I would enjoy that.
Spoilers What familiar characters might we see...

- Start date
Has anyone mentioned Tenavik? Time doesn't flow normally on Boreth.
Indeed, we might get to see toddler Tenavik.
They probably won't do it in the third season of DSC because they might want to save them for somewhere else, but it would be interesting to see what became of the Dominion.
When the wormhole was closed, maybe they sent a fleet that took the long way to the Alpha Quadrant and destroyed an unprepared Starfleet some decades later.

2374 + 70 = 2444
2444 = 45 years after the first season of Star Trek: Picard. Hmmm.
Or the Prophets didn't destroy the fleet in the wormhole but displaced them in time.When the wormhole was closed, maybe they sent a fleet that took the long way to the Alpha Quadrant and destroyed an unprepared Starfleet some decades later.
If that fleet emerged from the wormhole at the same time the other fleet arrived from its journey, it would be a formidable combined force.
What other fleet?
And I should clarify-I meant that the Dominion Fleet doesn't get destroyed but displaced out of space and time and in to the future, due to the Prophets lack of comprehension of linear time. So, they get sent to the future. Kind of like the Doctor's experience of time in "The Girl in the Fireplace."
The fleet we were just talking about a few posts up.

Ooohhhhh.....my bad.
I was speculating on another situation where a Dominion fleet could show up. However, I forget to mention that it would just one fleet.
My bad.
If the Prophets don't think in terms of the past, present, or future, then I don't think they'd send the Dominion ships to another time. Because those ships would still be around, from the point of view that Prophets understand. I think the Propehts would instead just whisk them out of existence. Just like that. Which is why they'd tell Sisko he'd have to suffer a penance.
Keeping Bajor out of danger from destruction means keeping them out of danger from destruction period. Just sending the Dominion ships to another time would mean that Bajor would just be in danger during another time. So, technically, they wouldn't doing what Sisko asked them to do, so much as just put it off. Which doesn't sound like the Prophets honoring the spirit of his request.

Well, both of those Dominion fleets would assume that the non-aggression pact with Bajor was still in place. During the entire course of the Dominion War, not a single shot was fired at Bajor.
Therefore, the Prophets clearly want the displaced Dominion fleets to attack an unsuspecting peacetime Alpha Quadrant, and have them duke it out until the galaxy's true rulers - the Bajorans - are the only ones left standing!
(But Sisko said Bajor could expect 1,000 years of peace & prosperity, and we'll see if that turned out to be the case in season 3 of Discovery.)
My DS9 is fuzzy. What episode did he say that in?
Something else occurred to me. If Bajor joined the Federation eventually, then those Dominion ships would find out if Bajor was a member, so it would make the non-aggression pact null and void right then and there, in those Dominion ships' minds. Unless they found out from the Dominion that the war had ended. Otherwise, it's kind of like the British ships that attacked the United States shortly after The War of 1812 ended because they didn't find out in time before they set sail.
"The Reckoning." I don't have total confidence that the DSC writers will remember that little nugget, but the end of those 1,000 years might have marked whatever befell the Federation in the future. It could be a point to expand on within the plot of season 3 - if they use it at all.
Sisko did also prophesy that Bajor would join the Federation eventually, so you could be right about the implications for a Dominion attack in that particular scenario.
That must have been awkward for those British troops!
I don't think this one's been mentioned, but Kai Opaka might still be alive & kicking if those nanites are still keeping everyone relatively ageless on that moon in the Gamma Quadrant. Maybe she led Bajor into its 1,000 years of prosperity that Sisko prophesied. She was a character I wish we'd gotten to know more.
I think it could be neat to see timeships that were in Voyager. Also Daniels and the Sphere Builders from Enterprise. Could also see Gary Seven from TOS, Q and Wesley or the other Traveler from TNG, and Temporal Investigations, the Prophets, and Changelings from DS9. Plus, learning more about the Na'kuhl, Future Guy, and the Temporal Cold War. In a way, this storyline could open the door to bring in the whole of Trek for Discovery Season 3.
Yeah 2,800 ships is no joke.
It would be interesting, too, if the Founders in that fleet were disgusted with what the Dominion had become in their absence with Odo rejoining the Link, and if they set out to bring it back to the Dominion we knew in the war. If 1 Changeling (Odo) had influence, they would probably try to exercise theirs as well.
Familiar and not so familiar:
1. Q is good. It could even be digitally de-aged de Lancie
2. Future Dax. Not time travelling Ezri. Hopefully we never see her again. She's the Jar Jar of the Trill.
3. Id rather that The Sisko be saved for Picard-era.
4. The species that gave Gary 7 his tech and training.
5. The Grays or other classic UFOlogy aliens.
6. Borg Queen
7. A Sith Lord on the run from the Jedi.
8. The Doctor & Tardis.
9. Battlestar Pegasus
10. The Guardians of the Galaxy (with a cheesy callback from Nebula when she makes the same look when seeing the Tardis that Richard Dean Anderson would in Stargate when someone would make a MacGyver reference).
