Re: Daniel 2, when was the "everlasting kingdom, which shall never be destroyed," but rather, "shall stand for ever," established?
Daniel 2 (Peshitta Tanakh, Lamsa translation), http://superbook.org/LAMSA/DAN/dan2.htm
34 Then you saw that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.
35 Then the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold were all broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors;
and a strong wind carried them away so that no place was found for them;
and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 This is the dream;
now I will tell its interpretation before the king. ....
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up an everlasting kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and bring to an end all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
45 Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold;
the great God has made known to you what shall come to pass in the latter days.
The dream is true, and its interpretation is sure.
Targum Genesis, http://targum.info/onk/Gen47_50.htm
Jehuda, thou art praise and not shame;
thy brethren shall praise thee;[11]
thy hand shall prevail against thine adversaries,
thine enemies shall be dispersed;
they will be turned backward before thee,
and the sons of thy father will come before thee with salutations.
The dominion shall be (thine) in the beginning,
and in the end the kingdom shall be increased from the house of Jehuda,
because from the judgment of death, my son, hast thou withdrawn.[12]
He shall repose, and abide in strength as a lion, and as a lioness,
there shall be no king that may cut him off.
*He who exerciseth dominion shall not pass away from the house of Jehuda,*
nor the saphra from his children's children for ever,
*until the Meshiha come, whose is the kingdom,*
*and unto whom shall be the obedience of the nations* (or, whom the peoples shall obey).
Israel shall pass round about in his cities;
*the people shall build his temple,*
*they will be righteous round about him,*
*and be doers of the law through his doctrine.*
*Of goodly purple will be his raiment,*
*and his vesture of crimson wool with colours.[13]*
His mountains shall be red with his vineyards,
and his hills be dropping with wine;
his valleys shall be white with corn,
and with flocks of sheep.
[11] Sam. Vers. "love thee."
[12] Or, "gone up."
[13] Or, "wool dyed bright with colours."
