The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Tijuana, Mexico, unveiled a sculpture representing King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream as described in Daniel 2 during a special art expo event last month at the “Casa de las Flores” center in the Xochicalco University in Tijuana, Baja California. The 4.5 meter-high statue, which included the four imperial governments of ancient Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grece and Rome, was created by Alfonso López.

Pastor Hugo Morales of El Florido district in Tijuana said the church had an opportunity to alert people about the end-time prophecy. “We see the needs around us today, and this work was created as a way of sharing the Soon Coming of Jesus with the people in the community.”

Many painters, sculptors and other artists, exhibited their work during the “Expo Artesanal”, an event which included workshops on photography, serigraphy, literature, textile designs, ecology, and fashion, among others. With this the Seventh-day Adventist Church points to the message of salvation, church leaders said.

“Today, according to prophecy, the world lives moments before destruction, as when the rock hits the feet of the image in King Nebuchadnezer’s dream,” said Pastor Fernando Meza, president of the church in the Baja California Conference. At the unveiling, church leaders invited onlookers to find out more about the final times in the history of the earth prophecy referred to in the statue by visiting tiempobc.com
