Nebuchadnezzar had a dream of a large statue made of different materials from the head to the feet, which Daniel interpreted as representing future kingdoms that would rule the earth. Daniel said the statue represented Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome, with the feet of iron and clay signifying divided kingdoms. The dream concluded with a stone cut from a mountain without human hands that smashed the statue, which Daniel said signified God's kingdom that would crush all earthly kingdoms and endure forever.
