Daniel 2
31 "You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay.
34 While 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. 35 Then 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.
The meaning of the metals
The bronze, silver, bronze and iron is the AGE OF MAN. We are in the iron age currently. This prophecy is not about areas of the world. It is the age of man.
The meaning of the rock
1 Corinthians 10:4 (New International Version)
4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
The rock is JESUS CHRIST.
The meaning of the mountain
Isaiah 2:2 (New International Version)
2 In the last days
the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established
as chief among the mountains;
it will be raised above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.
The mountain of the Lords temple will be established.
Who was Daniel speaking too?
Daniel 2
37 You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
Daniel was speaking to ONE King, but if you notice he says MANKIND, and wherever they live,the spirit in the KING when Daniel was speaking to him about the dream was the one from the GARDEN OF EDEN.
The gold in that verse is the reference to the beginning of the age of man.
The Iron and Clay in verses 41 and 42
Daniel 2
41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
Now the iron and clay in these two verses means something entirely different then age of MAN.
What is the Kingdom?
It is the Kingdom of Gods people. The Kingdom of the Lords people.
What or whom is the Iron?
Proverbs 27:17
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another.
The iron is the strong part of the kingdom of Gods people, such as myself and Duncan.
What or whom is the clay?
Isaiah 64:8 (New International Version)
8 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand
Romans 9:21 (New International Version)
21Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use.
Job 10:9
Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
The clay needs to be molded in the potters hands (GOD) to be remolded into iron and proper word of GOD.
The iron would be strong and the clay would be brittle.
What does the brittle actually imply and mean?
Isaiah 45:9 (New International Version)
9 "Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker,
to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,
'What are you making?'
Does your work say,
'He has no hands'?
A potsherd is broken pottery, pottery is made of clay. The brittle is implying it can be broken.
The Kingdom That Will Never Be Destroyed
Daniel 2
44 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.
This would be the Kingdom of God, the ending where the old earth and old heaven pass as the book of revelation tells you crushing these kingdoms for a new Kingdom with God, a new heaven and new earth as the book of revelation tells you.
The age of man is not a myth, if you would like to read about it on wikipedia it is an interesting read.
**please keep in mind one of my gifts is interpreting dreams it comes with my prophecy which is why I know what this chapter means.
1 Corinthians 10:4 (New International Version)
4and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
The rock is JESUS CHRIST.
The meaning of the mountain
Isaiah 2:2 (New International Version)
2 In the last days
the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established

The mountain of the Lords temple will be established.
