Earthly Kingdoms Crumble
36 “This was the dream. Now we will tell the king its interpretation. 37 You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory, 38 and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the children of man, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens, making you rule over them all—you are the head of gold. 39 Another kingdom inferior to you shall arise after you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth. 40 And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things. And like iron that crushes, it shall break and crush all these. 41 And as you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom, but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

Earthly Kingdoms Crumble
Daniel revealed Nebuchadnezzar’s dream: a mighty statue representing powerful kingdoms. Each would rise and fall, showing the fleeting nature of human rule. No empire, no matter how great, lasts forever. We see this truth in history and in our world today. Nations rise in power, only to crumble under their own weight. Human wisdom and strength cannot create a lasting kingdom. But Daniel’s vision was not just about earthly empires, it pointed to the eternal reign of Christ. Jesus, the King of kings, established His kingdom not with armies, but with His own blood on the cross. His reign is not built on power or wealth but on grace and truth. No kingdom of this world can stand against Him. While nations come and go, Christ’s kingdom remains forever. Lord, keep us from trusting in earthly power, and fix our eyes on Your eternal kingdom.
