Where does the stone strike the image in Daniel 2, and what does that mean?
The stone strikes the image on its feet, which represent the revived Roman Empire in Western Europe. It depicts Christ at His second coming, cut out without hands, breaking the feet to pieces and reducing all the residues of Gentile empires to chaff, ground to powder and blown away.
Les teaches that in Daniel chapter 2, Nebuchadnezzar saw a huge image of a man made of various metals: head of gold, chest of silver, belly of brass, legs of iron, and toes and feet of iron mixed with clay. These depict the great Gentile empires beginning with Babylon, then Medes and Persians, Greeks, and Romans. The stone cut out without hands is the coming of Christ at His second event. It smote the image upon His feet, meaning it strikes the empire on the scene at that time—the revived Roman Empire as seen coming on the scene in Western Europe even tonight. It broke them to pieces. Then verse 35 shows the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold broken to pieces together, becoming like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, ground to powder and blown away.
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
