Yes, the stone cut out without hands represents Jesus Christ, who will destroy all Gentile kingdoms and establish His kingdom that fills the earth.
Les Feldick explains that the stone cut out without hands, meaning no human element, can only be a person of the Godhead, and in Scripture the rock or stone always refers to Christ. This stone strikes the image on its feet of iron and clay, breaking them and then crushing the rest of the image, symbolizing the destruction of all Gentile empires. After crushing them, the stone becomes a great kingdom that fills the whole earth, representing Christ's millennial kingdom.
Daniel 2:34 — This verse describes the stone cut out without hands and how it smites the image on its feet, introducing the key symbol and action.
Daniel 2:35 — This verse explains the outcome of the stone's strike: all metals become chaff, and the stone becomes a mountain filling the whole earth.
Daniel 2:45 — Daniel reiterates the stone's origin and purpose, confirming the certainty of the interpretation.
In Daniel 2, King Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a great image with a head of gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron, and feet of iron and clay. Daniel interprets the dream, revealing the succession of kingdoms and the concluding events. Daniel declares, "Thou sawest a stone cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces" (Daniel 2:34). Then, as Daniel 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 threshing floors; 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 2:35). Furthermore, Daniel affirms, "For as much as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it break 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" (Daniel 2:45).
Les Feldick teaches that the stone cut out without hands represents Jesus Christ. Since no human element is involved, it must come from a person of the Godhead, and anytime Scripture references a rock or stone, it refers to Christ. The stone comes, as it were, from nowhere and strikes the image on its feet of iron and clay, representing the final world empire—the revived Roman Empire. Because the image is top-heavy, it falls over, and the stone rolls over it like a steamroller, crushing all its parts—iron, brass, silver, gold—into powder like chaff. This symbolizes the complete destruction of all Gentile kingdoms. After destroying them, the stone becomes a kingdom that fills the whole earth, signifying Christ's second coming to set up His kingdom and rule from Jerusalem.
The phrase 'cut out without hands' means that no human element is involved, indicating that the stone must come from a person of the Godhead. As Les Feldick explains, whenever Scripture refers to a rock or stone, it points to Christ. Thus, even though Christ is not named directly, the stone represents Him.
The stone strikes the image on its feet, which are made of iron and clay. These feet represent the final world empire, the revived Roman Empire. Since the image is top-heavy with heavier metals at the top and lighter ones at the bottom, it lacks stability and falls over. The stone then rolls over the entire image like a steamroller, crushing the iron, brass, silver, and gold into powder.
After destroying the image, the stone becomes a great mountain that fills the whole earth. Les Feldick teaches that this represents Christ's second coming, when He will set up His kingdom and rule from Jerusalem. The destruction of all Gentile kingdoms is followed by the establishment of God's kingdom that will fill the entire earth.
Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the great image symbolizes successive Gentile empires, ending with a mixture of iron and clay. The stone cut without hands represents Christ's intervention at the end of these empires, destroying them and setting up His eternal kingdom.

This verse introduces the stone cut without hands and its action on the image's feet.
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 threshing floors; 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 describes the complete destruction of the Gentile kingdoms and the establishment of the stone kingdom.
Daniel 2:45: For as much as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it break 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.
Daniel affirms the certainty and meaning of the dream.
