    Around 15 - 70 AD or so it has been suggested that Rome was divided into ten senatorial provinces which some say correspond to "ten toes". The map shows allegedly the Roman empire around 117 AD not around 1 AD to 70 AD. Another source might suggest the ten (Diadochi) to have been as follows: Italy, Achaia, Asia, Syria, Egypt, Africa, Germany, Spain, Gaul and Britain. Some might even suggest that the ten were only specifically in regard to ten provinces on 'earth' with a meaning from a local perspective.

    For any who might be mind-fogged by Cyrus Scofield Kool-Aid, according to Daniel 2 (ESV):

    4 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, 45 just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold.
    Note "in the days of those kings" (does not necessarily say '2,000 years after the days of those kings'). And *ahem* perhaps the temple not made with hands might correspond to the stone that was cut from a mountain by no human hand.

    Does 2 Corinthians 5 have anything to do with this?

    For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. 2 Corinthians 5:1
    I imagine that it could be read from a 33 AD perspective.
