Here's something quite relevant!

The shape of the locusts

First you need a map of the Middle East, here's one.

Print, then rotate the map 90 degrees so that west becomes north, in a sense.

Revelation 9

7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

1. Horses prepared for battle, Turkey is the rider with an upraised arm.

2. Crowns of gold, Sinai

3. Faces of men, Jordan

4. Women's hair, Lebanon

5. Lions teeth, Jordan

6. Breastplates of iron, Iraq

7. Wings, Iraq

8. Tails like scorpions, Somalia and the UAE

Also, See: Amos 7:1
This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the second crop was coming up.

Second crop, ie the revived Ottoman Empire. Psalm 110:1
Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

Ottoman, it's an empire, it's a footstool.

Remember that Turkey was the Greek mainland, and that many of the books of the New Testament were written to Greek churches in what is now called Turkey.

Now a map of the 7 Churches of Revelation, oh here's one.

Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamon (Pergamos) , Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea form the outline of a (right) foot with Pergamos the heel mark! See: Genesis 3: 14, 15.

And... Job 41
1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook,
7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?

Look at Turkey's head (good fishing in those waters). Now his arm, broken at Istanbul
Job 38:15
From the wicked their light is withheld, And the upraised arm is broken.

And...

Psalm 37:17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, But the LORD upholds the righteous.

For the record I did not crack the shape of the locusts, (Rev 9) a friend did who wishes to remain anonymous. Thank you all! and it goes on and on and...
