Daniel Lesson 13: Dream Interpreted {One Future Godly Kingdom} Part III

In concluding his interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's God-given dream prophecy, Daniel spoke of the Stone cut out without human hands that came from the sky and smashed the colossal image on its feet and toes. The entire statue, representing the whole godless world system, came crashing down, broken into pieces that became like chaff which the wind carried away. The Stone then became a great mountain that filled the whole earth. The Stone is the Lord Jesus at His Second Coming. The great mountain is His Kingdom on earth, known as the Millennial Kingdom. Nebuchadnezzar, a pagan, was overwhelmed with all he heard from Daniel, and he fell on his face before him! He even acknowledged that the God of the Hebrews was greater than "the gods" of Babylon, who were unable to help their "wise men" at all when it came to revealing and interpreting the dream. Daniel was given the position of chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon! It was the equivalent of being made Prime Minister! Thus, at a young age, and a recent stranger to and captive of the great golden Babylonian Empire, Daniel was exalted to the highest position of honor that could be conferred on a subject of the king. He was going to have a tremendous influence on the king.
