Daniel 7:19

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
17

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

18

But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

19

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;

20

And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

While the verse uses "devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped," these actions are attributed to a symbolic beast and are not explicitly stated to be directed at the wicked as a theological principle, nor are they clearly about the fate of people.

Daniel's Four Beasts

The verse describes only the fourth beast in detail, not the other three, and does not explicitly state that this fourth beast is part of a series of "four great beasts" or that it represents Rome.

The Image of Daniel 2

This verse describes a beast with iron teeth and brass nails, but it does not explicitly mention the metallic image from Daniel 2, nor does it directly connect the beast's characteristics to specific empires in the same way the image does.

The Little Horn of Daniel 7

This verse describes the fourth beast itself, detailing its general characteristics of dreadfulness, iron teeth, and brass nails, and its destructive actions. It makes no mention of a "little horn" or any specific entity rising from within or among the beast's horns.
