It was enough to fulfill Jesus' prophecy.

And sure enough not long after Jesus departed, Rome did fall.

Yea, OK. 1400 years is "not long" if that is what it takes to fulfill prophecy.

History of the Byzantine Empire (Byzantium)

The Byzantine Empire, also called Byzantium, was the eastern half of the Roman Empire that continued on after the western half of the empire collapsed.

True.
Byzantines weren't actually Rome or Romans.

Untrue! We call them Byzantines but they called themselves Romans. In the attachment it says it, aka the eastern half of the Roman Empire.

I posted a link that explains that fact. Thank you for reinterating that historical fact.

From that link:
"Throughout their history, the Byzantines rarely controlled Rome and spoke mainly Greek. Despite this, the people of Byzantium continued to refer to themselves as "Romans,"....

....The Byzantine Empire was based at Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), and at its peak it controlled territory stretching from southern Spain to Syria.


Throughout their history, the Byzantines rarely controlled Rome and spoke mainly Greek. Despite this, the people of Byzantium continued to refer to themselves as "Romans," Timothy Gregory, professor emeritus of History at Ohio State University, wrote in the book "A History of Byzantium" (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010). Their broader empire was considered to be a "Roman" empire even though it rarely controlled Rome. "

My family blood heritage includes an origin in Sweden. I would be remiss if I labeled myself as a Swede.

Referring to themselves as Romans clearly did not men the Byzantine people were Roman.
