In Daniel chapter 2 Nebuchadnezzar has a dream and Daniel gets the dream from God and tells the king the dream and what it means.
The king saw a huge image of a metal man. The head was of gold, the arms and chest of silver, the belly and thighs of brass, the legs of iron and the feet of iron and clay. Suddendly a stone cut out of a mountain without hands hits the feet of the statue and turns it into powder and the wind blows it away.
The head of gold is Babylon - Daniel 2:38
The chest and arms of silver is Medo-Persia - Daniel 5:31
The belly and thighs of brass is Greece - Daniel 8:21
The legs of iron is the Roman Empire
The feet of iron and clay is the 10 divided nations of Europe
Babylon ruled from 605 to 539BC
Medo-Persia conquered Babylon in 539BC and ruled from 539 to 331BC
Greece conquered Medo-Persia in 331BC and ruled from 331 to 168BC
Rome conquered Greece in 168BC and ruled from 168BC to 476AD
Rome was divided from within and was invaded by barbarian tribes from 351 to 476AD. Those barbarian tribes now exist as:
England
France
Spain
Portugal
Germany
Switzerland
Italy
(the other three tribes were completely wiped out in the 6th century)
And the stone represents the second coming of Jesus Christ which happens in the time of the ten toes of the image.
