THE FOURTH KINGDOM ON EARTH
ABSOLUTELY WAS   NOT   ROME

Based on what most folks have been TAUGHT about the identity of the fourth kingdom (the one GOD has vowed to utterly Destroy with an all consuming fire):  They believe the 2nd kingdom mentioned in Daniel was the Medo-Persian empire; The 3rd kingdom was Greece;  And that, the 4th kingdom was ROME.
.
Well,  according to The Word Of God Almighty:  The above just isn't so.
.
Whereas:  Pursuant to Revelation 19:3 the smoke from the burning of the fourth kingdom will rise up forever, and ever;  (also see Revelation 9:2, 14:11, 18:9, and 18:18)
.
However, no one who believes that  ROME, or any other kingdom or nation from the past was the subject fourth kingdom, can show me the pillar of smoke that is rising up forever and ever from the 4th kingdom's burning!
.
Moreover:  Pursuant to Daniel 2:44: During the End Times of the fourth kingdom on earth, The Lord Of Hosts will establish a Kingdom on earth; And, pursuant to Daniel 7:11-14, our Lord Jesus will Reign over it.
.
And still, no one who believes that  ROME, or any other kingdom or nation from the past was the subject fourth kingdom, can show me the Kingdom that our Lord Jesus has established on earth, over which Jesus has reigned with an iron rod for one thousand years!
.
And, since The Lord used Revelation 21 to Proclaim that, at the END of Jesus 1000 year Reign, He will Create all new things, to include a new earth;  And since ROME  has been gone for well OVER 1000 years: These same folks should surely be able to show us the new Earth that Almighty God has Created.
.
But the bare and obvious fact is, THEY  CANNOT !
.
Moreover, none of them can provide so much as one single SCRIPTURE to support their claims that ANY nation other than AMERICA  is the fourth kingdom mentioned in the Book of Daniel.
.
Instead of arguing about it, let's allow GOD ALMIGHTY to settle it, because HE has very clearly Spoken Out concerning people who believe the subject false doctrine. To wit:
.
"This evil people, which refuse to hear My Words, and instead, walk in the imagination of their own false doctrines; Who walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them; Will, in the final days, be worth less than nothing to Me."  (also see Jeremiah 13:10)
.
"Therefore, said The Lord Of Hosts, concerning teachers and prophets who teach and prophesy false doctrines: "I sent them not, yet they say the Destruction and famine I promised shall not effect their land!  Therefore by way of My Destruction, and My Famine, shall those teachers and prophets themselves be consumed. And the people TO WHOM they teach and prophesy shall be cast out in the streets because of the Destruction and Famine I promised; and they shall have no one to bury them.  Neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters:  For I will also pour out their TEACHER'S  wickedness upon they themselves.  (also Jeremiah 14:15-16)
.
"You've forsaken me, said The Lord! You have gone backward! Therefore I will stretch out my hand and destroy you; I'm tired of your false promises to repent."  (also see Jer. 15:6)
.
Thus, Said The Lord Of Hosts, And, said our Lord Jesus, the Risen Christ, ...TO ALL OF US !
.
"Woe to those (missionaries) who traverse the sea and land to make converts; Because, through false doctrines they make their converts twice the child of hell, as they are themselves."  (Matthew 23:15)
.
Jesus answered the Pharisees, and said to them:  "Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me."  (Mark 7:6)
.
(For those who will claim that Jesus' statements were directed to the Pharisees:  Surely you're not going to claim that the Pharisees worshipped Jesus!!)
.
"IN VAIN they worship Him (Jesus), teaching as doctrine, the commandments of men."  (Mark 7:7)
.
For the record, IN VAIN means that it won't do THEM any good to worship Jesus!
.
"Laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men..."  (also see Mark 7:8)
.
"And he said to them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."  (Mark 7:9)
.
I hope this helps.
