What we need are a bunch of volcanos in Afars to blow up and put them all in a Dark Age (as if they'd notice). Then the Christians can go marching about.
I think these prophecies apply to different people in a different time.
“Arabs recovered first and came marching out with Islam (that same 535 - 541 period).”
IIRC, the Year One in Islam was 622 A.D. when Mohammed made his hijra from Mecca to Medina (he died in 632 A.D.). The Muslim conquest of the Arabian peninsula and the Middle East took place over the following hundred years.
If Islam is part of God’s punishment, wouldn’t that mean that Islam was created by God to do His bidding?
