Next case.
Additionally, there are several schools of thought as to the identities of these four kingdoms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_kingdoms_of_Daniel
"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." (Daniel 2:44) This never came to pass. The alleged statue prophecy is, therefore, bogus. Next case.
