"The whole image of a man represented the kingdom of man," says Prophets and Kings. The divisions of the image represent the four great world-molding empires. "The iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together," says prophet.

Dan.2:1. - In the 2nd. Year of his reign, he had a
dream. Read verses 2-30. Dan.2:31. - “A great image, whose brightness was excellent; - - - and the form thereof was terrible.” Dan.2:32-35. “This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass. His legs of iron, his feet part iron and part of clay. 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. 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.”
“Babylon, shattered and broken at last, passed away
because in prosperity its rulers had regarded themselves as independent of God, and had ascribed the glory of their kingdom to human achievement. The Medo-Persian realm was visited by the wrath of Heaven because in it God’s law had been trampled underfoot. The fear of the Lord had found no place in the hearts of the vast majority of the people. Wickedness, blasphemy, and corruption prevailed. The kingdoms that followed were even more base and corrupt; and these sank lower and till lower in the scale of moral worth.” Prophets & Kings, p.502.
“The whole image of a man represented the kingdom
of man; but the divisions of the image, the metallic symbols represent the four great world-molding empires which from Daniels time on would prevail on the earth.” Ibid.p.495.

A stone was cut out without hands, which smote the
image upon his feet… and filled the whole earth. Dan.2:34,35,44,45. “The God of heaven shall set up a kingdom!” Rev.11:15.
Isa.28:16. - “Behold, I lay in Zion a foundation a
stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, and sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” Eph.2:20. - “--- Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” Acts.4:11 - “Which is become the head of the corner.” Gen.49:24. - “The shepherd – stone of Israel.” Dan.4:3. - “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.” Luke 1:33. - “And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Heb.1:8. - “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for eve and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the sceptre of they kingdom.” Rev.1:15. - “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” “Our kingdom is not of this world. We are waiting for our Lord from heaven to come to earth to put down all authority and power, and set up His everlasting kingdom. Earthly powers are shaken. We need not, and cannot, expect union among the nations of the earth. Our position in the image of Nebuchadnezzar is represented by the toes,, in a divided state, and of a crushing material, that will not hold together. Prophecy shows us that the great day of God is right upon us. It hasteth greatly.” 1 Test. P.360,361.

destroyed, never to be given to another people than His own, who shall inhabit it forever. “And the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.” Prophets & Kings, p.496.
