The Mountain ( Daniel 2 )

In Daniel chapter two, we read about a stone that grows into a mountain, in this post we will explore the question of what could this mountain represent. (Daniel 2:35)

There is no doubt that mountains in Scripture are of special importance and the discussion on that subject could go in so many directions, however we will focus on one specific meaning. This particular mountain represents the Kingdom of God that will ultimately replace all kingdoms of man.

We find in the book of Revelation a declaration that “heads” (representing governments) are “mountains” that come and go over time. (Revelation 17:9) A deep dive into this particular chapter will reveal a connection between the entities and events described here (in Revelation) and the interpreted dream of Daniel chapter two. Different imagery but the same message: man’s kingdoms finally conquered by God’s Kingdom.

Psalm 48:1; … in the mountain of his holiness.
