It is often forgotten that Daniels beast was just one beast not several smaller beasts of different materials and textures.

We do not know too much about Babylonian, Assyrian or Median Phylosophy but we know a fair bit about Greek Philosophy, nicely preserved for posterity by our 'enlightened' Islamic Scholars.

Plato and his fellows turned 'TRUTH' on its head by positing 'plausible' alternatives and theories as 'facts', a practise that has become a lynch pin of modern day science and medicine.

Aristotle took this further, and with his 'third way', created the driving force behind modern socialist humanism.

The Romans gave us Constantinian 'Christianity' which has established the whole cultural underpinning of the western world.

And so we come into the age of the two legs of iron and clay - what a mess.

The Roman Empire split into two, the legacy of the western arm (leg) giving us 'Christianity', the East fostering Islam, Both Religions claiming 'God' as the preserve of their own 'man'.

The legacy of Babylon has always been to promote man as a self reliant pseudo deity, creating his own worship systems - santa clause, easter bunnies etc.

and his own morality systems - hate crimes and recreational sex.

Ladies and Gents the beast is still with us
