Standard Dispensational eschatology identifies the revived Roman Empire of end times as the current nations located in the ancient Roman area of control. Most are European.

Think Walvoord, Ep, Scholfield, Chafer, authors like LaHaye,and Lindsey.

hfr, thank you. One other concern. In Daniel ch 9 we find that the man of sin comes from those who destroy the city (Jerusalem) and the sactuary (the Temple). In my opinionin it is easy to see that this would be an individual from the old Romand empire.

In Psalms 83, there are 10 designations mentioned, some of them are countries, for example Moab, some are ethnic groups example Ishmaelites. How does one make the theological connection between the man of sin (coming from the old roman empire) and these 10 people groups/geographical areas located in the middle east?
