Daniel 2:40

The fourth kingdom will be strong like iron. Just as iron destroys and breaks everything [in its path, being the hardest of these metals], this kingdom will crush like iron, stamp and break [all other kingdoms]. [Five synonyms are used to describe the power of this fourth kingdom. It will destroy, smash, crush, trample, and break everything in its path.]
[In 65 BC, the Roman general Pompey defeated Syria, and in 30 BC, Augustus had defeated Egypt and taken over Jerusalem. The value of the metals in the vision decreases. This corresponds to how the emperor's power in the Roman Empire was weaker than in previous kingdoms. Iron, on the other hand, is the hardest, which corresponds to how its military strength was the strongest.]
