Oseas I would like to address the little horn in your post.
Daniel 7-8 the little horn/4th beast
The seven heads are that of the Babylonian Empire: (Iraq), Medo - Persian Empire: (Iran), Grecian Empire: (Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt), Roman Empire. The ten horns represent the nations the Roman Empire scattered to when the deadly wound was put upon them, Daniel 7:23-25.
These ten nations were the Anglo-Saxons (English), the Franks (French), Suevi (Portuguese), Visigoths (Spanish), Burgundians (Swiss), Alemanni (Germans), Lombards (Italians), Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals in northern Africa. The last three being Ostrogoths, Heruli, and the Vandals had already been destroyed by the Roman Empire before their deadly wound came in 1798.
Seven remaining nations that still exist today:
Babylonian Empire:
(Iraq) The lion represents the winged lions that guarded the royal places of Babylon.
Medo – Persian Empire:
(Iran) The ribs of the bear are part of the consuming greed that devours the first empire.
Grecian Empire:
(Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt) Four wings of the leopard described the swiftness of this empire that ran from 334-331BC. It wrestled world dominion from Medo-Persia. After the death of Alexander the Great the kingdom was divided into four minor kingdoms that continued as prominent factors in world politics until the Roman Empire gathered it back as one kingdom.
Roman Empire: (little horn, Daniel 8:9-14, 23-27)
Iron represents the stronghold this nation had. Daniel chapter 2 mentions the iron element of this empire that it to will be divided and broken as God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed.
Rev 12:3 the other sign John saw was a great red dragon meaning Satan. Remember, this is a vision and a sign as Satan has not yet been cast out of heaven until the beginning of the 3 1/2 year tribulation. The description of the dragon being great and red depicts its nature and character as being fierce and murderous, John 8:44. This red dragon is depicted as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. This is also confirmed in Rev 17 as mystery Babylon is described. The seven heads and ten horns refer to the original ten kingdoms of which three were subdued by the little horn of Daniel 7:8. The last kingdom which stands greater than all the others is that of a revived Roman Empire that takes control over all the ten nations who then implements a deceiving peace treaty with the Muslims in which the Dome of the Rock will be given over to the son of perdition as he reigns from the very Temple mount of God. This is the abomination Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24:15, 16 that we are to flee from when we see the son of perdition take his seat in Jerusalem for 3 1/2 years.
Rev 13 the beast rises up out of the sea as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15. This beast is a Luciferian system comprised of economic, political, militant, environmental and a false religious system. This beast system that Satan works through gives its power to the beast out of the earth as the beast out of the earth appears as the Lamb of God, but is a false Christ being the son of perdition, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 with two horns. The two horns represent the Old Roman Empire that received its deadly wound back in 1798 by General Berthier who made his entrance into Rome and abolished the Roman government and established a secular one. That caused them to scatter into the other ten nations (ten horns). The wound was healed in 1929 by Mussolini.
Greetings in Christ JESUS,
Sister, what I am posting I think it already is of your knowledgment, but is different of what you posted.
LITERAL FULFILLMENT OF DANIEL 7 combined with DANIEL 2:41-45:
At 587 B.C. the Kingdom of Judah was conquered by Babylonians, Jerusalem was destroyed, including the Temple. Many people were forced into exile in Babylon, Daniel was taken captive along with all the other prisoners which lasted until 538 B.C., only after 49 years were they freed in the beginning of the Medo-Persian reign by King Cyrus, at which time the people of Judah began to return to the land of Israel to REBUILD the house of GOD, the Temple, as GOD commanded( Ezra 1:3, take a look), what happened after 21 years, it was around 517 B.C, Check it in Ezra 6:v.15, and it with the help of Michael during 21 years (Daniel 10:12-14, take a look).
Daniel 7:v.1-8-CJB - Complete Jewish Bible
verse 1 - In the first year of Belshazar (556 B.C.) king of Bavel(Babylon), Dani’el had a dream and visions in his head, as he was lying on his bed. He wrote the dream down, and this is his account:
verse 2-I had a vision at night; I saw there before me the FOUR winds of the heaven breaking out over the Great Sea.
COMMENTS:
FOUR WINDS - DANIEL 7: 2
Four winds are exclusively the
four GENTILIC KINGDOMS which would go to rise up on the Earth, beginning by the Kingdom of Babylon, of course;
GREAT SEA - DANIEL 7: 2
The Great Sea->sea is waters--> waters are peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues-
Revelation 17:15; Therefore,
Great Sea is exclusively all GENTILE NATIONS of the Earth as a whole,
the only exceptions were/are the Kingdom of Israel and Kingdom of Judah, descendants of Abraham. On the other hand, Israel is an island in the middle of the waters or in the middle of the Great Sea (Gentilic peoples); Israel is the dry land, it's the clay-Isaiah 64:8.
verse 3 - and FOUR huge animals came up out of the sea, each different from the others.
COMMENTS - FOUR HUGE ANIMALS: FOUR KINGDOMS:
Four huge animals, each different from the others, they represent or refer to four different nations/peoples.
Each one is different from the others, so the kingdoms are FOUR Gentile different nations/peoples.
verses 4-6 -
COMMENTS - DESCRIPTION OF THE FOUR KINGDOMS (FOUR WINDS)
Here goes the FOUR huge biblical kingdoms described by the prophet Daniel:
Details: In fact, sequentially one kingdom CONQUERS and swallows the other precedent kingdom;
1-The FIRST huge biblical kingdom-Babylon,it was from 605-539 B.C. :-->at 587 B.C. destroyed the kingdom of Judah and the temple of Jerusalem.
2 - The SECOND huge biblical kingdom -Medo-Persian- CONQUERS and swallows the first kingdom-Babylon-at 539 B.C., and it was from 539 B.C - 330 B.C.
3 - The THIRD huge biblical kingdom -GREEK- CONQUERS and swallows the second kingdom-Media-Persia- and also what left of the FIRST kingdom, and was from 330-146 B.C.
4 - The FOURTH huge biblical kingdom -ROMAN EMPIRE- CONQUERS and swallows the third kingdom-GREEK-and everything that was left from the FIRST and SECOND kingdoms, and the fourth was DIVIDED in two parts (represented by TWO LEGS of Nebuchadnezzars's statue-Daniel 2:41):
TWO LEGS - DIVIDED KINGDOMS
(1st part) the western kingdom, it lasted until 476AD;
(2nd part) the eastern kingdom, it lasted until 1453AD.
As we know, the prophecy of Daniel describes the FOUR huge kingdoms as FOUR ANIMALS: They are:
- the FIRST as a lion;
- the SECOND as a bear,
- and the third as a leopard,
- and the fourth as a...what? Isn't there an animal for the fourth kingdom? No, there isn't, because how horrible and ugly is the MONSTER of the FOURTH kingdom.
verses 7-8;DESCRIPTION OF THE FOURTH ANIMAL-FOURTH KINGDOM
7 - After this, I looked in the night visions; and there before me was a fourth animal, dreadful, horrible, extremely strong, and with great iron teeth. It devoured, crushed and stamped its feet on what was left. It was different from all the animals that had gone before it, and it had ten (10) horns.
(These 10 horns are the 10 tribes of Israel-descendants of Abraham, an appendix or appendage within the Gentilic Roman Empire, the Great Sea).
8 While I was considering the (10) horns (10 tribes of his own people), another horn sprang up among them (11th horn-the Jewish false messiah, a false Prophet), a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. In this horn (11th horn) were eyes like human eyes (a master of Torah, a false Prophet) and a MOUTH speaking arrogantly.-->
Revelation 16:13-14
COMMENTS: Very interesting these details linked to the ten horns:
The FOURTH huge biblical kingdom CONQUERS and swallows the third kingdom and everything that's left from the first and second kingdoms BY THE ROOTS. But who or what is the 11th horn which sprang up among the ten(10) horns? Its no easy to understand, but hard to interpret.
The headquarter of the FOURTH kingdom was in Rome. The fourth kingdom was the Roman Empire which conquered the third kingdom (leopard) in 146 BC, and later conquered or captured Jerusalem, i.e. in 63 B.C., and constituted Herod, a Roman vassal king, as ruler of the Land of Israel, from 63 to 4 B.C. , and although Israel be under the Roman dominion, the Temple of Jerusalem was renewed by king Herod. At that time JESUS would birth in Israel in fulfillment of the Word of GOD, course.
With the birth of JESUS and establishement of His Ministry around 29-33 AD, started a new Era, whose happenings I will try to describe according the Word of GOD,
in next post, as follows:
