Full Version: The Little Horn
Does anyone have a take on who they think the little horn, the Daniel speaks of, is?
Sure, I'll give it a shot!
The little horn is the office of the Papacy. It killed-off or displaced 3 rival "Horns" which were differing versions of Christianity contending for supremacy. These others were the Otragoths, the Visigoths and the Vandals I think. A history book will clarify the names of the sects if I've gotten them wrong. I'm doing this from memory. In 538 AD these rivals were destroyed at the behest of the Catholic Chuch, specifically the Bishop of Rome, the office of the Papcy. Hence the 3 other horns were rooted out. The one who destroyed them was the Roman Emperor, I belive Justinian.
This little horn power had rule over the empire and all kingdoms for a period of 1260 years, ending in 1798 when during the French Revolution the little horn was given a seemingly lethal blow. The pope was captured and imprisioned and died in captivity. The revolutionaries declared and end to the supposed un-broken line of succession from Peter.
The little horn power clearly comes out of pagan Rome. In the dream in Daniel the progression of world empires is clearly described, from the Babylonians then the Medo-Persians to the Greeks and lastly the Romans. It is from Rome that the little horn arises. Rome is then broken in peices never to be re-assembled and this is our current reality, the feet of iron and clay mixed.
The rock, cut out by no human hands is revealed in two distinct ways. The first and most important is Jeshua(Jesus) the Christ. His kingdom will come and destory the known world and render the memory of all the worlds empires into the dust. By the way, many have tried to re-builed the feet of clay and iron mixed back into one empire. Everyone has failed, including Napoleon and Hitler. The EU is no where near the unified empire that was Rome and will never be, because it is declared in the prophecy.
The second fulfillment of the rock cut out by no human hand destroying the earth is a very big rock literally cut out by no human hand that will destory the earth as we know it. There are lots of very big rocks like this floating around, and we're about to cross paths with one.
This time period, 1260 years where the little horn and the beast trample the saints is also expressed as a time, times and half a time and also is expressed as fourty-two months. These refer to the same prophetic period.
The office of the papacy recovered from this seemingly deadly blow as we know.
Daniel 7:24 KJV
"And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
This little horn attempted to change the "times" of the sabbath. The little horn also attempted to change the 10 commandments, eliminating the second and splitting the tenth into two to maintain the number.

Very good Ed14 ... and historically true, about the papacy and the 1260 year prophecy fulfilled in 1798 when "The pope was captured and imprisoned and died in captivity. The revolutionaries declared an end to the supposed un-broken line of succession from Peter".
Yes, every "Peter" is the image of the beast that has eyes and can speak, as each "Peter" is considered by the Church of Rome to be the "Image and Successor" of Peter.
When one dies, another "papal peter" is then "created" by the College of Cardinals. However, this is not the sensational type of interpretation espoused by the current crop of prophecy "experts".
When Pope Paul VI addressed the United Nations Assembly, he said:
"Do you know who I am? My name is Peter."
The trend today seems to be ... tickle my ears and tell me something exciting and supernatural. Example:
Professor J.Dwight Pentecost of the (infamous) Dallas Theological School (of interpretation) had this to say about the false prophet and the image of the beast:
"Now I don't profess to be able to explain to you how this false prophet can make this image of the beast speak, whether he does it electronically, or by ventriloquism or by some Satanic marvel, but I know that here is something so awesome that when the world sees this dead and lifeless image begin to give commands, they fall down before it as though it had come from Almighty God Himself."
So much for the hyper-literal sensationalism of prophetic interpretation.
The "Vicar of Christ" fulfills that description quite nicely, but Pentecost is right about one thing ... the world of Roman Catholicism continues to bow down to, and kiss the foot of its lifeless bronze image of Peter located in that great city Mystery Babylon ... ie Vatican City ... so much so that it is claimed that its toe is near worn away.

Yes I've been there and I must say that the statue of Peter have the shiniest toes in the world. Are these Christians that revere the statue, Really?
'St. Peters Basillica" Next door to the Vatican. I was there in 2000. I have never seen such a crowd of image worshipers and statue huggers in my life.
The riches, the opulence, the pios presentation of so called history. And the crowds from all over the world that kiss the artifacts and touch and pray to the statues, paintings of Mary etc......

Having said all that........
The little Horn is the first beast. The socio-political-religious entity that will come to prominance in the last days.
Yes the Vatican fits. When the time comes, I would not be surprised to see Islam involved, with the Zionists, illuminati, the EU, UN and some other bodies too. They are all antichrist in their own way, some more than others.
But a great contender for the leader of this entity is certainly the Pope. Also Prince Charles who claims ancestory to King David. Kofi Anan, King of Jordan, perhaps the leader of the first beast will not be the Antichrist although its power comes from the antichrist as the antichrist will ultimately be satan himself by the time he seats himself in the holiest of holys. 'Watch and pray'
God bless us all. Through Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Have you ever read any books or articles about the Vandals or the Visigoths? They were pagan German tribes whose constant ebb of invasions marked a beginning of the fall of Rome. They worshipped Thor and Oden.

God knows who the little horn is or will be. All we can do is speculate on who it might be. We have had a few threads in here dealing with the Anti-christ on men who might be the Anti-christ. Javiar Solana has been mentioned often also there are a few other possible candidates. But i don't think we will really know until the man finally puts his hands up.

I love something interesting about the Bible and that is that God sometimes uses the same picture or prophecy to talk to us about more than one thing. I have to keep on reminding myself about that when I read what other people think.
There are pictures within pictures. The Antichrist has been and will be. So with the little horn, I think we have seen "mini" revelations of the major event, may times so far, in many historic events. The trailers of the main movie , so to speak.

I agree completely with your observations regarding "pictures within pictures". But, you must admit it is a terrific tool for recovering the fumble when certain ideas are proven to fall short of perfection.

Exactly right! And yes I have. Here's one now.
Little Horn Power
Uproots 3 horns on the terrible beast with 10 horns
Seven Ways To Identify The Little Horn
1. LOCATION: Daniel 7:8 The little horn develops among ten nations of Europe into which Rome divided.
2. TIME OF ARISE: Daniel 7: 8,20,24 It would arise after the breakup of the Roman Empire-that is, after the fifth century A.D. Further, it would arise after three of the ten horns had been uprooted. Three of the barbarian kingdoms that arose out of Rome espoused the views of Arius, who denied the divinity of Christ. All the other barbarian kingdoms came to accept the Catholic faith.
From 476 A.D. on, the three Arian powers dominated portions of the territory of Rome, but each in turn met defeat as the rulers of the Eastern Roman Empire rallied to support the Roman Church in the West. In 533 AD Justinian, the emperor of the Eastern Empire, legally recognized the bishop (POPE) of Rome as the head of all the Christian churches, but because of the Arian domination of Rome, the pope had no opportunity to actually exercise his civilly recognized power. Finally, in 538AD Belisarius, one Justinian's generals, routed the Ostrogoths, the last of the Arian powers from the city of Rome. Thus, by the military intervention of the Eastern Empire, the pope was freed from the dominating influence of states that restrained his activities in the civil sphere. The date AD 538 plays an important part in identifying who this power is as we shall see under number 7.
3. ITS NATURE: Daniel 7:7,8,24 Compared with other horns the little horn was diverse, or different, it was "STOUT" or great. It exercised more than political power. Its attention to religious issues characterizes this power as a combined religious and political system.
4. ATTITUDE TOWARD GOD: Daniel 7:8, 20, 23 The little horn would "speak great words against God." (compare Daniel 8:23, Daniel 11:36, 2 Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 13:5.
5. ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOD'S LAW: Daniel 7:25 It would view God's Law as needing changes, and would attempt to make changes in that law by its own authority. Papal Rome did, in fact support Sunday as a holy day instead of the seventh-day Sabbath ordained by God in His law.
6. ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOD'S PEOPLE: Daniel 7:21,25. This system would persecute "the saints of the Most High". Those whom papal Rome considered heretical faced civil punishment. History attests that millions were put to death under this religiopolitical system. Church historian David Schaff summed up papal Rome's' persecuting activities in these words. "Down to the very close of the Middle Ages, the pages of history were disfigured by decrees of popes and synods, confirming death as the penalty for heresy, and for persons supposed to be possessed with witchcraft. The great council of Constance, 1415, did not get away from the atmosphere and ordered heretics punished even by the flames. And the hall of Leo X 1520 condemning Luther cursed as heresy the Reformer's literal statement that the burning of heretics is contrary to the will of the Spirit." History of the Christian church. Vol V part 1. p. 524.
7. LENGTH OF TIME PERMITTED TO RULE: Daniel 7:25 The little horn would rule a times, time, and dividing of time. The prophecies of Revelation provide the key to this symbolic period. There the same period of a" time, and times, and half a time" (Revelation 12:14) is equated with the 1260 days (verse 6). From this we see a time equals 360 days. In symbolic prophecy each day stands for a year according to Ezekiel 4: 5,6. For 1260 years, then the little horn would exercise its sovereignty over God's people and His law through civil channels. This period began in 538, as we have seen. Exactly 1260 years later in 1798, the French general Berthier entered Rome, declared a republic, and after taking the pope prisoner, proclaimed the political rule of the Papacy to be at an end. The book of Revelation later amplified on this loss of power by calling it a "deadly wound". But according to Revelation this wound was to be healed, and all the world would yet be awed by Rome as it manifested a comeback, a resurgence of power (Revelation 13:3 ). Thus the 1260 years denoted only the period of supremacy in Rome's long history during which God allowed this system to demonstrate its principles, policies, and objectives.
It should be emphasized that the little horn represents a system, a church-state combination, a religious power that would grasp civil power to enforce certain beliefs and practices. Because the Papacy did use such civil power as the prophecy predicted does not by any means bring individual Roman Catholics under condemnation. Multitudes of Roman Catholics have followed Christ as best they knew, and many have exhibited a true devotion to the cross. But the papal system during its years of supremacy did singularly fulfill the prophecy of Daniel 7.

The great council of Constance, 1415, did not get away from the atmosphere and ordered heretics punished even by the flames. And the hall of Leo X 1520 condemning Luther cursed as heresy the Reformer's literal statement that the burning of heretics is contrary to the will of the Spirit." History of the Christian church. Vol V part 1. p. 524.
7. LENGTH OF TIME PERMITTED TO RULE: Daniel 7:25 The little horn would rule a times, time, and dividing of time. The prophecies of Revelation provide the key to this symbolic period. There the same period of a" time, and times, and half a time" (Revelation 12:14) is equated with the 1260 days (verse 6). From this we see a time equals 360 days. In symbolic prophecy each day stands for a year according to Ezekiel 4: 5,6. For 1260 years, then the little horn would exercise its sovereignty over God's people and His law through civil channels. This period began in 538, as we have seen. Exactly 1260 years later in 1798, the French general Berthier entered Rome, declared a republic, and after taking the pope prisoner, proclaimed the political rule of the Papacy to be at an end. The book of Revelation later amplified on this loss of power by calling it a "deadly wound". But according to Revelation this wound was to be healed, and all the world would yet be awed by Rome as it manifested a comeback, a resurgence of power (Revelation 13:3 ). Thus the 1260 years denoted only the period of supremacy in Rome's long history during which God allowed this system to demonstrate its principles, policies, and objectives.
It should be emphasized that the little horn represents a system, a church-state combination, a religious power that would grasp civil power to enforce certain beliefs and practices. Because the Papacy did use such civil power as the prophecy predicted does not by any means bring individual Roman Catholics under condemnation. Multitudes of Roman Catholics have followed Christ as best they knew, and many have exhibited a true devotion to the cross. But the papal system during its years of supremacy did singularly fulfill the prophecy of Daniel 7.

I love something interesting about the Bible and that is that God sometimes uses the same picture or prophecy to talk to us about more than one thing. I have to keep on reminding myself about that when I read what other people think.
There are pictures within pictures. The Antichrist has been and will be. So with the little horn, I think we have seen "mini" revelations of the major event, may times so far, in many historic events. The trailers of the main movie , so to speak.

these thoughts, all, are very interesting and insightful.
that is my opinion.
but indeed, the Main Show.
the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH....
is coming. soon. to the WORLD THEATER.
"and are we not as a theatrical spectacle to the world?" so it is written.
Jesus Christ is the MASTER OF CEREMONIES.
"to THE DIRECTOR", about whom the psalms are written.
May HE BE GLORFIED TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.
bz
in the days when i get scared, i remember this.
God is the one that puts it into the hearts of kings to carry our his thought.
just as he did in the case of Pharoah.
that the world might KNOW that GOD IS JEHOVAH.
