What happens to the remains of the Gentile empires in Daniel 2:35?
Daniel 2:35 shows the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold broken to pieces together. All residues of those great Gentile empires become like chaff on summer threshing floors, ground to powder, and blown away. The stone strikes the image's feet, breaking the final empire to pieces.
Les teaches that Daniel 2's 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 Christ at His second event, smiting the image upon its feet—the empire on the scene at that time, the revived Roman Empire seen in Western Europe. In verse 35, the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold are broken to pieces together; all the residues of those great Gentile empires become like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, ground to powder and blown away.
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.
