text: Christian Reconstructionists and Full Preterists believe that Daniel is completely fulfilled, and that the believers are now working to establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
  Two main schools of thought on the four kingdoms of Daniel, are:
  the traditionalist view, supporting the conflation of Medo-Persia and identifying the last kingdom as the Roman Empire.
  the Maccabean thesis, a view that supports the separation of the Medes from the Persians and identifies the last kingdom as the Seleucid Empire.
  Roman Empire schema
  The following interpretation represents a traditional view of Jewish and Christian Historicists, Futurists, Dispensationalists, Partial Preterists, and other futuristic Jewish and Christian hybrids, as well as certain Messianic Jews, who typically identify the kingdoms in Daniel (with variations) as:
  the Babylonian Empire
  the Medo-Persian Empire
  the Greek Empire
  the Roman Empire, with other implications to come later
  Jerome (c.  347–420) described this scheme in his Commentary on Daniel. Within this framework there are numerous variations.
  Use with the Book of Revelation
  Christian interpreters typically read the Book of Daniel along with the New Testament's Book of Revelation. The Church Fathers interpreted the beast in Revelation 13 as the empire of Rome. The majority of modern scholarly commentators understand the "city on seven hills" in Revelation as a reference to Rome.
