To understand this we can take the Soviet union and Roman Ethipia as example
so sure the direct successor of Soviet union is Russia but the term Soviet union also include the other nations like Ukraine, Georgia,Armenia etc
..........
And the Roman Empire was a very large empire which included vast areas of western Europe, Eastern Europe and the Middle east.......but its current successor might be taken as Italy but this by no means exclude the others
Similarily "The Ethiopia" expressed in the scripture generally means a large state that occupies most of Africa southern to Egypt and some parts of Arabia.........but the direct sucessor of that state today can be seen as the present day Ethiopia,Eritrea and parts of Sudan but this doesn't exclude the other nations
So techinically what is reffered in the Bible as Ethiopia is present day Ethiopia and Eritrea among others.
