II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay." Daniel 2:31-33
Now listen carefully you little ones and dumb: it was foretold unto the "head of gold" that the stone cut out of a mountain without hands, should fall on the feet of end-time kingdoms to utterly destroy; THEN grow to fill entire earth. THAT is the destiny of world society, and especially unto this generation. But now hold your breath:
It is even YOUR destiny!
Not merely to live to see these prophecies fulfill, but also within and unto yourself. Behold the analysis:
I cease not to warn you that as God deals with nations, so does He unto the individual! YOU must subdue and kick out the "head of gold" which is PRIDE in possessions and intellect. The silver stands for personality and the arts. Perhaps you are more "cultured" and better able to mix? Is that to be your stumbling block? The Bronze is education, business acumen, success, the body and hence sex. While iron is power, the sciences and dominance. The clay is Law.
Any or all of these may lead to your complete destruction, that neither body nor name shall have its place among the sons of men when the massive Stone strikes the "image."
(Worship not the "image.")
