CHRIST'S KINGDOM AN EVER-INCREASING AND CONQUERING STONE
Daniel 2
"O king, you saw…a great image [depicting four successive kingdoms]…. You kept on looking, until a Stone was cut out, without hands. This smote the image upon its iron-and-clay feet, and broke them into pieces…. And the Stone Which smote the image, became a great Mountain and filled the Earth….And in the days of these kingdoms, the God of Heaven shall set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And that Kingdom shall not be left to other people. But It shall break into pieces and consume all these kingdoms. Yet It, shall keep on standing for ever."1746
