Thank you.
As to your second explanation, which I believe is said as the kingdom mentioned is the only kingdom that will never be destroyed.
OK, is that from a univerally accepted factual point of view or is that from the writer's perception of the fact as he sees as? I think it is the latter.

Well it is impossible to say for a fact, isn't it, no-one can fortell the future.

What a lesson I have learned from this thread!
I'm taught to recite "have got a headache/stomachache" as phrases, and never thought the plurals of these words also apply.
And the google results reveal "stomachaches" and "headaches" are far more often used than "a stomachache" & "a headache"

The plural can be used if
you are talking about more than one person with a headache/stomachache
or
if you suffer from them often you can say something like 'I keep getting headaches' or 'I get a lot of headaches'.
