The Image
& The Stone
Daniel 2:34-35
- While you were watching, a stone was cut out,
but not by human hands.
- It struck the
statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.
- Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the
silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a
threshing floor in the summer.
- The wind swept them away without leaving
a trace.
But
the Stone that struck the statue became a
huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
The
Interpretation of The Image & The Stone
Daniel
2:44-45
·
In the time of those kings, the God of heaven
will set up a kingdom that will never be
destroyed, nor will it be left to another people.
·
It will crush all those
kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure
forever.
·
This is the meaning of the vision of
the rock cut out of a
mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the
clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
In our previous article, we have seen
the four successive worldly empires ruling the earth. These dominant world powers have come and
gone just as God said they would.
Daniel 2:44 "And in the days of these kings the God
of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed." This Kingdom that shall never be destroyed is
the Messianic Kingdom, established by Yahweh God at the second coming of Jesus.
We are living in extraordinary times to this great climax
for the final act of the Rock, cut not by human hands, destroying all the
worldly empires.
Tomorrow, we will look at more spiritual principles so
that we can see how all these apply to our lives.
