The Middle East is still starring in Bible prophecy
Many Bible scholars have made a mistake in explaining end time prophecies. They have concluded that in the last days, the Roman Empire will be revived.Because of this, they have looked at the present European alliance of countries to eventually represent the regions to be ruled by the 10 kings seen in Revelation 17 and Daniel 7. In Daniel 2, the kings are represented by the 10 toes of the image in Daniel's vision.
The mentioned mistake has probably occurred because the scholars did not take into account that the fourth kingdom in Daniel 2, refers to the Last days, and not to the Roman Empire. (That came to prominence historically after Alexander the Great's empire.)
This brings up a key point in understanding biblical prophecies, which is: God is not obligated to mention everyone, everywhere and everything when he gives prophecies.
