(The Papacy)
Daniel 7:8-11 |
8: |
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. |
||
9: |
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
|
|||
10: |
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. |
|||
11: |
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
|
|||
12: |
As concerning the rest of the beasts, their lives were prolonged for a season and time. |
(The Papacy)
|
The two horns represent secular and religious governments. This lamb-like person (Papacy) comes in peaceably. But in reality these governments are of Satan. |
Rev. 13:11-18 |
11: |
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. |
12: |
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. |
|
13: |
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, |
|
14: |
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast which had the wound by a sword, and did live. |
|
15: |
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. |
|
16: |
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. |
|
17: |
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. |
|
18: |
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. |
