Rome is the beast with 7 heads and ten horns.
Most agree.

But look, look, the legs/toes of iron last until just before the stone strikes.
The nations still exist, but their rule over Israel has ended.
And the stone striking, is not the beginning of the gospel kingdom, that happened before the iron split, it is Jesus coming for the kingdom. Then the judgement and the chaff blows away.
We are just before the stone strikes.
The statue of the gentile nations, that rule over Israel, until they are restored to control of Jerusalem is DONE, FINISHED, COMPLETE, ENDED. THE TOES/horns HAVE ENDED.
The stone is about to strike.
--
The stone striking is the shaking that Paul referred to in Heb 12:25-29, 27. The shaking of things that are made.
The shaking is of the material things that God has created, the universe and all.
This will be the end of life on this planet, and it is about to happen.
After that, only the kingdom will remain, remain with God/Jesus.
---
This shaking, is seen at the 7th bowl/vial, as the greatest earthquake ever.
It is a perfect description of an asteroid strike, the stone striking, the fire from heaven and the hail.
---
We want to know what happens just before this event.
Just before the 7th trumpet, is the 6th trumpet. Armies from across the Euphrates River move to attack Israel.
Just before the 7th bowl/vial is the 6th bowl/vial. Armies from across the Euphrates River and the whole world move to attack Israel. They meet in the place Armageddon.
Just before the fire from heaven, the gentile armies surround Jerusalem.
Notice any similarities?
They are all saying, that after Israel is restored to Jerusalem, Jerusalem is surrounded by Iran (the kings of the east), and Magog (the gentile nations).
----
This is our exact situation right now!
Israel is surrounded by the gentile nations. Iran wants to conquer Jerusalem.
Slowly support for God's people is ebbing away.
Support for Israel's enemies is growing stronger.
Soon Israel will stand alone, and then the end will come.
The battle of Armageddon, where Israel will lose.
Then Jerusalem.
3 1/2 days later, the rapt/resurrection, then the stone strikes, the fire from heaven.
