Beasts are kingdoms. Why not Rome Daniel, legs vs feet and toes?

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
41 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, forasmuch 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.

Arabic rule after Rome ruled
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.

Other than the statement about Islam --

The Seventh-day Adventist church (fifth largest Christian church in the world according to Christianity Today article) teaches that.

In Rev 13 the beast from the Earth - is a massive supper power near the end of time and controls the entire world.

The SDA church has identified a real world super power as the entity that fits that description. The church made that identification known in the mid-1800's

Daniel was speaking of Rome (I think), I don't disagree with that, sorry if I didn't read the post correctly.

No denomination has all of these components in their statement of faith. One reason is the prayer given to us from Jesus Christ of Nazareth, " Our Father who art in heaven".....this is directed straight to our Father. I dont think any faith rejects this prayer.
Blessings.

I suspect it will be hard to find any church that agrees with you on the first two items.

The remaining items would be a good fit for the conservative varieties of Baptists. (Note, though, that Baptists will expect you to confess your sins to God in private prayer; they just don't have a sacrament of confession in the presence of a priest or pastor.) A number of nondenominational churches will agree with items #3-9 as well.
