What kind of kingdom will God set up in Daniel 2:44?
The God of heaven will set up a kingdom on the earth that shall never be destroyed. It is the same earthly kingdom Scripture calls the millennium, a thousand-year rule and reign, and after great turmoil the new heaven and new earth come with the same circumstances.
Les explains that Daniel 2:44 places this in the days of these kings, when the ten nations of Western Europe, headed by the Antichrist, have run their seven-year course. Then the God of heaven sets up the kingdom He has been talking about from day one—a kingdom on the earth that shall never be destroyed. Revelation puts a time element on it: a thousand years, so it is called the millennium. Les notes that this thousand-year rule and reign will end through the providential acts of a sovereign God and great turmoil, but when the new earth and new heaven come on the scene, it will be the same set of circumstances seen in that thousand years.
