Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 2:45

_ _ without hands — (See on Daniel 2:35). The connection of the “forasmuch,” etc. is, “as thou sawest that the stone,” etc., this is an indication that “the great God,” etc., that is, the fact of thy seeing the dreams as I have recalled it to thy recollection, is a proof that it is no airy phantom, but a real representation to these from God of the future. A similar proof of the “certainty” of the event was given to Pharaoh by the doubling of his dream (Genesis 41:32).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 2:31-45.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 2:45

And the gold — This denotes the small beginning of Christ's visible kingdom, and the different rise of Christ from all other; his conception by the Holy Ghost, without father and mother, respectively as to his two natures. This stone, falling from the mountain, brake the image in pieces; for Christ is a stone that grinds to powder those it falls on: and he is a growing stone even to a mountain, and therefore will fill the earth.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Daniel 2:45

Forasmuch as thou sawest that the (a) stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

(a) Meaning Christ, who was sent by God, and not set up by man, whose kingdom at the beginning would be small and without beauty to man's judgment, but would at length grow and fill the whole earth, which he calls a great mountain, as in (Daniel 2:35). And this kingdom, which is not only referred to the person of Christ, but also to the whole body of his Church, and to every member of it, will be eternal: for the Spirit that is in them is eternal life; (Romans 8:10).
