“During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever That is the meaning of the rock cut from the mountain, though not by human hands, that crushed to pieces the statue of iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold. The great God was showing the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its meaning is certain.” Daniel 2:44 – 45
When Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, he saw an unstable kingdom represented by toes made of iron and clay – a strange mix of strength and weakness, interconnection, and division. Today, we are a culture that is globally connected but wracked with conflict.
How can we overcome the dissension that plagues our world? Will the correct candidate help us overcome our issues? Will the right legislation finally unite us in peace and justice?
Daniel said that no assistance would rise from one party or nation. Instead, help will come from heaven above. Our great God sees the affairs of earth, and He carved a Stone from His holy mountain. That Stone that the builders rejected is now the Chief
Cornerstone – Jesus Christ (I Peter 2:6).
That Cornerstone was the seed of the woman that God spoke of in Genesis. He was the rock in the wilderness from which living water flowed. David called Him a rock of refuge, a strong tower, and an always-present help in times of trouble.
That same Stone will grow into a great mountain that fills the whole earth and will crush all previous empires. His will be an indestructible kingdom that will stand forever.
LET’S PRAY
May your feet be established on the Rock of our Salvation until we reign with Him in His eternal kingdom. Hallelujah to the Stone that is coming! Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life
