"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.

It represents the kingdom of God.
However, what of the “mountain” out of which this Kingdom “stone” is cut? (Daniel 2:45) The “stone” must be dependent on, and be made of the same stuff as the mountain, and indeed it is. This Kingdom rulership is cut out from the all-embracing, overall sovereignty of the King of eternity—Jehovah God. Just as the universal sovereignty of Jehovah reflects all of his fine qualities, so the kingdom that is cut out of that sovereignty must exalt Jehovah God and his grand purposes. It sanctifies his name by crushing his enemies, showing that he is not a party to their wicked deeds. Then this kingdom by Christ Jesus fills the earth with law and order, and with love and joy, transforming it into the righteous, peaceful place that God purposed from the beginning. Truly, we should be praying for ‘the Kingdom to come’!—Psalm 85:8-12.

it quite is the return of Christ and he will set up his new kingdom. After Babylon=(head of Gold),or the Lion, Medo-Persia=(chest and hands)or submit to, Greece=(thighs of brass), or Leopard and Rome= (legs of Iron), or The fourth Beast. the ten feet signify the ten countries that the western Roman empire divided into. Anglo Saxons, Franks, Alemanni, Lombards, Ostrogoths, Heruli, Burgundians, Suevi, Visigoths and the Vandals. Dan 2:40-one And while thou sawest the ft and feet, area of potters' clay, and area of iron, the dominion would be divided; yet there will be in it of the ability of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron blended with miry clay. Dan 2:40 two and since the feet of the ft have been area of iron, and area of clay, so the dominion would be partly reliable, and partly broken. God stated that there grow to be no longer likely to be yet another worldwide empire. So the Rock is God and his eternal Kingdom. Dan 2:40 4 And interior the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall in no way be destroyed: and the dominion shall no longer be left to people, although if it shall injury in products and devour those varieties of kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Figurative Use. Anointed Christians on earth are likened to a temple, Jesus Christ being its “foundation cornerstone.” (See CORNERSTONE.) Upon this “foundation cornerstone,” the spirit-begotten followers of Christ “as living stones are being built up a spiritual house.” The Jewish religious leaders, as national “builders,” rejected Jesus as “the chief cornerstone,” stumbling over this stone because they were disobedient to God’s Word.—Eph 2:19-22; 1Pe 2:4-8; Mt 21:42; Mr 12:10; Lu 20:17; Ro 9:32, 33.
God’s Kingdom is likened to a stone “cut out not by hands,” a stone that will crush and put an end to all other kingdoms. This Kingdom will itself stand “to times indefinite.”—Da 2:34, 44, 45.
At Revelation 2:17, the glorified Christ Jesus promises concerning the Christian conqueror: “I will give him a white pebble [“stone,” KJ], and upon the pebble a new name written which no one knows except the one receiving it.” The word “pebble” here translates the Greek word pse′phon. The apostle Paul uses the word when he recounts his former persecution of Christians, saying: “I cast my vote [pse′phon; literally, (voting) pebble] against them.” (Ac 26:10) Pebbles were used in courts of justice in rendering judgment or voicing an opinion of either innocence or guilt. White pebbles were used for pronouncing innocence, acquittal; black ones for pronouncing guilt, condemnation. The white pebble given to the conqueror therefore appears to mean Jesus’ judgment of him as innocent, pure, clean, passing Christ’s approval as a disciple.

Why do you think the stone is a "who"? All the rest are Kingdoms, not kings.
