The Great Statue of Nebuchadnezzar
Nebuchadnezzar had a dream about a giant statue and it gets pulverized by the stone cut out of the mountain. Now notice again the dimensions. Three score cubits is 90 feet tall. Can you picture it like a nine story building in the ancient world? You thought the hanging gardens of Babylon were tall. And this thing is only six cubits wide. So that's nine feet, which seems like massive for a statue. But the proportions are ten to one. It would take a massive amount of effort to make sure you could keep propping this thing up. Sound like Babylon to you? Sound like easy prey for a stone cut out without hands.
