What does it mean that the stone was cut out without hands?

Les explains that the stone cut out without hands had to come from the eternal God, meaning it was not a human or earthly kingdom. The stone smote the image upon its feet—the final world empire of iron and clay—and broke the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold to pieces together. They became like chaff of the summer threshing floors, carried away by the wind, showing that God's kingdom supersedes and destroys all human empires.
