It is thought that the last of these kingdoms represents some kind of resurrection of the ancient [[Roman Empire]], a combination of ten [[European]] states (European because the ancient [[Roman Empire]] was a European empire) and a confederation of ten states because they are represented by the ten toes of the image. That Daniel’s fourth kingdom is Rome - a modern-day revival of the ancient Roman Empire - linked to the Roman church is supported by [[Book of Revelation|Revelation]] 17:9 which calls to mind the fabled "seven hills of Rome".

God’s kingdom destroys and immediately replaces the kingdom of [[the Beast]] as indicated in Daniel 2:34 ("As you looked a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet ..."). A graphic representation of this scenario exists in the geography of the Italian Peninsular - where the Roman Empire was located - appearing as one of the legs of Nebuchadnezzar’s image (the western Roman Empire). At the foot of the Italian Peninsular the island of [[Sicily]] points towards the "toes" of this peninsular, ready to strike it as prophecy indicates.
