What is the stone cut out without hands in Daniel 2?
The stone in Daniel 2 represents the coming of Christ on His second event. It smites the image upon its feet, striking the empire then on the scene, identified as the revived Roman Empire, and breaks the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold to pieces.
Les explains that Daniel 2's huge image depicts the great Gentile empires: Babylon, then the Medes and Persians, then the Greeks, and then the Romans. The stone cut out without hands is the coming of Christ on His second event. It strikes the image upon the feet, the empire on the scene, which Les identifies as the revived Roman Empire appearing in Western Europe. Verse 35 shows the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold broken to pieces together, becoming like 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.
