Divisions of the Fourth Kingdom Reveal Internal Struggles

Scripture indicates that there exists a fourth kingdom, described as strong as iron, which references the Roman Empire. This kingdom is characterized by internal divides and political instability despite its outward appearance of power. Notably, the text does not suggest the existence of additional kingdoms beyond the fourth, emphasizing that the Roman Empire experienced significant civil strife and fragmentation, such as the well-documented division between the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. Furthermore, a prophetic stone, representing divine intervention, destroys the kingdom's divided structure, highlighting that this transformative event does not correspond to any rise from European contexts, including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
