What is statue in the book of daniel?

In the Book of Daniel, there is a famous statue made up of different materials that represents different kingdoms or empires. The statue was seen in a dream by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and interpreted by Daniel. The statue was made up of four parts:

1. Head of gold: Representing Babylon, the most powerful and wealthy empire at the time.
2. Chest and arms of silver: Representing Media and Persia, the next empire to conquer Babylon.
3. Belly and thighs of bronze: Representing Greece, which would conquer Media and Persia.
4. Legs of iron, and feet partly of iron and partly of clay: Representing Rome, the longest-lasting empire of all.

The statue was seen as a warning about the rise and fall of empires, and how only God's kingdom would be everlasting. The story also includes the famous image of a stone cut without hands that smashes the statue, representing the end of all earthly kingdoms and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom.
