“The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.”
The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.
The interpreting angel continues with the meaning of the “ten horns.” The “ten horns” are ten kingdoms. One horn will subdue three kings and kingdoms (7:8). The horn is a king, not a kingdom. He differs from the ten kings (Re 13:1; 17:12).
PRINCIPLE:
A final world dictator will arise during the Tribulation who will deceive the world into believing that his programs will be the answer to the world’s problems.
APPLICATION:
The final form of the fourth kingdom is the Revived Roman Empire. Two great political changes must occur before the return of Jesus Christ in glory:
1) The restoration of the Jews to Palestine.
2) The establishment of the Revived Roman Empire by a world dictator.
An ultimate Caesar will rise during the Tribulation period. He will be a vibrant personality. The world will fall for his solutions to world problems.
we note that the fifth little hone comes from the Roman empire which is a development in disguise of the other three empires. the little hone controls the Roman empire, the fourth Kingdom. Thee Image these beasts is One from Head to toes. the little hone is the climax of Satanic world system that will rule whole world and overtake the nonbelievers small and great.
Yes, the horn is a king but does it not reign in the revived roman empire

What do you mean by saying the restoration of the Jews to Palestine? Where is this stated in the Bible? Thanks.
Tim, the restoration of Israel is one of the most extensive doctrines of the Bible running from the unconditional covenants such as the Abrahamic Covenant (Ge 12-15), the Davidic Covenant (2 Sa 7), through the poetic books, minor prophets, major prophets, the gospels, in many epistles, and the book of Revelation. Here are a few samples:
Restoration of Israel Forever
Even the latter part of the Old Testament contains repeated prophecies that Israel would return to its land and that God would restore its king.
Amos 9:11
"In that day I will restore David’s fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be."
Micah 4:7–8
I will make the lame a remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion [Jerusalem] from that day and forever. As for you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; kingship will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.
Daniel 2:44
After speaking of four great successive earthly kingdoms and ten kings still to come after them, Daniel declares that "in the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that … will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever."
Daniel 9:24–27
Regarding the "seventy years" of desolation (9:2), Daniel was told that after sixty-two "sevens" (434 years, v. 25) the "Anointed One will be cut off" (v. 26), but only after he had "put an end to sin" and sealed up "vision and prophecy" about His coming (v. 24). The time interval would be "from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes" (v. 25); roughly, this span works out to 445/444 b.c.–a.d. 33.55
There is only one power that fits the bill or description and that is the papacy system which know today as papal Rome ( catholicism) we know the name universal this is the power in church history that claims infallibility. Here we are not talking about individuals but the system.this is the same system that persecuted christians in the dark ages for 1260 years from 538a.d to 1798 remember that the french revolution brought the fall of the papacy system and the exile of pope Pius v
The bible says the second beast which is lamblike speaks like dragon but looks like a lamb. This is no other than the united states of America this power will in the last persecute the saints of God those who will refuse to receive the mark y the beast
