  1. DANIEL 2

  2. WHAT HAD THE KING SEEN? "YOU, O KING, WERE WATCHING, AND BEHOLD A GREAT IMAGE!" (verse 31)

  3. DANIEL 2 Daniel 2:31-35 You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. This image's head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, Its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like the chaff from the summer threshing floors; and 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.

  4. Daniel 2 Daniel 2:31-33 HEAD CHEST AND ARMS BELLY AND THIGHS LEGS FEET GOLD SILVER BRONZE IRON IRON &CLAY

  5. DANIEL 2 Daniel 2:36-40 This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all--you are this head of gold. But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, thatkingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.

  6. Daniel 2 DANIEL INTERPRETS THE IMAGE Daniel 2:36-38 a) Who was represented by the gold head? (verse 37) ANSWER: King _______________ Nebuchadnezzar b) Over which empire was he ruler? (Daniel 1:1) ANSWER: _______ Babylon

  7. Daniel 2 THE HEAD OF GOLD - BABYLON Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom, (605‑538BC).

  8. Daniel 2 Notice the other parts of the image. THE CHEST AND ARMS OF SILVER THE BELLY AND THIGHS OF BRONZE THE LEGS OF IRON Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that these three metals represented three major kingdoms that would follow Babylon. Daniel 2:39,40

  9. Daniel 2 THE SILVER MEDO‑PERSIA Conquered Babylon, 538BC

  10. Daniel 2 THE BRONZE GREECE Defeated Medo‑Persia, 331BC

  11. Daniel 2 THE IRON ROME Overcame Greece by 168BC

  12. THE FOUR METALS, THEN, REPRESENTED: GOLD BABYLON SILVER MEDO-PERSIA BRONZE GREECE IRON ROME

  13. DANIEL 2 Daniel 2:41-43 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

  14. Daniel 2 THE FEET OF THE IMAGE Daniel 2:33;41‑43 Of what odd mixture were the feet and toes made up? “ Partly of _____ and partly of ____ ." (verse 33) iron clay What did Daniel say the mixture of iron and clay meant? "The kingdom shall be _______ ." (verse 41) divided

  15. Daniel 2 THE FEET OF IRON AND CLAY - The Present Day Roman Empire THE NEW WORLD ORDER AD 476 to today

  16. Daniel 2

  17. DANIEL 2

  18. Daniel 2 Daniel 2:43 "They will not _______ to one another." (verse 43) "Just as iron does not ___ with clay." (verse 43) adhere mix Daniel said: "They will not adhere to one another. " These words have stood in the way of world unity for more than 1,500 years. As we saw last week, God controls kingdoms and rulers – when and how they will rise and when and how they will fall.

  19. Let’s go over this again GOLD BABYLON SILVER MEDO-PERSIA BRONZE GREECE IRON ROME IRON AND CLAY NEW WORLD ORDER?

  20. Daniel 2 In Chapter 7 Daniel sees the rise and fall of these same empires as four fantastic beasts that emerge from the sea.

  21. Daniel 2 VISION OF THE FOUR BEASTS Daniel 7:1‑7 Let’s look really quickly at that line of prophecies. In a night vision he sees "the great sea" lashed by winds. As he watches, four fantastic animals rise out of the water. "The first was like a ____ ,and had eagle's _____ ." (verse 7:4) Lion wings

  22. Daniel 2 2) "A second, like a ____ "(Daniel7:5) Bear 3) "Another, like a _______ " (Daniel 7:6) Leopard 4) "a fourth beast, ________ and _______ " "and it had ___ horns" (Daniel 7:7) dreadful terrible ten

  23. Daniel 2 THE TEN HORNS Daniel 7:7,24 The fourth beast, representing Rome, had ten horns. What did the ten horns represent? "The ten horns are ten _____ who shall arise from this kingdom." (Rome) (verse 24) kings The ten horns of Daniel 7 represent the same ten kingdoms as the feet and toes of the image of Daniel 2. In both cases the ten are shown as the rulers of the Roman empire.

  24. Daniel 2 DANIEL 2 Four Metals DANIEL 7 Four Beasts Symbol Kingdom Symbol Kingdom gold Babylon lion Babylon hands silver Medo Persia Bear Medo Persia Bronze Greece Leopard Greece Iron Rome Fourth Beast Rome Iron & Clay 10 Kingdoms Ten Horns 10 Kingdoms

  25. DANIEL 2 Daniel 2:44-45 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold - the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.

  26. Daniel 2 A DRAMATIC END AND A NEW BEGINNING Daniel 2:44,45 What happened to the image in the closing scene of the vision? "Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it ______________ , the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold - the great God has make known to the king what will come to pass after this." (verse 45) brake in pieces

  27. The falling stone and the destruction of the image point to the end of the long human struggle for control of the world. A new world is to rise from the chaos. 

  28. The great physicist Albert Einstein warned: "ONE WORLD OR NONE " A NEW WORLD ORDER IS PRECISELY THE MESSAGE OF DANIEL. BUT WHO WILL FULFIL THE GLOBAL DREAM?

  29. Daniel 2 Daniel 2:44 The world leaders will attempt to set up a new world order to bring “peace and safety”? Will it last? "And in the days of these kings the ______________ will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed." (verse 44) "And it shall stand _______ ." (verse 44) God of Heaven forever

  30. Stone that fills the earth = The Lord Jesus Christ and God’s everlasting kingdom

  31. DANIEL 2 Daniel 2:46-49 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him. The king answered Daniel, and said, "Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret." Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon. Also Daniel petitioned the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

  32. Not only Daniel, but practically all the Bible prophets tell us that God's kingdom will come. This is one of the great certainties of the future. Do you have a place in the everlasting kingdom?

  33. Daniel 2 • How was King Nebuchadnezzer, the most powerful King on earth, impacted by these prophesies? 2) Daniel heard from the Lord and shared this incredible testimony with a man who could take his life, how does his great example impact you ?  3) What will be the result of the Rock that crushes the image?  4) If the return of the Lord is going to be next weekend (and it could be), how should we live our lives this next week?
