A resurgent Iran (Persia) and Turkey (Ottoman Empire)......thoughts?

I recently heard Turkey is attempting to quietly push it's borders back out to pre-WWI areas of control. Can anyone with more intelligence than I (which include 99.9% of anyone here) please show how this could impact/confirm prophecy? Very curious.

I mean on the spiritual level not the materialistic level. How might this fit in with prophecy?

hello daninthelionsden, dirtfarmer here

It is my belief that "the revived Roman empire" spoken of in prophecy, with 10 nations, will be the eastern division of the Roman empire, not the western division of the Roman empire. The study of the empire that Constantine ruled with Constantinople as it capitol is an interesting study.

If you want a deeper study into the revived Roman Empire feed this into a search engine..

How many Caesars held the title Pontifex Maximus

It doesn't impact or confirm prophecy. Turkey is not the Ottoman Empire, and neither are part of biblical prophecy. Take a look at a map of the Ottoman Empire and think about how Turkey could possibly ever assume control over such an area. Not a chance. The mistaken idea that Iran is somehow a reborn Persian Empire runs into the same problem.

How many Pontifex Maximus' held the title of Caesar? Tsar? Kaiser?
When Jesus says 'Behold, I make all things new' He is not kidding. He has even redeemed the title 'Pontifex Maximus'.
 
The reason I'm focusing on Turkey is that I heard through a Christian that he felt the anti-Christ would be muslim and that he would be ruling from a revived Ottoman empire. He pointed out a speech Obama made calling on Turkey to resume its historical leadership role among the Islamic nations. It just seemed a little beyond coincidence that Turkey is trying now to do just that.

Check out Walid Shoebat. Many say he is a fraud, but I find his teachings do have some interesting ideas.

Christians say all kinds of stuff. Turkey's historical leadership role among muslim peoples is as an example of a secular government rather than islamic. Unfortunately Turkey has been regressing in this area under the islamic personality cult of Erdogan.
