"But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth." (Daniel 2: 35).
Daniel interpreted to King Nebuchadnezzar the course of future events which was revealed to the king in a dream. Throughout the Old Testament, God's plan for the Church was revealed in stages using different communications techniques. King Nebuchadnezzar had a mysterious vision of various political powers vying for supremacy. One power displacing the other and occupying center stage for a brief moment until a mysterious stone fell out of heaven and shattered the myth of earthly powers. This stone is the Church. No historian will deny the enduring power of the Church.
"In the lifetime of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed or delivered up to another people; rather, it shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and put an end to them, and it shall stand forever." (Daniel 2: 44).
Christians rejoice in this truth: The Church of God shall endure forever and ever.
"The great God has revealed to the king what shall be in the future; this is exactly what you dreamed, and its meaning is sure.” (Daniel 2: 45).
"Remain faithful till death, and I will give you the crown of life." (Revelation 2: 10).
