Daniel 2:37 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 2:37

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;

38 ^aand 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—^byou are this head of gold.

39 But after you shall arise ^aanother kingdom ^binferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

Daniel 2:36-37

I think that, normally, we would be very quick to jump to the conclusion that the kingdom that God gave to Nebuchadnezzar was Babylon. And that would be a correct answer. But, what did Babylon do? Babylon conquered Judah. They became Judah's "governor." God disappeared from the scene. The kingdom that God gave to Nebuchadnezzar was also His people, Israel.
