little horn--little at first, but afterwards waxing greater than all others. He must be sought "among them," namely, the ten horns. The Roman empire did not represent itself as a continuation of Alexander's; but the Germanic empire calls itself "the holy Roman empire." Napoleon's attempted universal monarchy was avowedly Roman: his son was called king of Rome. The czar (CÃ&brvbr;sar) also professes to represent the eastern half of the Roman empire. The Roman civilization, church, language, and law are the chief elements in Germanic civilization. But the Romanic element seeks universal empire, while the Germanic seeks individualization. Hence the universal monarchies attempted by the Papacy, Charlemagne, Charles V, and Napoleon have failed, the iron not amalgamating with the clay. In the king symbolized by "the little horn," the God-opposing, haughty spirit of the world, represented by the fourth monarchy, finds its intensest development. "The man of sin," "the son of perdition" (Th2 2:3). Antichrist (Jo1 2:18, Jo1 2:22; Jo1 4:3). It is the complete evolution of the evil principle introduced by the fall. three of the first horns plucked up--the exarchate of Ravenna, the kingdom of the Lombards and the state of Rome, which constituted the Pope's dominions at the first; obtained by Pope Zachary and Stephen II in return for acknowledging the usurper Pepin lawful king of France [NEWTON]. See TREGELLES' objections, Dan 7:7, "ten horns," Note. The "little horn," in his view, is to be Antichrist rising three and a half years before Christ's second advent, having first overthrown three of the ten contemporaneous kingdoms, into which the fourth monarchy, under which we live, shall be finally divided. Popery seems to be a fulfilment of the prophecy in many particulars, the Pope claiming to be God on earth and above all earthly dominions; but the spirit of Antichrist prefigured by Popery will probably culminate in ONE individual, to be destroyed by Christ's coming; He will be the product of the political world powers, whereas Popery which prepares His way, is a Church become worldly. eyes of man--Eyes express intelligence (Eze 1:18); so (Gen 3:5) the serpent's promise was, man's "eyes should be opened," if he would but rebel against God. Antichrist shall consummate the self-apotheosis, begun at the fall, high intellectual culture, independent of God. The metals representing Babylon and Medo-Persia, gold and silver, are more precious than brass and iron, representing Greece and Rome; but the latter metals are more useful to civilization (Gen 4:22). The clay, representing the Germanic element, is the most plastic material. Thus there is a progress in culture; but this is not a progress necessarily in man's truest dignity, namely, union and likeness to God. Nay, it has led him farther from God, to self-reliance and world-love. The beginnings of civilization were among the children of Cain (Gen 4:17-24; Luk 16:8). Antiochus Epiphanes, the first Antichrist, came from civilized Greece, and loved art.

The "mouth" and "eyes" are those of a man, while the symbol is otherwise brutish that is it will assume man's true dignity, namely, wear the guise of the kingdom of God (which comes as the "Son of man" from above), while it is really bestial, namely, severed from God. Antichrist promises the same things as Christ, but in an opposite way: a caricature of Christ, offering a regenerated world without the cross. Babylon and Persia in their religion had more reverence for things divine than Greece and Rome in the imperial stages of their history. Nebuchadnezzar's human heart, given him (Dan 4:16) on his repentance, contrasts with the human eyes of Antichrist, the pseudo son of man, namely, intellectual culture, while heart and mouth blaspheme God.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
little horn The vision is of the end of Gentile world-dominion. The former Roman empire (the iron kingdom of (Dan 2:33-35); (Dan 2:40-44); (Dan 7:7) will have ten horns (that is, kings, (Rev 17:12) corresponding to the ten toes of the image. As Daniel considers this vision of the ten kings, there rises up amongst them a "little horn" (king), who subdues three of the ten kings so completely that the separate identity of their kingdoms is destroyed. Seven kings of the ten are left, and the "little horn." He is the "king of fierce countenance" typified by that other "king of fierce countenance," Antiochus Epiphanes, (Dan 8:23-25) the "prince that shall come" of (Dan 9:26); (Dan 9:27) the "king" of (Dan 11:36-45) the "abomination" of; (Dan 12:11); (Mat 24:15) the "man of sin" of (Th2 2:4-8) and the "Beast" of (Rev 13:4-10). See "Beast"; (Dan 7:8); (Rev 19:20).

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
Another little horn - Probably either the Turk or the Romish antichrist.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Another little horn - Among Protestant writers this is considered to be the popedom. Before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up - These were probably, 1. The exarchate of Ravenna. 2. The kingdom of the Lombards. And, 3. The state of Rome. The first was given to the Pope, Stephen II., by Pepin, king of France, a.d. 755; and this constituted the pope's temporal princes. The second was given to St. Peter by Charlemagne, in 774. The third, the state of Rome, was vested in the pope, both in spirituals and temporals, and confirmed to him by Lewis the pious. These are the three horns which were plucked up from the roots before the little horn. Were eyes like the eyes of a man - Intimating cunning and superintendence; for the pope calls himself Episcopus episcoporum, the Overseer of overseers. And a mouth speaking great things - Full of boasting; pretending to unlimited jurisdiction; binding and loosing at pleasure; promising to absolve from all sins, present, past, and future; and threatening to send to everlasting destruction all kings, kingdoms, and individuals, who would dare to dispute his power and authority.

⁸ And [2532] the lord [2962] commended [1867] the unjust [93] steward [3623], because [3754] he had done [4160] wisely [5430]: for [3754] the children [5207] of this [5127] world [165] are [1526] in [1519] their [1438] generation [1074] wiser [5429] than [5228] the children [5207] of light [5457].

¹⁸ And unto Enoch [02585] was born [03205] Irad [05897]: and Irad [05897] begat [03205] Mehujael [04232]: and Mehujael [04232] begat [03205] Methusael [04967]: and Methusael [04967] begat [03205] Lamech [03929].
¹⁹ And Lamech [03929] took [03947] unto him two [08147] wives [0802]: the name [08034] of the one [0259] was Adah [05711], and the name [08034] of the other [08145] Zillah [06741].
²⁰ And Adah [05711] bare [03205] Jabal [02989]: he was the father [01] of such as dwell [03427] in tents [0168], and of such as have cattle [04735].
²¹ And his brother's [0251] name [08034] was Jubal [03106]: he was the father [01] of all such as handle [08610] the harp [03658] and organ [05748].
²² And Zillah [06741], she also bare [03205] Tubalcain [08423], an instructer [03913] of every artificer [02794] in brass [05178] and iron [01270]: and the sister [0269] of Tubalcain [08423] was Naamah [05279].
²³ And Lamech [03929] said [0559] unto his wives [0802], Adah [05711] and Zillah [06741], Hear [08085] my voice [06963]; ye wives [0802] of Lamech [03929], hearken [0238] unto my speech [0565]: for I have slain [02026] a man [0376] to my wounding [06482], and a young man [03206] to my hurt [02250].

⁵ For God [0430] doth know [03045] that in the day [03117] ye eat [0398] thereof, then your eyes [05869] shall be opened [06491], and ye shall be as gods [0430], knowing [03045] good [02896] and evil [07451].

¹⁸ As for their rings [01354], they were so high [01363] that they were dreadful [03374]; and their rings [01354] were full [04392] of eyes [05869] round about [05439] them four [0702].

⁷ After [0870] this [01836] I saw [01934] [02370] in the night [03916] visions [02376], and behold [0718] a fourth [07244] beast [02423], dreadful [01763] and terrible [0574], and strong [08624] exceedingly [03493]; and it had great [07260] iron [06523] teeth [08128]: it devoured [0399] and brake in pieces [01855], and stamped [07512] the residue [07606] with the feet [07271] of it: and it [01932] was diverse [08133] from [04481] all [03606] the beasts [02423] that were before [06925] it; and it had ten [06236] horns [07162].

³ And [2532] every [3956] spirit [4151] that [3739] confesseth [3670] not [3361] that Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] is come [2064] in [1722] the flesh [4561] is [2076] not [3756] of [1537] God [2316]: and [2532] this [5124] is [2076] that spirit of antichrist [500], whereof [3739] ye have heard [191] that [3754] it should come [2064]; and even [2532] now [3568] already [2235] is it [2076] in [1722] the world [2889].

²² Who [5101] is [2076] a liar [5583] but [1508] he that denieth [720] that [3754] Jesus [2424] is [2076] [3756] the Christ [5547]? He [3778] is [2076] antichrist [500], that denieth [720] the Father [3962] and [2532] the Son [5207].

¹⁸ Little children [3813], it is [2076] the last [2078] time [5610]: and [2532] as [2531] ye have heard [191] that [3754] antichrist [500] shall come [2064], even [2532] now [3568] are there [1096] many [4183] antichrists [500]; whereby [3606] we know [1097] that [3754] it is [2076] the last [2078] time [5610].

³ Let [1818] no [3361] man [5100] deceive [1818] you [5209] by [2596] any [3367] means [5158]: for [3754] that day shall not come, except [3362] there come [2064] a falling away [646] first [4412], and [2532] that man [444] of sin [266] be revealed [601], the son [5207] of perdition [684];

²⁰ And [2532] the beast [2342] was taken [4084], and [2532] with [3326] him [5127] the false prophet [5578] that wrought [4160] miracles [4592] before [1799] him [846], with [1722] which [3739] he deceived [4105] them that had received [2983] the mark [5480] of the beast [2342], and [2532] them that worshipped [4352] his [846] image [1504]. These both [1417] were cast [906] alive [2198] into [1519] a lake [3041] of fire [4442] burning [2545] with [1722] brimstone [2303].

⁸ I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].

⁴ And [2532] they worshipped [4352] the dragon [1404] which [3739] gave [1325] power [1849] unto the beast [2342]: and [2532] they worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], saying [3004], Who [5101] is like [3664] unto the beast [2342]? who [5101] is able [1410] to make war [4170] with [3326] him [846]?
⁵ And [2532] there was given [1325] unto him [846] a mouth [4750] speaking [2980] great things [3173] and [2532] blasphemies [988]; and [2532] power [1849] was given [1325] unto him [846] to continue [4160] forty [5062] and two [1417] months [3376].
⁶ And [2532] he opened [455] his [846] mouth [4750] in [1519] blasphemy [988] against [4314] God [2316], to blaspheme [987] his [846] name [3686], and [2532] his [846] tabernacle [4633], and [2532] them that dwell [4637] in [1722] heaven [3772].
⁷ And [2532] it was given [1325] unto him [846] to make [4160] war [4171] with [3326] the saints [40], and [2532] to overcome [3528] them [846]: and [2532] power [1849] was given [1325] him [846] over [1909] all [3956] kindreds [5443], and [2532] tongues [1100], and [2532] nations [1484].
⁸ And [2532] all [3956] that dwell [2730] upon [1909] the earth [1093] shall worship [4352] him [846], whose [3739] names [3686] are [1125] not [3756] written [1125] in [1722] the book [976] of life [2222] of the Lamb [721] slain [4969] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889].
⁹ If any man [1536] have [2192] an ear [3775], let him hear [191].
¹⁰ He that [1536] leadeth [4863] into captivity [161] shall go [5217] into [1519] captivity [161]: he that [1536] killeth [615] with [1722] the sword [3162] must [1163] be killed [615] with [1722] the sword [3162]. Here [5602] is [2076] the patience [5281] and [2532] the faith [4102] of the saints [40].

⁴ Who [3588] opposeth [480] and [2532] exalteth [5229] himself above [1909] all [3956] that is called [3004] God [2316], or [2228] that is worshipped [4574]; so [5620] that he [846] as [5613] God [2316] sitteth [2523] in [1519] the temple [3485] of God [2316], shewing [584] himself [1438] that [3754] he is [2076] God [2316].
⁵ Remember ye [3421] not [3756], that [3754], when I was [5607] yet [2089] with [4314] you [5209], I told [3004] you [5213] these things [5023]?
⁶ And [2532] now [3568] ye know [1492] what withholdeth [2722] that [1519] he [846] might be revealed [601] in [1722] his [1438] time [2540].
⁷ For [1063] the mystery [3466] of iniquity [458] doth [1754] already [2235] work [1754]: only [3440] he who now [737] letteth [2722] will let, until [2193] he be taken [1096] out of [1537] the way [3319].
⁸ And [2532] then [5119] shall [601] that Wicked [459] be revealed [601], whom [3739] the Lord [2962] shall consume [355] with the spirit [4151] of his [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] shall destroy [2673] with the brightness [2015] of his [846] coming [3952]:

¹⁵ When [3752] ye therefore [3767] shall see [1492] the abomination [946] of desolation [2050], spoken of [4483] by [1223] Daniel [1158] the prophet [4396], stand [2476] [2476] in [1722] the holy [40] place [5117], (whoso readeth [314], let him understand [3539]

¹¹ And from the time [06256] that the daily [08548] sacrifice shall be taken away [05493], and the abomination [08251] that maketh desolate [08074] set up [05414], there shall be a thousand [0505] two hundred [03967] and ninety [08673] days [03117].

³⁶ And the king [04428] shall do [06213] according to his will [07522]; and he shall exalt [07311] himself, and magnify [01431] himself above every god [0410], and shall speak [01696] marvellous things [06381] against the God [0410] of gods [0410], and shall prosper [06743] till the indignation [02195] be accomplished [03615]: for that that is determined [02782] shall be done [06213].
³⁷ Neither shall he regard [0995] the God [0430] of his fathers [01], nor the desire [02532] of women [0802], nor regard [0995] any god [0433]: for he shall magnify [01431] himself above all.
³⁸ But in his estate [03653] shall he honour [03513] the God [0433] of forces [04581]: and a god [0433] whom his fathers [01] knew [03045] not shall he honour [03513] with gold [02091], and silver [03701], and with precious [03368] stones [068], and pleasant things [02532].
³⁹ Thus shall he do [06213] in the most strong [04581] holds [04013] with a strange [05236] god [0433], whom he shall acknowledge [05234] [05234] and increase [07235] with glory [03519]: and he shall cause them to rule [04910] over many [07227], and shall divide [02505] the land [0127] for gain [04242].
⁴⁰ And at the time [06256] of the end [07093] shall the king [04428] of the south [05045] push [05055] at him: and the king [04428] of the north [06828] shall come against him like a whirlwind [08175], with chariots [07393], and with horsemen [06571], and with many [07227] ships [0591]; and he shall enter [0935] into the countries [0776], and shall overflow [07857] and pass over [05674].
⁴¹ He shall enter [0935] also into the glorious [06643] land [0776], and many [07227] countries shall be overthrown [03782]: but these shall escape [04422] out of his hand [03027], even Edom [0123], and Moab [04124], and the chief [07225] of the children [01121] of Ammon [05983].
⁴² He shall stretch forth [07971] his hand [03027] also upon the countries [0776]: and the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall not escape [06413].
⁴³ But he shall have power [04910] over the treasures [04362] of gold [02091] and of silver [03701], and over all the precious [02532] things of Egypt [04714]: and the Libyans [03864] and the Ethiopians [03569] shall be at his steps [04703].
⁴⁴ But tidings [08052] out of the east [04217] and out of the north [06828] shall trouble [0926] him: therefore he shall go forth [03318] with great [01419] fury [02534] to destroy [08045], and utterly to make away [02763] many [07227].
⁴⁵ And he shall plant [05193] the tabernacles [0168] of his palace [0643] between the seas [03220] in the glorious [06643] holy [06944] mountain [02022]; yet he shall come [0935] to his end [07093], and none shall help [05826] him.

²⁷ And he shall confirm [01396] the covenant [01285] with many [07227] for one [0259] week [07620]: and in the midst [02677] of the week [07620] he shall cause the sacrifice [02077] and the oblation [04503] to cease [07673], and for the overspreading [03671] of abominations [08251] he shall make it desolate [08074], even until the consummation [03617], and that determined [02782] shall be poured [05413] upon the desolate [08074].

²⁶ And after [0310] threescore [08346] and two [08147] weeks [07620] shall Messiah [04899] be cut off [03772], but not for himself: and the people [05971] of the prince [05057] that shall come [0935] shall destroy [07843] the city [05892] and the sanctuary [06944]; and the end [07093] thereof shall be with a flood [07858], and unto the end [07093] of the war [04421] desolations [08074] are determined [02782].

²³ And in the latter time [0319] of their kingdom [04438], when the transgressors [06586] are come to the full [08552], a king [04428] of fierce [05794] countenance [06440], and understanding [0995] dark sentences [02420], shall stand up [05975].
²⁴ And his power [03581] shall be mighty [06105], but not by his own power [03581]: and he shall destroy [07843] wonderfully [06381], and shall prosper [06743], and practise [06213], and shall destroy [07843] the mighty [06099] and the holy [06918] people [05971].
²⁵ And through his policy [07922] also he shall cause craft [04820] to prosper [06743] in his hand [03027]; and he shall magnify [01431] himself in his heart [03824], and by peace [07962] shall destroy [07843] many [07227]: he shall also stand up [05975] against the Prince [08269] of princes [08269]; but he shall be broken [07665] without [0657] hand [03027].

¹² And [2532] the ten [1176] horns [2768] which [3739] thou sawest [1492] are [1526] ten [1176] kings [935], which [3748] have received [2983] no [3768] kingdom [932] as yet [3768]; but [235] receive [2983] power [1849] as [5613] kings [935] one [3391] hour [5610] with [3326] the beast [2342].

⁴⁰ And the fourth [07244] kingdom [04437] shall be [01934] strong [08624] as iron [06523]: forasmuch as iron [06523] breaketh in pieces [01855] and subdueth [02827] all [03606] things: and as [06903] iron [06523] that breaketh [07490] all [03606] these [0459], shall it break in pieces [01855] and bruise [07490].
⁴¹ And whereas thou sawest [02370] the feet [07271] and toes [0677], part [04481] of potters [06353]' clay [02635], and part [04481] of iron [06523], the kingdom [04437] shall be [01934] divided [06386]; but [04481] there shall be [01934] in it of [04481] the strength [05326] of the iron [06523], forasmuch as [03606] [06903] thou sawest [02370] the iron [06523] mixed [06151] with miry [02917] clay [02635].
⁴² And as the toes [0677] of the feet [07271] were part [04481] of iron [06523], and part [04481] of clay [02635], so the kingdom [04437] shall be [01934] partly [04481] [07118] strong [08624], and partly [04481] [07118] broken [08406].
⁴³ And whereas [01768] thou sawest [02370] iron [06523] mixed [06151] with miry [02917] clay [02635], they shall mingle themselves [01934] [06151] with the seed [02234] of men [0606]: but they shall [01934] not [03809] cleave [01693] one [01836] to [05974] another [01836], even [01888] as iron [06523] is not [03809] mixed [06151] with clay [02635].
⁴⁴ And in the days [03118] of these [0581] kings [04430] shall the God [0426] of heaven [08065] set up [06966] a kingdom [04437], which shall never [05957] [03809] be destroyed [02255]: and the kingdom [04437] shall not [03809] be left [07662] to other [0321] people [05972], but it shall break in pieces [01855] and consume [05487] all [03606] these [0459] kingdoms [04437], and it [01932] shall stand [06966] for ever [05957].

³³ His legs [08243] of iron [06523], his feet [07271] part [04481] of iron [06523] and part [04481] of clay [02635].
³⁴ Thou sawest [02370] [01934] till [05705] that a stone [069] was cut out [01505] without [03809] hands [03028], which smote [04223] the image [06755] upon [05922] his feet [07271] that were of iron [06523] and clay [02635], and brake [01855] them [01994] to pieces [01855].
³⁵ Then [0116] was the iron [06523], the clay [02635], the brass [05174], the silver [03702], and the gold [01722], broken to pieces [01855] [01751] together [02298], and became [01934] like the chaff [05784] of [04481] the summer [07007] threshingfloors [0147]; and the wind [07308] carried [05376] them [01994] away [05376], that [03606] no [03809] place [0870] was found [07912] for them: and the stone [069] that smote [04223] the image [06755] became [01934] a great [07229] mountain [02906], and filled [04391] the whole [03606] earth [0772].
