Brecken,
That the kingdom to come after those kingdoms, will break the previous kingoms, and last forever. Isn't that what it says to you?

It is speaking of the body of Christ, or the Church of Christ. Without a doubt the ONLY ETERNAL kingdom is one which is spiritual. No physical kingdom will last forever. They all fall sooner or later. Jesus taught His kingdom was eternal, that He was the Head of this kingdom, and that people with Him at that time would see it come "with power." It did on the Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem. Peter preached to the Jews the gospel and opened the doors (remember the keys were given to Peter) of the Kingdom to them. Later, he was commanded to go to the house of Cornelius and preach to him, a gentile, and once again, that same power decended upon Cornelius and his family, signifying the approval for them to enter into the kingdom just as many Jews had already done. Peter again used those keys. The doors to the kingdom have been open since. This is what the reference in Daniel is speaking of...the Eternal Kingdom of God, the children or church..
There is also another passage about Jesus being that piece of stone taken from the side of the mountain and it grows and consumes the whole world....that would be His kingdom, or Christianity.
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.

44-45 "But throughout the history of these kingdoms, the God of heaven will be building a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will this kingdom ever fall under the domination of another. In the end it will crush the other kingdoms and finish them off and come through it all standing strong and eternal. It will be like the stone cut from the mountain by the invisible hand that crushed the iron, the bronze, the ceramic, the silver, and the gold.
"The great God has let the king know what will happen in the years to come. This is an accurate telling of the dream, and the interpretation is also accurate."

“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.” What does this tell us about God’s Kingdom?
First, it tells us that God’s Kingdom was to be established “in the days of those kings,” or while other kingdoms still existed. Second, it tells us that the Kingdom will last forever. It will not be conquered and be replaced by some other government. Third, we see that there will be war between God’s Kingdom and the kingdoms of this world. God’s Kingdom will be victorious. In the end, it will be the only government over mankind. Then humans will enjoy the best rulership they have ever known.

44 “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite...
It means that the true god(Jehovah) is going to have a kingdom...that he himself had established...when it says he will crush and put and end to all these kingdoms...basically hes going to rid the world of wickedness as we know it today...true christians share the hope of being in his new kingdom...

I believe that it means that, in the end of time, God will create a kingdom that will never fall. This will be the kingdom that Christians will call home, forever.

That refers to The Kingdom that God will establish at the second comming of Christ.

An interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Of course, Nebbie was insane and his closest advisors were astrologers and sorcerors, so I'm not sure that any real meaning should be derived from this passage.
