“The Scofield Reference Bible” KJV Years 1909 – 1945 The end of Gentile world – power. (1.) In the beast vision of Daniel chapter 7: the fourth beast (verse 7) is declared to be “the fourth Kingdom.” .ie (That is) The Roman Empire, the “iron” Kingdom of Daniel Chapter 2: The “ten horns” upon the fourth beast (Roman empire”, verse 7, are declared to be “ten kings that shall arise” (verse 24) answering to the ten toes of the image vision of Daniel Chapter 2. The ten Kingdoms, covering the regions formerly ruled by Rome, will constitute, therefore, the form in which the fourth or Roman empire will exist when the whole fabric of Gentile world-domination is smitten by the “stone cut out without hands” = “”Christ”” (Daniel 2: 44, 45; Daniel 7: 9). (2.) But Daniel sees a “little horn” rise up and subdue three of the ten kings (Chapter 7: 24-26). His distinguishing mark is hatred of God and of the saints. He is not to be confounded (confused) with the “little horn” of Daniel Chapter 8: a prophecy fulfilled in Antiochus Epiphanes (Daniel Chapter 8:9,) In Revelation 13: additional particulars of the “little horn” of Daniel Chapter 7: are given (Revelation Chapter 13:1). Chapter 8…The ram and rough goat vision…Daniel 8:1-27 (1.) The “little horn” here is a prophecy fulfilled in Antiochus Epiphanes, B.C. 175, who profaned the temple and terribly persecuted the Jews. He is not to be confused with the “little horn” of Daniel Chapter 7 who is yet to come, and who will dominate the earth during the great tribulation. See “The Beast,” Daniel Chapter 7:8; Revalation Chapter 19:20 and “The great tribulation,” Palms 2:5…Revelation chapter 7:14. But Antiochus is a remarkable type of the Beast, the terrible “little horn” of the last days.
