“You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.” [1]
The iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold represented the last of the last great worldly empires to rule over the world. These empires were impressive for people to behold. They seemed unbreakable, but after a little stone hit them, they were totally gone.
That little stone that becomes a great mountain and fills the earth is the Kingdom of God. His kingdom came to earth in the form of a baby born in a manger. This stone may seem harmless, even laughable to some, like a children’s story, but the little stone, Christ, shall bring down the mighty kingdoms of this world and replace them, and His kingdom shall not end. His kingdom shall never be overthrown. No more flip flopping between one political party and another. His Kingdom shall be firm like a rock, as well as great and glorious!
“Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” [2]
“Yes, come a second time Lord Jesus!”
[1] Daniel 2:34-35
[2] Hebrews 9:28
