It is merely a comparaison of scripture with history. This is prophecy we are talking about. There is no need for some super spiritual wisdom in understanding prophecy. Just a knowledge od history and a correct understanding of the symbols, all of which are given to us in the scripture itself. Not that difficult.Yes, your line of thinking is typical of the "religious" method of analytical study, by your fleshly mind.
No where, Where did I claim it was? The scripture itself says, and after them came up another little horn...Daniel 7:8. Daniel was considering the ten horns, when he saw the eleventh, coming up among them.Questions:
Where at any time is it stated that the rising "little horn" was OF THE 10 horns?
So? The little horn grew out of the head of the 4th beast in Daniel 7...and out of one of the four winds in Daniel 8. In Daniel 7 the little horn refers to a power, a Roman power, because it grew from a Roman head, that developed after the appearance of the ten horns.Is it not true, that when Antiochus Epiphanes was rising to power, in the latter time of the 3rd Beast (Grecian Empire), the 4th beast (Roman Empire) was in it's beginning stages of formation?
The fourth beast in the prophetic picture may have had ten horns attached when Daniel saw it, but that doesn't mean the ten horns were already in existence at the beast's birth and rising. That makes no sense when considering that God is consistently applying natural phenomena to prophetic sybols...no beast in nature has horns grown and developed at birth. They rise later, and as history attests, those ten horns which grew out of the Roman head came up after Roman power began to fall away...and the little horn, Roman as were the other ten, came up after, but while they still ruled. The little horn in fact overcame 3 of them.IOWS, while the 4th beast with 10 horns was rising,
You err. The third beast, Greece, had no horns but one...Alexander the Great....the first king. Greece then divided into four...depicted not as horns, but as heads. And none of those four heads, had horns. They were Ptolemy, Seluecis, Cassander and Lysimachus. Antiochus was a bsy little no-body perhaps with aspirations of greatness, but failed to meet any of the specifics of the prophecies thus must be dismissed as any candidate for being the Antichrist that rose in the latter time of the Roman empire (little horn Daniel 7) and endured to the second coming.so also was the "little horn" of the 3rd beast rising among them.
