Several of you hold to the historist point of view that the papacy/pope is the little horn person of Daniel 7. SDA (Seventh Day Adventists) also hold that point of view.
The scenario though cannot work for a number of reasons.
Starting with in the end times, the little horn person will persecute the saints for a time, times, half time, in Daniel 7:25.
Also, the beast-king individual of Revelation 13:3-4, the mortally-wounded but healed head (of the seven heads) does not fit as being the papacy/pope.
The beast-king will be worshiped - and worshiping the pope(s) is something not done.
The false prophet will be a false religious person who promotes the beast-king. The false prophet cannot fit as being the papacy/pope because the papacy/pope promote the worship of God the Father and Jesus, and hold the view of the Trinity-Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

The papacy/pope is guilty of persecution during the middle ages inquisition of Christians who chose not be under their authority and some of their doctrines regarding Mary, and praying to her. But that does not make the papacy/pope the little horn of Daniel 7.
