirely connected to the rise of Iran and the Shiites in the region. Saudi Arabian involvement in the West Bank and Gaza-and in particular in the agreement to establish a national unity government, signed on February 8, 2007 by Fatahand Hamas-was meant to lower the flames in the region in order to limit Iran’s influence. Saudi involvement in Lebanon also stems from this desire to check Iran, as do several meetings between Saudi and Israeli officials and the revival of the Saudi initiative for a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
As the Saudis move to restrain the rising strength of Iran and the Shiites outside the kingdom, they keep an ever-watchful eye over their own Shiite population.
The ascendancy of the Shiites in Iraq and Lebanon has given rise to a feel
ing of empowerment amongst the Shiites of Saudi Arabia.
They are proud of the accomplishments of their brethren. At the same time, they are cautious in what they hope for and how they express themselves, because much of the Wahhabi ulama in Saudi Arabia fears the rise of Shiism, and vocally opposes it. The Saudi Shiites expect the government to condemn anti-Shiite fatwas, and act as a protector, but the government has not done so.
The Saudi government, in fact, has its own concerns.
Its base of support is amongst the Wahhabi, anti-Shiite majority. It is a religious state that derives its legitimacy from a form of Islam that is, almost by definition, anti-Shiite.
Indeed, there is a long history of Wahhabi anti-Shiite polemics.2 The Wahhabi majority expects the Saudis, as the leaders of the Sunni world, to put the Shiites, led by Iran, in their place. The government therefore cannot be seen as trying to plac ate its own Shiites
at this time.
The Shiites of Saudi Arabia have the misfortune of outside forces-be they the Saudis of Najd or the Persians of Iran-always determining their fates.
The Saudis and the Iranians have a long history of enmity, punctuated with periods of good relations. Saudi Arabia’s Shiites have often found themselves caught in the middle.
They have been both the object of Saudi persecution and disdain and the subject of Iranian recruitment to subvert the Saudi regime.3 Historically, their response has moved between dissimulation, accommodation, attempted reconciliation, and terrorism.4 They reject the official narrative of Saudi history, which portrays the capture of the area where most of the Shiites live-al-Hasa-as a mythological “unification” of the Arabian Peninsula.5 For many of the Shiites, their homeland has been occupied since the capture of al-Hasa by Ibn Saud in 1913.
There are two important political elements that constantly impact the fate of Saudi Shiites.
One is internal-the Wahhabi ulama and their rank-and-file followers. The other is external-Iran, Saudi Arabia’s main political and religious rival across the Gulf.
