It's known as the Seleucid portion of the Grecian Empire, and it runs right across the middle of our little neighborhood, and contained within it's borders is the Hashemite Kingdom. From Babylon, we get the Capital. The center has always been there. It never really moved, as we will see. The future end time, seventh, kingdom of the 'little horn' is born out of a loose confederacy of some weak and some strong kings from that region, coming together on a decision for peace.
Kings dissenting to peace get up rooted.
Interesting choice of words, uprooted. To me it means that you remove it permanently. Putting something else back in its place. It's a short lived kingdom, but the king doesn't know that. He's planning long range.
