What happens to the stone in Daniel after it destroys the image?

In Daniel's prophecy, the stone that smites the image becomes a great mountain or a great kingdom that fills the whole earth. This is not a kingdom in heaven but an earthly kingdom, for the stone is the returning Christ, whose kingdom fills the earth.

Les explains that the stone that smote the image is the returning Christ, and it becomes a great mountain or a great kingdom that fills the whole earth. He stresses that this is not a kingdom in heaven but a kingdom on earth. This fits the flow of Daniel's prophecy: the empires come and go, and everything moves from start to finish with no hint of a 1900-and-some-year intervention of the church age. The prophecy runs straight down the line, and the stone's kingdom fills the whole earth.

Daniel 2:35

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
