但以理書2 : 45上帝對尼布甲尼撤指明後來必有的事,
45你既看見非人手鑿出來的一塊石頭從山而出,打碎金、銀、銅、鐵、泥,那就是至大的神把「後來必有的事」給王指明。這夢準是這樣,這講解也是確實的。」
但以理書2 :35 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.
※而但以理書裹的異象是「指久遠以後的事」,從尼布甲尼撒的時期,經過所有異族的王朝,直到上帝的國在耶穌基督第一次來時降臨在地上(可1 : 15,路11 :20,羅14 :17)。
15說:「日期滿了,神的國近了。你們當悔改,信福音!」
20我若靠著神的能力趕鬼,這就是神的國臨到你們了。
17因為神的國不在乎吃喝,只在乎公義、和平,並聖靈中的喜樂。
