Kingdom of God 8/17/2014 Rev. Joseph Chang BOLGPC
Daniel 2:31-35 • 31"You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue--an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.
Daniel 2:31-35 • 34While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
Continuity/連續 • 1. The fifth kingdom is in succession of the fourth kingdom. 第五個國度是連續第四個國度.
Discontinuity/不連續 • 1. Out of different material—a stone, not manmade. 不同的材料—不是人手所作的 • 2. It comes down from heaven.從天上降下.
Eschatological Fulfillment • 11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
Eschatological Fulfillment • s14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. (Rev 19:11-16)
