Daniel 2:35

Daniel 2:35

33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of¹ clay.

34 You watched while a stone was cut out ^awithout hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

35 ^aThen the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became ^blike chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that ^cno trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image ^dbecame a great mountain ^eand filled the whole earth.

36 “This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.

37 ^aYou, O king, are a king of kings. ^bFor the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory;

broken . . . together—excluding a contemporaneous existence of the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of God (in its manifested, as distinguished from its spiritual, phase). The latter is not gradually to wear away the former, but to destroy it at once, and utterly (II Thessalonians 1:7-10; II Thessalonians 2:8). However, the Hebrew may be translated, "in one discriminate mass."

chaff—image of the ungodly, as they shall be dealt with in the judgment (Psalms 1:4-5; Matthew 3:12).

summer threshing-floors—Grain was winnowed in the East on an elevated space in the open air, by throwing the grain into the air with a shovel, so that the wind might clear away the chaff.

no place . . . found for them— (Revelation 20:11; compare Psalms 37:10, Psalms 37:36; Psalms 103:16).

became . . . mountain—cut out of the mountain (Daniel 2:45) originally, it ends in becoming a mountain. So the kingdom of God, coming from heaven originally, ends in heaven being established on earth (Revelation 21:1-3).

filled . . . earth— (Isaiah 11:9; Habakkuk 2:14). It is to do so in connection with Jerusalem as the mother Church (Psalms 80:9; Isaiah 2:2-3).
