Who does the stone that smote the image represent?
The stone that smote the image represents the returning Christ. After crushing the residue of Gentile empires and the Antichrist’s armies, He destroys the planet’s cities; then the stone becomes a great mountain filling the whole earth, establishing His Kingdom in preparation for Israel’s promises.
Les explains that the stone which smote the image is the returning Christ. In the vision, the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold are broken to pieces and become like chaff of the summer threshing floor; the residue of the Gentile empires is blown away at the Second Coming. After that punctuation mark, the stone that smote the image becomes a great mountain and fills the whole earth, meaning He sets up His Kingdom. Les also notes that the 75 days will be used to cleanse the earth and get everything ready for the Kingdom economy, before the Jewish resurrected believers come in and Israel receives the fulfillment of all their Old Testament promises.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
