Daniel's Four Universal Kingdoms

Dan7PhotoDrama.jpg (14319 bytes)

   Daniel explained the dream, saying:

"Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

"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 of 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.

"This is the dream, and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

"Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
[There the Gentile kingdoms, or powers that be, were ordained of God.]

"And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

"And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee [silver], and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

"And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

"And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potter's clay and part of iron, the kingdom shall be mixed; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron: forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.

"And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle."

 Daniel says:

"I saw in my vision by night, and behold the four winds of heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

"The first was like
a lion and had eagle's wings;
...and behold another beast, a second, like a bear;.
..and lo another, like a leopard....

"After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth.

"It devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns." Daniel 7:2-7

     Watchman, tell us of the night--
          What its signs of promise are.
     Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height,
          See that glory-beaming star!
     Watchman, does its beauteous ray
          Ought of hope or joy foretell?
     Traveler, yes, it brings the day--
          Promised day of Israel.

     Watchman, tell us of the night--
          Higher yet that star ascends.
     Traveler, blessedness and light,
          Peace and truth its course portends.
     Watchman, will its beams alone
          Gild the spot that gave them birth?
     Traveler, ages are its own;
          See, its glory fills the earth.

     Watchman, tell us, does the morning
          Of fair Zion's glory dawn?
     Have the signs that mark its coming
          Yet upon thy pathway shown?
     Traveler, yes: arise! Look round thee!
          Light is breaking in the skies!
     Gird thy bridal robes around thee!
          Morning dawns! Arise! Arise!
