Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

In this story, we are told of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a large statue that represents kingdoms to come. While some have speculated as to which historical kingdoms this dream refers to, it can also refer to how our thoughts can devolve into selfishness. God saves us with His truth - the uncut stone - that smashes this statue.

Mark 1:23-28
23
Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24
saying, "Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"
25
Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"
26
The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27
They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!"
28
The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
