Nebuchadnezzar's dream of the statue

God revealed Nebuchadnezzar's forgotten dream and its meaning to Daniel. The statue represented successive kingdoms, but a stone cut without hands struck it and became a mountain filling the earth, picturing a kingdom God would establish forever (Daniel 2:31-45).

undated in Scripture

Nebuchadnezzar's second year; early in Daniel's service

📖 Daniel 2:1–3

1In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit, and sleep escaped him. 2So the king gave orders to summon the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to explain his dreams. When they came and stood before the king, 3he said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand it.”
