Daniel 2
Daniel reveals King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream.
You, O king, were looking, and there before you stood a very large image (statue), a dazzling and awesome image.
The head of the image was made of pure gold.
Its chest and arms made of silver.
Its belly and thighs made of bronze.
Its legs made of iron.
Its feet made partly of iron and partly of clay.
While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but without human hands. It struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces.
Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff ( trash) from the summer threshing floors; and the wind blew them away so that no trace of them was found.
And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
To be continued. – The interpretation of the dream.
Chaff – is the seed covering that is removed from cereal grain during the threshing process, the chaff is discarded and the grain kept.
