In Daniel a horn = a kingdom( country)- In Revelation 2 horns= 2 kingdoms working together as the final world power.
I agree! The Medes and the Persians are a prime example, of which is symbolized as a Ram having two horns. But it isn't necessarily two separate kingdoms. It can be two individual political bodies of government within a nation, such as the Republicans and the Democrats.
Edit:
Within the US, both political bodies have the authority and ability to orchestrate and command all of the nation's military branches.

As you can plainly see the symbolic BEAST, having two horns is the false prophet, and IS NOT a man.


A prophet is a man, whether a true prophet or false prophet. A prophetess is a woman.

The ten horned beast is not a man, but a kingdom or empire. The second beast is the false prophet, a man.

Most Christians follow after a comic book bible interpretation, discerned by church-ianity's denominational Bible colleges and Seminaries by way of "the wisdom of men".

In the area of biblical prophecy, popular Beast-animal appendages, such as wings, feet, horns and heads are symbols used to describe nations/empires and their political/military activities.

All should read and study 1 Cor. ch. 2

But the false prophet is definitely a man, leader of the Rev 13 ten horned beast which is a kingdom. You are clearly wrong about the FP. The view you have is pure church-ianity which ignores the bible for the "the wisdom of men".

This began as a request for all to discuss how many kingdoms in Daniel....

Daniel 2 — the statue (four metals)

Dan 2:39–40 — “After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and a third… of bronze… And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron…”

(head of gold, chest/arms silver, belly/thighs bronze, legs/feet iron = four human kingdoms.


Daniel 7 — the beasts (four beasts)

Dan 7:3 — “Four great beasts came up out of the sea…”

Dan 7:17 — “These four great beasts are four kings/kingdoms that shall arise out of the earth.”

Dan 7:23 — “The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth…”


There are only 4 metals in the metal man statue. They are only 4 animal / animal like beings in chapter 7. The clay in chapter 2 is meant to symbolize the Jewish people that are held captive and subjugated within the Roman Empire at the time of Christ. God is / will reveal His plan of restoration of His people from their exile in Babylon in 606 BC throught these 4 kingdom periods. However, He will also reveal His plan of salvation and restoration for all of mankind in Daniel through the cross and the giving of His Holy Spirit on Pentecost through these same 4 and only 4 kingdoms. This is His plan and He has elected to reveal His plan through these 4 and only 4 kingdoms, the final kingdom will continue until His return. There are 4 kingdoms in Daniel and there are 4 kingdoms from Daniel that can be found in Revelation - no others. Revelation is essentially chapter 13 of Daniel......
