Thematic Bible
Brass » Inferior in value to gold and silver
As for this statue, its head was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
After you will arise another kingdom (Medo-Persia) inferior to you, and then a third kingdom of bronze (Greece under Alexander the Great), which will rule over all the earth.
“Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
And instead of iron I will bring silver,
And instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
And [instead of the tyranny of the present] I will appoint peace as your officers,
And righteousness your rulers.
