What Does Daniel 2:45 Mean?
Daniel concludes by returning to the stone cut from the mountain without hands, which shattered all the metals of the statue. He affirms that the great God has made known what shall come to pass, and that the dream is certain and its interpretation sure.
Twice he underlines its reliability: certain and sure. What God has spoken will surely come. The stone that needs no human hand points to a deliverance that is entirely God's work. Believers read here the steady confidence of all prophecy: heaven's word does not fail, and the kingdom of God, established by His own power, will most certainly come.
