45
According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful.
The book of Daniel follows after Ezekiel in the Old Testament. Daniel was a prophet during the early part of the captivity of the Jews in Babylon. (His Babylonian name, given to him by King Nebuchadnezzar, was Belteshazzar.) The first half of the Book of Daniel tells the story of Daniel and three friends, and then Daniel’s rise to prominence under Kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius. The second half is prophecy. In the internal sense of the Word, Daniel represents the Lord at His advent. Daniel's captivity, and the actions of the Babylonian kings that he interacts with, show the state of the Israelitish church at that time.
