Stone cut without hands destroying the statue applied to Messianic kingdom in Talmud
This lesson explores how Daniel 2:34 connects to Jesus.
While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them.
Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.

Stone cut without hands destroying the statue applied to Messianic kingdom in Talmud
Daniel saw a stone cut without human hands that destroyed every earthly kingdom. Jesus applied this to Himself — He is the stone that breaks and crushes. God's kingdom replaces every human empire.
Lord, the kingdom You promised in Daniel 2:34 is breaking in through Matthew 21:44. Make me a faithful citizen of that kingdom today.
