“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever." - Daniel 2:44
Of course you have heard of Deja 'Vu. The belief that you have seen an unfolding event before, as if you had already lived through it. It's weird and somewhat scary at times, depending on the circumstances. It could be casual things like walking into the living room, sitting down and picking up a child to read a story. When it is happening your mind immediately recognizes that you have already experienced this, even though the current physical act is a first time occurrence. Maybe it's just me, but I believe it has happened to everyone at one time or another. (love to hear your stories some time....).
Well, this prophecy by Daniel is actually part of an interpretation of a visionary dream of King Nebuchadnezzar’s that established God as Lord of all in the King's eyes. The interpretation portraits four monarchies (Kings) that will emerge: Assyrians, Persians, Macedonians and Romans. The Romans destroying the other three over time. While these kings are still in power God will send His Messiah and establish the kingdom that will rule forever.
In Luke 1:33 we see the angel describing the Christ child to Mary as: "he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." This to describe the child she would carry and bring into the world. At that very point God makes His declaration of who the person of Jesus Christ is, and in doing so fulfill's the prophetic words of Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar. All Kings and rulers will one day bow down to Christ in His Kingdom
