Daniel 2:32-34,44-45 - The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its middle and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces…And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
Zechariah 4:6 - Then he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
Psalm 2:9 - You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
Application:
· God’s Word to Zerubbabel is a reminder that the obstacles I face will not be overcome by conventional resources but by an outpouring of the Holy Spirit
· The stone that will break in pieces all kingdoms is Christ, the One in whom God plans to unite all things in His glorious kingdom
· Christ will triumphantly rule and dash to pieces the nations
