And just as the 23rd Psalms describes in vivid detail the suffering of Christ on the cross so to does Ezekiel 38 and 39 describe in great detail the nations to come against Israel in that Day.
The four Beast Empires spoken of by the prophet Daniel deal strictly with Israel only. Sorry Revived Roman Empire types he Roman Empire and the 1st Islamic Caliphate (Ottoman Empire) happened during the church age. That is why Daniel only spoke of four.
The terrible image in Nubchad-nezzars dream
Head of Fine Gold - Babylon
Breast and Arms - Mede Persia
Belly and Thighs - Greek
Legs of Iron and Feet of Clay - revived Islamic Calphate

א תִּקְעוּ שׁוֹפָר בְּצִיּוֹן, וְהָרִיעוּ בְּהַר קָדְשִׁי--יִרְגְּזוּ, כֹּל יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ: כִּי-בָא יוֹם-יְהוָה, כִּי קָרוֹב.
1 Blow ye the horn in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is at hand;
ב יוֹם חֹשֶׁךְ וַאֲפֵלָה, יוֹם עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל, כְּשַׁחַר, פָּרֻשׂ עַל-הֶהָרִים; עַם, רַב וְעָצוּם--כָּמֹהוּ לֹא נִהְיָה מִן-הָעוֹלָם, וְאַחֲרָיו לֹא יוֹסֵף עַד-שְׁנֵי דּוֹר וָדוֹר.
2 A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as blackness spread upon the mountains; a great people and a mighty, there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
