Daniel 2:45
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake 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.

Study Note
The interpretation of the stone 'cut out of the mountain without hands' that destroyed the statue confirms that the vision's final kingdom is of divine origin rather than human construction — 'without hands' explicitly denying human craft as the source of the eschatological power that replaces all empires. The stone that fills the whole earth (v. 35) represents a kingdom that does not merely succeed previous empires but qualitatively supersedes them, growing from a small beginning to cosmic totality. Early Christian interpretation uniformly identified the stone as Christ and his kingdom (Matthew 21:44 quotes a stone-crushing image with eschatological significance), making Daniel 2 the Old Testament foundation for the kingdom of God proclamation. The phrase 'the dream is certain and the interpretation thereof sure' provides a divine warranty of the vision's reliability that mirrors the Revelation's closing 'these words are faithful and true' (Revelation 22:6).

Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that by it the iron and the brass and the earth and the silver and the gold were broken to bits, a great God has given the king knowledge of what is to take place in the future: the dream is fixed, and its sense is certain.
