Daniel 2:44-45
King James Version (KJV)
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the 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.
Daniel 2:44-45
Expanded Bible (EXB)
44 “During the ·time [L days] of those kings, the God of heaven will set up another kingdom that will never be destroyed [C the kingdom of God] or given to another group of people. This kingdom will crush all the other kingdoms and bring them to an end [v. 40], but it will ·continue [stand] forever.
45 “King Nebuchadnezzar, you saw a rock cut from a mountain, but ·no human being touched it [L not by hand]. The rock broke the iron, bronze, ·clay [or pottery; or terra cotta], silver, and gold to pieces. In this way the great God ·showed [made known to] you what will happen. The dream is ·true [certain], and you can trust this ·explanation [interpretation].”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
44 Jesus set His empire it is called the church. No one and empire have been able to defeat the church. Rome tried and years later they had to embrace what they could not defeat. When Jesus returns the kingdom will be on the earth and be stronger than any other kingdom because it will have the perfect King, Jesus Christ. He came to die but He returns to reign.
45 All these kingdoms have fallen but Christ will be lifted up to His throne. God had allowed these kingdoms for a time but the time will come when His kingdom comes.
