![]() ![]() Daniel chapter 8 says the Medo-Persians would become “great” (verse 4), the Grecians “very great” (verse 8), and the little horn power “exceedingly great” (verse 9). (Compare Daniel 8:25 with Daniel 2:34.)ī. The little horn of Daniel 8 fits this pattern exactly: It follows Greece and is finally supernaturally destroyed -"broken without hand"- at Jesus' second coming. Daniel 7:24–27 also establishes the fact that Rome in its papal form will be succeeded by the kingdom of Christ. In harmony with the prophetic rule of "repeat and expand," Rome must be the power represented here because chapters 2 and 7 of Daniel point to Rome as the kingdom that follows Greece. Others, including most leaders of the Reformation, have believed that the little horn represents Rome in both its pagan and papal forms. Some have suggested that it represents Antiochus Epiphanes, a Seleucid king who ruled over Palestine in the second century before Christ and who disrupted the Jewish worship services. So the little horn of the last days is the papacy. The “little horn” of Daniel chapter 8 represents Rome in both its pagan & papal stages.
