What is the Little Horn? Why is it important?
Just to give you an idea, when the Little Horn is finally here on earth, the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is at hand.
Come and join me and I will share with you what God has made me understand about this end-time character called the Little Horn.
What Is The Little Horn?
In summary, the Little Horn represents a religion—a religious organization that wields governmental power. It is a theocracy. As I explained in my previous post, a theocracy that is not faithful to God is associated with Babylon.
Additionally, based on the vision of the prophet Daniel regarding “a goat and a ram,” the Little Horn will arise from one of the four nations that will emerge from the breakup of the United States.
Now, let’s examine a couple of verses from Daniel’s vision of “a goat and a ram,” which provide details about the appearance of the Little Horn.
Daniel 8:8 “Thus the goat became very great, but at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off, and four prominent horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven… ”
The vision can be interpreted as follows: When democracy ultimately overcomes authoritarian powers, particularly absolute monarchs, and communist regimes, it will begin to display a sense of superiority, becoming the world’s most prevalent form of government. However, at the peak of its influence, we can anticipate that the goat’s “large horn,” representing the United States, will split into four separate nations.
The verse then continues with the following line:
Daniel 8:8 …” From one of these horns, a little horn emerged..”
Therefore, the vision reveals that the Little Horn will emerge from one of the four nations formed after the breakup of the United States. Likewise, the Little Horn cannot emerge until the “fourth kingdom” or “the beast” has fully appeared on the global stage. We can expect “the beast” to manifest only after the United States has split into four nations. At that point, “the beast” will replace democracy as the dominant system of government in the world.
The Beast System
The “fourth kingdom,” or “beast” represents a new form of government that will be used to rule the nations of the world in the future. This is the same fourth kingdom that the prophet Daniel saw in a vision in chapter seven of his book.
Daniel 7:7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.“
Similarly, the fourth kingdom has a parallel prophecy in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 13:1 “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.“
The “fourth beast,” also known as the “fourth kingdom” or “the beast,” will have a powerful military force, crushing and dominating any who oppose it.
Unlike previous government systems, this “beast” will be composed of ten confederations of nations, symbolized by the “ten horns” in Daniel 7, “ten toes” in Daniel 2, and “ten horns” in Revelation 13. An example of such a confederation is the European Union, and the beast will consist of ten similar alliances.
The Little Horn Of The Fourth Kingdom
Additionally, at least one, if not all, of the four nations formed from the breakup of the United States will become part of this ten-horn beast government system. This information
Daniel 7:8 “While I was contemplating the (ten) horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.“
Please note that the “little horn” of Daniel chapter seven is the same “little horn” of Daniel chapter eight.
The Beast That Came Out Of The Earth
My friends, if you haven’t yet made the connection, the little horn is also the same entity as “the beast that came out of the earth” of the book of Revelation.
Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. This beast had two horns like a lamb but spoke like a dragon.
The little horn is “the mouth” of the beast that spoke blasphemies against God.
Revelation 13:5 The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months. And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle— those who dwell in heaven.
Moreover, the little horn aka the “beast that came out of the earth” is responsible for setting up the image of the beast and the “mark of the beast”.
Revelation 13:16 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
The King Who Exalts Himself
Another title that the little horn is known for is “the king who exalts himself”.
The verses below are giving us more insight into what this “little horn” or “the king who exalt himself” will do at the time of the end.
Daniel 11:36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall. acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
In the next couple of blogs, we will continue to look further into this end-time character called the little horn.
Please come back again to learn more about “the beast” and the “little horn”. We will also cover the kingdom of God in the next few blogs. The kingdom of God is God’s very own government that he will set up at the time when the 10 kings of the beast are finally ruling here on earth.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we now understand that at least one of the four nations that will emerge from the breaking-up of the United States will become part of the “ten horns” of the beast system.
In fact, the little horn will emerge from one of these four nations.
Likewise, we now understand also that the “little horn” of the Book of Daniel is the same entity as “the beast that came out of the earth” of the book of Revelation. Additionally, the little horn is also known as the king who exalts himself.
It is important to know when “the beast” and the “little horn” will show up because they will persecute God’s people and will be responsible for creating the “image of the beast” and the “mark of the beast”.
I will write a separate blog to explain to you what the “image of the beast” and the “mark of the beast” are all about in future blogs, God willing.
I hope that you have learned something from this blog, until next time friends, may God bless you all.
