Daniel 2 - The Interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's
Dream:
In addition to the statue, the king's dream
included a stone:
You (King Nebuchadnezzar) continued looking until a
stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the
statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed
them. 35"Then the iron, the clay, the
bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at
the same time, and became like chaff from the summer
threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so
that not a trace of them was found. But the stone
that struck the statue became a great mountain and
filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:34-35 (NAS)
Daniel tells the interpretation of the stone in
the dream:
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven
will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed,
and that kingdom will not be left for another
people; it will crush and put an end to all these
kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever. 45
"Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the
mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron,
the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the
great God has made known to the king what will take
place in the future; so the dream is true, and its
interpretation is trustworthy." Daniel 2:44-45 (NAS)
Question:
According to Daniel 2:44-45, what did the stone
(a stone that was not cut out by human hands) do to
the image of gold, silver, brass, iron and clay? |
