Daniel 7:23 (KJV)
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and

Therefore, after reading or hearing of these same Daniel prophecies we would have also most likely thought that these Empires (Babylon, Grecian and Roman) would have LITERALLY ruled the entire World as well. However, the reality is that they did NOT and history proves this. The prophecy of the King of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, declared that
“wheresoever the children of men would dwell,” that Nebuchadnezzar would RULE (not merely influence) over them. As the map of the Babylonian Empire below illustrates, this was never the case. Thus, Nebuchadnezzar reigned ONLY within the boundaries of his Empire and as such, the statement, '
wheresoever the children of men would dwell, that Nebuchadnezzar would reign over them.' must be understand as a FIGURE of SPEECH - a linguistic synecdoche.
