Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn… 1. By the ruin or destruction of this little horn, the fourth beast, or human kingdom is said utterly and finally to fall (v.11). Therefore, it cannot represent Mahomet. 2. The destroying of the beast and little horn is described in such forms as are in the book of Revelation, interpreted of Antichrist. (Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10, 11.) 3. This little horn is conjoined with the ten horns (v. 7,8, 20, 24), accordingly as Antichrist is conjoined with them. (Revelation 13; Revelation 17.) 4. The characters attributed to him are the same which are attributed to Antichrist. (1) He shall speak great things against the Most High. (2) He advanceth himself above the civil magistrate. (3) He changeth the laws and times. (4) He maketh war with the saints, and prevaileth against them. (Thomas Parker.) Parallel Verses KJV: I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. |
