Daniel 2:39-45

39And after you another kingdom will arise inferior to you, then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth. 40Then there will be a 1fourth kingdom as strong as iron; just as iron smashes and crushes everything, so, like iron that crushes, it will smash and crush all these things. 41And in that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have within it some of the toughness of iron, since you saw the iron mixed with 2common clay. 42And just as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong, and part of it will be fragile. 43In that you saw the iron mixed with 3common clay, they will combine with one another 4in 5their descendants; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not combine with pottery. 44And in the days of those kings the 6God of heaven will 7set up a 8kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be 9left for another people; it will 10crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever. 45Just as you saw that a 11stone was broken off from the mountain without hands, and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the 12great God has made known to the king what 13will take place 14in the future; so the dream is certain and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
