Daniel 2: The Uncut Stone Fills the Whole Earth

Here's another exercise to ask yourself if your understanding of the timing of Jesus' Kingdom is in harmony with the Scriptures or if it is being directed by a traditional system.

This passage below is from Daniel chapter 2 where Daniel is interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream that he had concerning a massive man-like image composed of many different metals. Without going too indepth into all the symbolism surrounding this passage below, let me state briefly that it is a basic, uncontested conclusion that the "iron and clay" feet is the Roman empire, and the "uncut stone" is Jesus.  

"You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.
     This image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.
    You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
     This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king....(vss 31-36)

 "Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. 

     And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.  Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”  (vss 41, 44-45)

With that, ask yourself three questions:

1)  When does this passage state that the Stone cut without hands begins to grow and fill the Earth? 

    -- Immediately?  

    -- After awhile?

    -- Never?

2) What is the result of that growth?

    -- Defeat?

    -- Ongoing, unending obstruction and gridlock?

    -- Progressive, uninterrupted victory?

3) Do you believe what it says when is states, "in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." ?
If not, why?
