Now in this vision of the image composed of four metals, the foundation of all Daniel's prophecies is laid. It represents a body of four great nations, which should reign over the earth successively, viz. The people of babylonia, the persians, the greeks, and the romans. And by a stone cut out without hands, which fell upon the feet of the image, and brake all the four metals to pieces, and became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth; it further represents that a new kingdom should arise, after the four, and conquer all those nations, and grow very great, and last to the end of all ages.
