Went through it but didn't have a lot of revelations.
I do think it's a great example of how we will be called on to be GOD'S AND GOD'S ALONE
in spite of the circumstances in the comming horrors.
Blessings,
neb's dream revealed the kingdoms which would arise after him, symbolised by various materials;1. gold....2. silver.....3. brass....4. iron......5. iron mixed with clay. then the stone (v.34) smote the image - WHERE? - and then the stone became - WHAT?(v.35)
though the focus is the stone, and we can see WHO it symbolizes by WHAT it becomes, the characteristics of each material - symbolizing kingdoms, is wonderful to see! these kingdoms are described again in another symbolic vision, later in daniel, and i think its very "faith-building" to see and understand these. god has given us his word to show us that he KNOWS whats going on, and what he plans to do about it!
(v33)ask; what is it about the feet that is different from the other descriptions? the other substances making up the image were "one", and the feet are a MIXTURE! now....does that mixture "mix"? this is important because god wants us to know that there will be no "oneness" until the end (the stone).
later, the symbolism concerning the dragon, the beast, & the false prophet (unholy/false "trinity") will change the picture somewhat - and thats ok! - it just may be a good idea to begin with beginnings.....because it DOES RELATE....and (just my opinion) it may be best to seek thru the confusion (faux pearls) systematically.....hence; understanding DANIEL. ok? (i hope) god bless you all!
