1. He's not the Little horn - which Daniel says was "exceeding great" beyond the "great" ram and the "very great" he goat.
2. Antiochus Epiphenes IV was a pathetic little dweeb who was derogatorily known as "Epemenes" (mad man), was a prisoner and hostage for a time, and he and his entire army were "punked" by a few Roman officials and a scant envoy guard down in Egypt. Epimenes the madman arose not during the "latter" time of the Seleucid kingdom, it was "mid-point" time in the succession of all the Seleucid kings, which continued a succession of many other kings.
3. Which is why the Little Horn is a depiction of a kingdom which was to arise after Greece: ROME, first Pagan Rome by it's horizontal attack and then Papal Rome by its vertical attack toward heaven.
4. It is not "out of one of them (horns)" from which the Little Horn arises, it is "out of one of them (winds) from which the Little Horn arises, as evidenced by noun/pronoun gender agreement. The gender of the pronoun "them" only agrees with the gender of the noun "winds" - not "horns" - so the verse is simply saying "out of one of the four winds of the compass (West)" which is clear evidence that this next "exceeding great" power is to arise outside of the previous Greek "very great" power.
5. Roman officials condemned our Lord, Roman nails fastened our Lord's hands and feet to the Cross, and a Roman spear pierced His side - you don't get any more "great" against the Almighty than than, and certainly not by sacrificing a stupid pig on a sacred altar, an altar to which the great Sacrifice pointed.
6. Yes, the Little Horn arose outside the horns of Greece, just as the Little Horn of Daniel 7
1&2- AE of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire is most assuredly the little horn. The 3rd Beast began with Alex the Great, and ended with the 4 horns, which clearly shows it to be "in the latter time of their kingdom" (Grecian-3rd beast). KJV-Dan. 8:23. "Their kingdom" was the 3rd beast.
3. Wrong! The little horn of the 3rd beast rose while the 4th beast was coming to power on the earth. He rose "among them", but was not of them. That is only one of the many errors that the churches have made! You end remarks are only conclusive to your " religious" denominational persuasion. By a long shot, you are not reading deep enough.
Did you know that the books of Maccabees go hand in hand with Daniel, more than Rev.?
4. Both Winds and Horns are symbolic of the "Four Generals" of Alex the Great. They received his Grecian Empire and split it up four ways, of which are known today as "The Hellenistic Kingdoms".
"Exceeding great" ? Yes, let's look at that, and how the churches have messed that up badly.
KJV-Dan.8[
9] And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which
waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
> Please notice the word "waxed" . In the context of that verse, Antiochus Epiphanes
desired to exceed in being great, toward...
He never reached his goal in being famous. However, as becoming infamous, he was, by committing the "AoD".
5. That does not apply to the " little horn", being Antiochus Epiphanes, the only little horn who ever lived, or ever to come again.
6. I agree! Now go back and fix your understanding as I have shown.
And remember, DO NOT mix the visions of Daniel with the interpretations of Gabriel. Read them separately. Only Gabriel is the authority.
And don't forget to study Daniel with 1 Maccabees. Though this is hard for you to grasp, Rev. has little to do with Daniel.
