Daniel's Promotion and The Stone Kingdom Daniel 2:44-49

To see Daniel 2:44-49 without my comments click HERE.

The final 6 verses of Chapter 2 contain the beginning of what will become an ongoing saga between Daniel and the wise men of Babel/Babylon. It also talks about Daniel's advancement into a position of being the third from the top from ruling Babel. In another post, we discussed who “They” are that are the clay that mixes with the iron toes. It will be after this mixing that the Lord's Kingdom, which is represented by the stone that was not cut by any human hands, comes to destroy the statue.

It's important to notice that the stone hits the feet of the statue. It doesn't hit the head, arms, or any other part of the statue. The statue in this dream was put in a chronological order when interpreted from top to bottom. The most modern part of the statue during Daniel's time was the head and the feet were to be a long time in Daniel's future. If the statue by its appearance is chronological as I claim, then the time that the stone hits will be at the very end of the statue, or in the case I am trying to make is at the very end of the last empire when there will be no more empires or civilization for that matter which is the end of this age. The Bible states that if God doesn't intervene at this time when he comes, then “all flesh” on earth will be destroyed; Matt 24:22.

This proves that the kingdom represented by the feet has to be in existence when the Lord returns. When the Lord comes to restore his kingdom, the bible is specific that this new kingdom will be for the House of Jacob/Israel and will only be for Israel, as it will not be given to any other people; V.44.

When Daniel revealed to King Nebuchadnezzar the information about this dream, King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and worshiped Daniel as a man of God according to V.46. King Nebuchadnezzar knew unequivocally that the God of Daniel was truly the one and only God above all gods of Babel/Babylon. But Daniel gave all glory to the Father in V.28. Daniel by himself could do nothing without the Father working through him.

King Nebuchadnezzar rewarded Daniel by putting this prophet in a position where he would be in a position of authority over the scientists of Babel. Daniel literally saved his own life, his friends lives, and the lives of the scientists of Babel. One would think the scientists of Babel would be grateful for Daniels actions, but instead they were quite envious of Daniel, and started to conspire against him. This is where Chapter 2 leaves off, however, this is not where this story leaves off because it continues in Chapter 3. 

Prior to the events of chapter 3 there's a rebellion that takes place in Babel that threatens Nebuchadnezzar's authority. This happened in 569 B.C. And is not recorded in the Bible. The reason that I know this rebellion happened is because in Britain there exists a cuneiform tablet that was found by Archaeologists that speak of this event. This tablet states that Nebuchadnezzar was able to successfully remain in power which is the setting for Chapter 3.

About the Stone Kingdom that smashes the statue...

The small stone that smashes the statue and fills the earth is none other than Yashua Messiah (Jesus). Which will allow Israel to rule with him from the new Jerusalem (Israel is a man in the Bible and not a land mass in Palestine). Not only will he  rule over the Kingdom of Israel (Israel means to rule under God's law), but his ruling will last forever; Luke 1:31-33.

It all started when Israel was commissioned to become a Kingdom of priests to rule under God's law in 1487 B.C. at mount Sinai; Exodus 19 and 20.

And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, sayiong, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell children of Israel... And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel...And all the people answered together, and said, all that the Lord hath spoke we will do...” (Ex. 19: 3-6,8.)

In 970-969 B.C The House of Israel became divided when the Northern House of Israel revolted against the son of Solomon. Then the power of the Kingdom of Israel was degraded in both the Northern House and the Southern House because of their sins. Eventually they were taken into captivity by Assyria and Babylon. After the Southern house of Judah was captured the Prophet Jeremiah was given his mission (to build and plant Jer 31:28), when Father Yahweh transplanted his Kingdom to the Isles of the Sea (Ireland) far removed from the turmoil of the Babylonian Captivity.

“Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime.” 2 Sam. 7:10

Jeremiah planted the throne of Israel in the Isles of the West. The majority of Israel passed through the Caucasus Mountains en route to Europe (this is where the word Caucasian comes from). The route they took was through the Pass of Israel which has been renamed the Dariel pass in recent years. This movement is prophesied in Micah 2:12-13. 

This Kingdom of Israel will not move nor will any weapon move the Israelites from their land; Isaiah 54:17. It will be at the end of this age when the Lord will return to restore his Kingdom that Israel has let the tares destroy right in front of them through gradualism (Luke 1:31-33, Matt 16:6, Matt 13:24-30). It will be a glorious day when the Nations will come to the House of Jacob to learn the ways of God and learn to live in peace; Michah 4:1-2.

Although Israel is a Holy Nation that is commissioned to rule the world under God's law at both that time and now, we have not done a good job and the world is being destroyed through gradualism. This is because Israel will not keep their end of the agreement and follow the laws of God; Matt 16:6.

Praise the Lord for both the promises that he has kept, and will keep when his Kingdom the New Jerusalem comes to earth; Rev 3:12.
