What did the great image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream look like according to Daniel 2?
Daniel describes a great, humongous image whose brightness was excellent and whose form was terrible and frightening. Its head was fine gold, its chest and arms silver, its belly and abdomen brass, its two legs iron, and its feet a mixture of iron and clay.
Les explains that in Daniel 2, Daniel recovers and interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The image was great and humongous, with a brightness that was excellent, but its form was terrible, frightening, and terrifying—something beyond human understanding that shook Nebuchadnezzar. The sequence Daniel gives is: the head of fine gold; the breast or chest area and arms of silver; the belly or abdomen area of brass; the two legs of iron; and the feet a mixture, part iron and part clay. Les notes that translations may use different words, but the whole context shows the vision was frightening. Rather than draw it, he puts the words up in sequence so people can picture it themselves, perhaps like a big robot from Star Wars or a comic strip.
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
