Verse 31
"Thou, O king sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible. As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breasts and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass, its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and, part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth."
THE DREAM WAS RELATED
The significance of various features of this immense image will appear in the interpretation of it which Daniel promptly revealed to the king. That this image was indeed the feature of Nebuchadnezzar's dream appears in the fact that the king accepted it as the revelation of the dream which he had.
"No place was found for them ..." (Daniel 2:35) is merely an archaic way of saying that, "No trace of them was found."[7]
"A stone cut out by no human hand would be heaven-sent."[8]
