The Stone Cut Without Hands
By David J. Stewart
Daniel 2:34-35, “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 threshingfloors; 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.”
According to Nebuchadnezzar's image in Daniel 2:1-35, we are living in the time of the toes and feet mixed with iron and clay. The iron and clay represent Communism and freedom. Korea today is a perfect example of this truth. North Korea is Communist and South Korea is free. Daniel 2:34-35 foretells of a wonderful prophecy when the Lord Jesus Christ shall return to set up His kingdom upon the earth. What a glorious day that will be!!!
The image to the left depicts Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel 2. We are presently living in the time of the toes of mixed clay and iron. Clearly we are living in the End Times of history. The Bible is so amazing!!!
The head of gold represents king Nebuchadnezzar in BABYLON. The breast of silver represents MEDO-PERSIA. The thighs of brass represent GREECE. The legs of iron represent ROME. Rome crumbled in 486 AD. There are no world powers today, only superpowers like China, Russia and the United States. It is exciting to know that we are living in the times of the feet and toes of iron and clay.
As further evidence of this Biblical truth, consider Revelation 17:10-12...
Revelation 17:10-12, “And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”
In the preceding passage of Scripture in Revelation 17:10-12 we find two additional kings mentioned, that is, prior to Babylon ruling over the world, ASSYRIA ruled in might, and then before them EGYPT. So since the beginning of civilization this is the nations which have ruled the world: EGYPT, ASSYRIA, BABYLON, MEDO-PERSIA. GREECE and ROME (six nations). Notice in Revelation 17:10 that 5 kings are fallen and one is (which was Rome at the time Revelation was penned in 96 AD by the apostle, John). Of course, God is the Author of the entire Bible. He used men as pens to write His Words. How We Got God's Words (a needful Bible study by Dr. Jack Hyles MP3| Listen). The next, seventh king, will be the New World Order, out of which will arise the Antichrist (who is the eighth). Notice that the Antichrist is of the seventh, that is, he arises from the New World Order.
There will be a coalition of nations who will join the Antichrist and do something very stupid, that is, make war against the Lord. That's the dumbest thing anyone could ever do. Only a complete idiot wars against God.
Proverbs 21:30, “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.”
The New World Order will fail. Who's side are you on? I am on the Lord's side (Joshua 24:15). The 7-heads of the Beast are the seven world powers throughout history. The Beast represents the beastly governments of mankind, which have killed so many innocent people (hundreds-of-millions) throughout history. The Beast represents the highest authorities of mankind, which have always blasphemed the God of the Bible and perpetrated evil, worshipping Lucifer (the god of this world, 2nd Corinthians 4:4). The 7-world powers are namely: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome (which fell in A.D. 486) and the 7th will be World Government.
Please note that the 7th empire will NOT be the revived Roman empire. The Bible never says that. The 7th king will be the New World Order. The 8th king will be the Antichrist (Revelation 17:11). Revelation 17:12 teaches that the 10-horns are ten kings who will be given immediate power by the Antichrist during the Tribulation Period.
We learn in Daniel 2:20-22 that God sets up kings and removes them from power...
Daniel 2:20-22, “Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
Don't you make light of God my friend. I want you to go to Heaven when you die. Hell is real. Hell is forever. You can't trifle with God. Today may be the last day of your life! The stone cut without hands is the Lord Jesus Christ, and He is coming soon. Are you ready my friend for His coming? Have your sins been cleansed away by His precious blood that He shed on Calvary's cross? There is no other way of forgiveness. Only the blood of Jesus can wash our sins away. No priest nor minister can forgive nor absolve your sins. Only Jesus has the nail-scared hands and feet. Only Jesus! (Acts 4:10-12).
In the Lord's prayer we are taught to pray daily for the Lord's return. Matthew 6:10, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Notice that God's will being done on earth is predicated by His coming again. When Christ returns at the Second Coming (after the 7 year Tribulation), He will reign in righteousness and the Devil will be bound in chains and cast into the bottomless pit for 1,000 years. Amen for that!
There can be no peace in this world as long as Satan is running loose. Satan is behind all wars and mass-killings of humanity. And so it is today! 2nd Corinthians 4:4 identifies Satan as the god of this world's evil system. 1st Corinthians 10:26 teaches that the earth itself is the Lord's. Thank God that He is still on His throne and in control. God is a good God! We are so undeserving. There are 86,400 seconds in each day, have we thanked God with even one of them? We ought to thank God for every bite of food that goes into our mouth.
We are so close to the end. The Bible teaches that all of the world powers are now come and gone, a thing of the past. There won't be a revived Roman Empire. That teaching is NOT found in the Bible. There's no indication that Rome will be revived. The Bible teaches that the seventh world power will be a new power entirely, from which the Antichrist shall arise. The following article really does an excellent job explaining the truth behind Communist, Marxist, Zionism (which is the engine of World Government, aka, the New World Order).
The next prophetic event will be Christ's return at the Rapture, followed by a brief 7-year Tribulation, and then Christ's Second Coming to earth for the Battle Of Armageddon. Christ will be victorious and then set up His kingdom on earth, where He will reign literally from the throne of David in Jerusalem for 1,000 years (known as the Millennium).

(the truth behind the New World Order)Jesus Is The Foundation (The Chief Cornerstone) Of Christianity
Jesus Christ is the cornerstone which the builders set at nought. It's quite amazing if you think about it. 1st Corinthians 3:11 teaches that Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity.
Acts 4:11 and 1st Peter 2:7, “This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. ... Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.”
Any architect will tell you that the most fundamental principle of building a house is to make sure that the first stone is accurately set. This will be the cornerstone upon which all the others stones are built. If the first stone is crooked, then all the rest of the stones are going to be crooked. This illustrates the importance of a Christian education and also of having an accurate Bible. A crooked Bible like the New International Version or Good News For Modern Man is going to produce a crooked life in those who read it.
Jesus is the chief cornerstone my friend. Jesus is the only foundation upon which we ought to build our life. All others are sinking sand. The King James Bible is the only Bible you can trust in these perilous times. It hasn't been tampered with like all the others. Check and see which soul-winning churches are using the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible. The answer is NONE! It's the faithful King James Bible totin' Christians who are still standing strong for God, taking an uncompromising stand against evils in society today. Homosexuals hate the King James Bible, because it still calls them sodomites. The wicked change God's Word into a lie (Romans 1:25). The truth is still the truth, regardless of what the wicked say. Abortion is still murder, even if the wicked say it's not. Feminism is rebellion, even if the wicked say it's not.
Nationwide people are wondering what they can do about their broken marriages, broken lives and broken churches. God is not the problem friends, we are! God is still on His throne. God is a good God! There has never been a time like now to get right with God. When asked what he wanted from God, Solomon asked for wisdom. Solomon didn't ask for a new car, bigger home or a trophy wife. Solomon asked the Lord for understanding and wisdom. Youth in America today couldn't care less about wisdom. Kids today want to be like their idol singers, actors and athletes. Wisdom means nothing to kids today, because they are not taught to desire it. Children are highly impressionable and need to be trained up in the ways of the Lord. These poor kids today are being taught by Godless television, video games and public school to be losers, misfits, sex perverts, selfish and God-haters.
We all need to get right!!! May we all redeem the time, making use of each day to reach the lost for Christ with the Gospel. The way to get people saved is to preach to them THE GOSPEL (Romans 1:16; 1st Corinthians 15:1-4; Romans 10:15; Proverbs 11:30). Only what's done for Christ will last. All that we do for ourselves will pass. What are we doing for God in these last days? We are living in the feet and toes of Nebuchadnezzar's image. The Lord's return is ever so near. Are we praying faithfully to God without ceasing as the Lord commands (1st Thessalonians 5:17)? There's no doubt that a lot of genuine Christians are tired today, but Jesus encourages us in John 16:33 to BE OF GOOD CHEER!
Are you lonely friend, as I am often? Consider the precious words of our Lord and Savior, Who said that we are never alone because the Father is with us...
John 16:32-33, “Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
And now that Jesus has risen from the dead triumphant, He also has come to us in the form of the Holy Spirit...
John 14:18, “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
Amen, Jesus PROMISED to come to us. Isn't that precious and awesome? It is humbling to know that the very only begotten Son of God wants to come to be with me, to COMFORT me. That's what the Lord said... I will not leave you comfortless!!! I love the Holy Spirit (Who is God with us). If you feel lonely, then do as I do and pray, asking the Lord to draw near to our heart, claiming these wonderful promises. God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Jesus PROMISED to comfort us through His Spirit.
One spiritual truth that I have learned is that you cannot live on yesterday's manna. When the Israelites were fed by God in the Wilderness, He gave them manna (which the Bible calls angel's food in Psalms 78:24). That's interesting, evidencing that angels eat. Angels did appear in physical bodies throughout the Bible. Even the Lord ate in His resurrected body. Philippians 3:21 says that very believer's body will be transformed at the Rapture into a body fashioned like unto the Lord's. We will eat and drink in our new body. Amen to that. I believe that the Lord is going to give us all of our favorite foods, and we will share them with others (and they with us). Eating food will be a favorite activity in our eternal bodies. This is Biblical. Romans 8:32 teaches that God is going to give to us ALL THINGS. I can't wait!
But if you die in your sins without Christ, you will not enjoy the delights of anything (Luke 16:19-31). You will suffer the vengeance of an angry God for all eternity in the fires of Hell below (Romans 5:9; 2nd Thessalonians 1:8-9; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8). Religion cannot save you. Good works cannot save you. The water in some baptistry cannot save you. El Papa over in Rome (who calls himself father and dresses like a mother) and your Catholic priest cannot save you.
One of the saddest things I've ever heard is when Catholic priest John Corapi said his father came to him after 50-years of rejecting religion, to have his sins absolved by his son. What arrogance! No son can absolve his father's sins. Sadly, that dad is now burning in the fires of Hell. He learned too late that there is only one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1st Timothy 2:5, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” It's Jesus or Hell my friend, the choice is yours alone to make. Christ died, was buried and three days later arose from the dead. These three things are called THE GOSPEL according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4. If you receive the Gospel as payment for YOUR SINS, then you will be saved immediately, irrevocably and eternally.
Christ paid for our sins with His precious physical blood (1st Peter 1:18-19). Only Jesus' blood can wash away one's many grievous sins. No Lutheran minister or Catholic priest can cleanse away our filthiness and forgive our sins against God. By violating God's Laws, we have offended God. The penalty is the Lake of Fire forever. That probably sounds extreme and unfair, but it's only because we do not understand the holiness of God. God is more holy (morally perfect) than we could ever imagine. And so we must deal with God.
Thankfully, in His love and mercy God made a way of escape by sending His only begotten Son into this sin-cursed world to pay the price for mankind's iniquities. Jesus went to the cross and God the Father poured out His wrath upon His Son for our sins. The Father forsook His Son as part of our punishment which He took upon Himself. No matter how sinful you may be, God has never abandoned you. Luke 6:35 says that God is kind to the unthankful and to the evil. What a Scripture!!! God still feeds the mouths of blasphemers like Lady Gaga and Shakira. But I warn you, the second that you plunge into the fires of Hell beneath, you will be forsaken for the first time in your existence by the God Who kept you breathing and made you from the dust of the earth.
Who can argue that God made the human body and soul? It is a frightening indeed. I am so glad that I am on God's side. All the Lord asks of us is that we rely upon Him. Rely upon the cross to save you. Rely upon Jesus to help you from day-to-day. Rely upon the Word of God in the King James Bible for advice and guidance. Rely upon the Lord in constant prayer. Trust upon the Lord. Have faith in God. The Biblical way is to trust upon the Messiah, Jesus, the Christ, our God and Redeemer. Read this awesome Scripture that I found yesterday, which says that God is like no other because He PARDONETH INIQUITY...
Micah 7:18, “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. ”
That's a wonderful God worthy of our sincerest praises. And think, Hollywood blasphemes and curses the Lord all the time, making light of His suffering and spitting in His face. God the Father will tear them in pieces! Psalms 50:22, “Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.”
These Are Woeful Times Of Temptation And Sin
The Bible says in Daniel 7:25, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Bible foretold of the time when Satan would wear down the saints of God. The thing to do is abide in the Scriptures as Jesus Commanded in John 15:1-7. The Bible will keep us from sin, or else sin will keep us from the Bible. It's important to listen to red-hot, Christ-centered, Bible-preaching on a regular basis (Titus 1:3).
Everywhere we go in society today, perversion abounds. The music is vile and horrible. Morality is non-existent. Each generation is worse than the previous. Katy Perry is a teenage curse. She promotes immorality to young children and teen girls, turning them into whores and dancing bimbos. Perry openly promotes lesbianism, as does Lady Gaga. And she ain't no lady!!! I thought Led Zeppelin was of the Devil; but Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears make Led Zeppelin look like Sunday School teachers. Spears is infamous for her song, “I Ain't That Innocent” (and she's not). Tragically, Spears sings in the song's video to a young black girl about how they're going to “have a wicked time till the end.” See and hear the sicko for yourself... They Sold Their Souls For Rock 'N' Roll (thou hast sold thyself, 1st Kings 21:20). These evil women have sold-out to Satan!!! Why should God bless America?
Justin Bieber is the latest fad, promoting same-sex rights. NO ONE has a right to disobey God and pervert society. Having freedom is a reward for making moral decisions. When people start making immoral decisions, then they eventually forfeit their liberties. Liberty is a gift from God, which if abused and used as an occasion to sin will be lost. America is not as unique as everybody thinks. History bears witness to hundreds of thriving civilizations which eventually came to total ruin because of unrestrained immorality and social chaos. America is a modern-day Sodom, which God buried beneath millions of tons of molten lava. If you want proof that the Bible is God's inspired Word, then study the modern findings of Sodom and you'll be amazed. The sulfur from the area in the Dead Sea is not naturally occurring; but rather is 97% pure, which can only happen under intense heat (just like the Bible says). Remember, Sodom happened AFTER the flood of Noah's day, so the evidence still remains virtually untouched.
City Remains Of Sodom And Gomorrah Found Located Beneath Sea of Pure Sulfur
The wicked laugh at morality, making light of the Bible, scorning that which is holy and blaspheming God almighty!!! 2nd Peter 2:9 says that God has reserved them unto judgment! 2nd Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.” Their day is coming! Psalms 37:13, “The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.” The wicked will soon plunge into the fires of Hell. I am so glad that I'm on the winning side in Christ Jesus!!!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Revelation 22:20).
