What is a statue in The Bible?

Answer 1

This depends on what the REAL question is. 1. If it is "is any statue not allowed, since it is an idol?", this is a little above my pay grade. My OPINION is that a statue of some of war hero is not an idol, because it is not meant to represent a god that is to be worshipped. 2. If it is "what did the statues look like?", there are some ancient clues of what they looked like. Jewish statues were rare, but the statues were likely similar to cultures around them. 3. If it is "what does the Statue Prophecy in Daniel mean?", it is a prophecy of the rise and fall of five empires before the end times. Four of the five have already fallen, so we are waiting on the fifth and final one. 4. If it is "there is a HUGE statue listed in Daniel, could this be real?", most scholars believe that the statue size included the base pillar it was standing on. So the Statue was still big, but the height included the pillar. However, it is possible with ancient technology to make huge statues. Rhodes and Rome both had statues that were over 30 meters tall (About as tall as the Statue of Liberty). I hope this has helped.
