Colossians 1:13, “For He delivered us from the domain of
darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved
Son.” There are two kingdoms; the kingdom of God and the
kingdom of the devil. He said, “I translated you into the
kingdom of God.” He gives us a picture of that in Daniel 2.
Daniel 2 was that great dream of Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 2:19, 22 & 23, “Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel
in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven… It
is He who reveals the profound and the hidden things; He
knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.
To Thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for
Thou hast given me wisdom and power. Even now Thou hast
made known to me what we requested of Thee, for Thou hast
made known to us the king’s matter.”
Remember that Nebuchadnezzar said, “Tell me the
dream and the interpretation.” Daniel’s only hope was to call
on the Lord and he called on the Lord. Here is the dream.
Daniel 2:31-36, “You, O king, were looking and behold there
was a single great statue; that statue which was large and of
extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its
appearance was awesome. The head of that statue was made of
fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs
off bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of
clay. You continued looking until a stone was cut out without
hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and
crushed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and
the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff
from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them
away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that
struck them was found. But the stone that struck the statue
became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. This was
the dream; now we shall tell its interpretation before the king.”
It was a dream of a giant man. He had a head made out
of gold and he had shoulders that were made out of silver and
his middle were made out of bronze and his legs were made out
of iron and his feet were made out of clay and iron that were
mixed together, and as God interpreted that, He said, “That’s
