This sermon picks up in Daniel 2 and unpacks the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s image—Babylon (gold), Medo-Persia (silver), Greece (bronze), Rome (iron), and the final divided kingdom of iron mixed with clay and ten toes—showing how world history has fulfilled this prophecy and why we are now living in the “time of the toes.” The pastor explains how each successive empire declines in value yet hardens in character, illustrating the moral deterioration of humanity as it moves toward a final global system opposed to God. Against that backdrop, he calls believers to follow Daniel and his friends in refusing compromise, trusting that the God who judges nations also protects His people while we wait for the stone “cut without hands” to crush human kingdoms and establish Christ’s everlasting rule.
