Little Horn

Identity of the little horn of Daniel 7: - 8:

and the beast of Revelation 13:1to7,15to18; 17:1to9,12to15,18;18:2to5

  In Daniel chapters 2; 7; 8 reveal that this little horn kingdom came out of the European ten divisions and part of the Roman Empire. Dan.7:20to25; Acts 26:32;28:16

 

  1. Paul warned of this man of sin that would be revealed before Jesus’ advent. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so

that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 2 Thessalonians 2:1to13

  Quotes are taken from the book: “The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine”.

  page 27 “The Catholic Church is the Church governed by the Pope, the Bishop of Rome”. (Dan.7:17,23,24   Vatican is a kingdom/government)

  “The Catholic Church is called Roman because the Pope, her

Head, resides in Rome”.   (Colossians 1:13to“18” Christ is the head of his church.)

 

  2. Daniel 7:8 Three governments did not want Papal Roman power to be over them and by 538A.D. they were destroyed Heruli, the Vandals, and the Ostrogoths.

 

  3. Daniel 7:8,25; Rev.13:5,6 ... a mouth speaking great

things and blasphemies; ... Dan. 8:9,12  ... cast down the truth to the ground; ...

  page 28 “The Holy Father or Pope is the Visible Head of       the Church, the Successor of St. Peter and the Vicar of Christ on earth”.  page 103 “... promise and swear true

obedience to the Roman Pontiff, successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and Vicar of Jesus Christ. ... the primacy and infallibility of the Roman Pontiff”.

page 101 “... kneel before you Reverend Father”(priest)

(Psalm 111:9 ... Holy and Reverend is his name. (God’s name) Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

(John 10:33 Note: blasphemy is being a man,  that makest themself God or in God’s place.)

 Not even Peter or an angel would accept someone to kneel before them. Acts 10:25,26; Rev.22:8,9 Please call no man holy, father, or reverend.  That place is only for God. Matthew 15:24to28; 28:9,10; Exodus 20:3

All have sinned; and come short of the glory of God; ... Romans 3:23,31 Jesus is the only “Rock” that we build on and not any man or church. (page 28,29 Peter the rock / head) Mat.7:20to27;16:16to“23”; 1 Corin. 10:4; Eph.2:19to22;“2 Samuel 23:1to3”; John 14:6

 

page 86 “The Church can grant an Indulgence, because  Christ gave her the power to forgive sin and the punishment due to sin.” (Note: Mark 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 2:5to10   Jesus is God so he can forgive sins, John 1:1,14,29 but not some man or church.)  Some people believe that they can charge money, etc. for the gift of Jesus’ forgiveness of sins. Peter told how to be forgiven and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:36to39 They that charge for the gift of the Holy Ghost and they that pay,   shall perish with their money! 

Acts 8:18to24; 3:1to9,12to21,26          Psalm 89:26 ... God the Rock of my salvation.

 

   4.  Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

When Berthier, the French general, took the Pope prisoner in 1798, he inflicted the deadly wound,    But in 1929 Mussolini once again restored the Vatican to the Pope, making him again a secular as well as a religious ruler. Today the Vatican is recognized by many governments on earth. Even the United States of America sends an ambassador to the Vatican, recognizing the Vatican State as a secular as well as a religious state. As one observes the developing Papacy today, one sees indeed the whole world wondering after this power.  (Rev. 16:13,14)

 

  5. Daniel 7:25; Rev. 13:5to7  ... and shall wear out the saints of the most High, (Rev. 14:12) ...  and they  shall be given into his hand until a time (= 1yr) and times (= 2yrs)

and the dividing of time (= 1/2 a year) (note: The year was number as 360 days.

In Ezekiel 4:6 a day in prophecy = a year ) (360+720+180=1,260 days = 1,260 years)

Rev. 13:5,7 ... forty and two months (30 days in a month , 42x 30= 1,260 days=years)

... to make war with the saints, ...   (Rev. 12:9,13,14--8,10,11,17)

 

  6. Note: from 538 AD to 1798 AD is 1,260 years   Truly some dark ages.

Note: The two main women of Revelation are  12:1,2,17” (Eph.5:23to27,32;Acts7:37;

Genesis 36:9,10 God’s people the church that has came down through time even to our days.)  “17:1to9; 2:20to23;” (1 Kings 16:29to33; 17:1(Lev. 26:1to4) Like Ahab and Jezebel marring is the joining the state and false religion. A church that mingles some truth and false and pagan worship in its’ doctrines.)(Genesis 3:4,5)   (1 John 3:1,4to15)

 

   7.  Rev. 17:5 Does she know she is the Mother Church?

 page 102 ...“Holy Mother Church, whose duty it is to judge the true sense and

interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, and I shall never accept or interpret them except according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers.” (2 Tim.2:15; 3:15to17) 

 page 103 ... “recognize the Holy Roman, Catholic and Apostolic Church as the mother

and teacher of all the Churches ...”  This same Catholic Faith, outside of  which nobody can be saved, ...”   (Rom. 10:9,10)

 

   8.  Dan. 7:25 ... think to change times and laws: ...          (Exodus 20:3to17)

   pages  99, and 100   “The Ten Commandments”

   “1. I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.

     2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God, in vain.”

Where is Exodus 20:4,5 images and not to worship them?

     page 103  “I porfess firmly that the images of Jesus Christ and of the Mother of God,

ever Virgin, as well as of all the saints should be given due honour and veneration.”

When one is cast  out how does she keep ten?              page 100

   “9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife.

   10. Thou shalt not covert thy neighbor’s goods.”

Note: she split the tenth commandment Exodus 20:17 Every true Christian knows how important God’s law of love is. So this “Mother Church” created delusions - deceptions.

Did she think to change another one of God’s holy law? Romans 7:12

    page 50      “The Third Commandment”       (Note: it is the fourth, Exodus 20:8to11)

  “ Q. Which is the Sabbath day.                    (Luke 4:14to16; 6:5; 23:52to“56”; 24:1)

     A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.

     Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?

     A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.”  ...

    Q. By what authority did the Church substitute Sunday for Saturday?       

    A. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday by the plenitude of that divine power which Jesus Christ bestowed upon her.”

Who gave her this authority and power?   Revelation 13:2

(From Genesis to Revelation and the new earth the seventh-day Sabbath is the Lord’s Day! Gen.2:1to3; Mat.12:8; Rev.1:10) Friday sundown to Saturday at sundown.

(Isaiah 51:6,7,8; 58:13; 66:22,23; Hebrews 4:1to11; 10:25,26 )

 

 9.     page 26  and 27                    c. Her Marks.          

 “ Q. How is the Church of Christ Catholic or Universal?

    A. The Church of Christ is Catholic or Universal, because: (1) She teaches all the

doctrine of Jesus Christ;  (2) She teaches all nations;  (3) She subsists in all ages;  ...”

(Note: Is her doctrine a mark of hers?)

    page  28   ... her Unity of Government.  page 103 Vatican

(Note: Vatican is a government / kingdom. Dan.7:23 = beast

(Note: Sunday is a doctrine of hers one of ............. her marks. page 50

In Revelation 9:4 what is the seal of God? Isaiah 8:16,20 (Rev. 12:17; Luke 23:56)

In Revelation 13:15to17 what is the mark of the beast?  Ezekiel 8:15,16;

 22:24to31; compare to Rev. 14:7,9,10,12 the day of indignation

2 Thessalonians 2:3,9to12  Note Sunday is a very strong delusion.      (John 8:44)

 

  10. Revelation 13:17,18  ... number of his name.  

        number of the beast ... number of a man ...    666

   page 28    “ ...the Pope   ... the Vicar of Christ “

    This is one of the official names of the Pope.      An ancient custom was to use the

Roman numeral system on people’s names, adding up the various totals of the letters.

In Latin: 

            V ........  5        F .......... 0     D .......... 500

             I ......... 1        I ........... 1     E ...........    0

            C ..... 100        L ........ 50     I .............   1

            A ......   0         I .........   1                   ___

            R ......   0         I .........   1                   501

             I ......    1                    ___                  112

            U ......   5                      53                    53

             S ......   0                                            ___
