The stone cut out without hands in Daniel 2 represents Jesus Christ at His second coming.
Les Feldick teaches that because the stone is cut out without hands, no human element is involved, so it must be God — and whenever Scripture speaks of the stone or rock, it is always Christ. This stone strikes Nebuchadnezzar's image on the feet, the final world empire, crushes all the residue of Gentile rule, and then becomes a kingdom that fills the whole earth.
Daniel 2:34 — This verse directly describes the stone cut out without hands and shows it smiting the image upon the feet of iron and clay.
Daniel 2:35 — This verse reveals that the stone breaks all the metals to pieces and then becomes a great mountain that fills the whole earth.
Daniel 2:44 — This verse gives the divine interpretation that the stone represents a kingdom set up by the God of heaven that will never be destroyed.
In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar sees a great image made of various metals, and then a stone is cut out without hands. Daniel 2:34 says, "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." Verse 35 continues, "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." Daniel 2:44 gives the interpretation: "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever." The text also declares in verse 45, "the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure." So, according to Scripture, the stone is a kingdom established by God that destroys all earthly kingdoms and fills the entire earth.
Les Feldick teaches that the stone cut out without hands is Christ. He points to the phrase "cut out without hands" and says it means no human element is involved — only a person of the Godhead can be God, and whenever Scripture mentions the stone or rock, it is always Christ. This stone, Les explains, comes at Christ's second coming and smites Nebuchadnezzar's image on its feet, which represents the final world empire, the iron and clay of the revived Roman Empire. Les further teaches that when the stone strikes, the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold are all broken to pieces together. These metals picture the Gentile empires throughout history, and their residue becomes like the chaff of a summer threshing floor, blown away. After this destruction, the stone becomes a kingdom — and Les emphasizes from Daniel 2:35 that this kingdom is not just in the land of Israel but fills the whole earth.
Les Feldick focuses on the phrase "cut out without hands" and explains that this means no human element is involved. Since a person of the Godhead has to be God, and whenever Scripture speaks of the rock or stone it is always Christ, the stone cut out without hands is Christ — coming, as Les says, "out of nowhere."
Les teaches that the stone smites the image upon its feet, which are made of iron and clay. He identifies this as the final world empire on the scene when Christ returns — the revived Roman Empire — and says Christ will crush everything that smacks of Gentile rule and empire.
When the stone strikes the feet, the iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold are broken to pieces together. Les describes these metals as representing all the residue of the great Gentile empires; they become like the chaff of a summer threshing floor and are ground to powder and blown away.
After the stone destroys the image, it becomes a kingdom. Les emphasizes the closing words of Daniel 2:35 — the kingdom is not just in the land of Israel, but it fills the whole earth.

word of the Lord came unto me, saying again, Moreover thou son of man, take one stick, and write upon it, for Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions. Then take another stick, and write upon it, for Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions. In other words, he's referring to the nation when it was divided.
The Stone Is Christ
Les explains that because the stone is cut out without hands, no human element is involved, so the stone must be Christ, since the stone/rock of Scripture always refers to Him.
The Stone Is Christ (Parallel Teaching)
In this parallel clip, Les repeats the same key point: the stone cut without hands has no human element and refers to Christ.

The Stone Becomes a Kingdom That Fills the Earth
Les emphasizes that after the stone smites the image, it becomes a kingdom that is not limited to Israel but fills the whole earth, as Daniel 2:35 says.
The Kingdom Fills the Earth (Parallel Teaching)
In this parallel clip, Les again stresses that the stone becomes a kingdom filling the whole earth, not just the land of Israel.
All the Metals Broken to Pieces Together
Les reads the prophecy showing that iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold are broken to pieces together and become like the chaff of the summer threshing floor.
Daniel 2:34: 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.
This is the first mention of the stone in the dream, directly answering the question by showing its supernatural origin and its target.
Daniel 2:35: 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.
This verse shows the complete destruction of the image and the stone becoming a kingdom that fills the earth.
Daniel 2:44: And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
This verse reveals the meaning of the stone as the God-given kingdom that destroys all others and stands forever.
Daniel 2:45: Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
This verse confirms the certainty of the dream and its interpretation, tying the stone directly to God's revealed plan.
According to Les Feldick, the stone cut out without hands is Christ. He says the phrase means no human element is involved, and Scripture always uses the stone or rock to point to Christ.
Les teaches that the stone strikes the image at Christ's second coming, at the end of the tribulation, when the final world empire — the iron and clay of the revived Roman Empire — is on the scene.
The iron, clay, brass, silver, and gold of the image are broken to pieces together and become like the chaff of a summer threshing floor, which the wind carries away.
Yes. Daniel 2:35 says the stone became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. Les Feldick emphasizes that this kingdom is not limited to the land of Israel but fills the entire earth.
