Many have said that the little horn better known as the antichrist will rise to power and build a army to come against God.
Well that's not true at all. This man will come in peaceably and by flatteries (politician). He will make war against the saints. They will be given into his hand for a time and times and a dividing of time (3.5 years).
Here's the next part of scripture that many don't mention or even know.
The will take away his dominion and destroy it until the end. Here's some scripture for context to show you what it is saying.
23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
See right there in verse 26 where it says his dominion will be taken away and destroyed until the end? What's interesting is that it says THEY will take away his dominion.
So the 7 remaining kings of the beast system (NWO) will take the little horn's power from him.
It appears that this antichrist figure that many have taught about will come into power and quickly be taken down. Perhaps that's why so many Christians will be deceived by this little horn. He will not come in the cookie cutter version that they expect and will be deceived by their own doctrines and lack of knowledge of course.
This little horn who has a mouth speaking great things and is more stout than his fellows. Who cast the truth to the ground (in control of the media to propagandize the masses). Who also will wear out the saints and set up the abomination of desolation in the temple (temple not made with hands). He will be a deal maker. He makes peace with many scripture says.
Once the temple has been defiled by the abomination, that is grounds for divorce from God (breaking of the covenant). This is how the little horn stamps on the residue (remnant).
But what's so interesting for me is to learn he won't stay in power, but be taken off his throne. The remaining kings are the ones that raise up the army to come against God.
So with all this information, I hope the scales can come off the eyes of my true brothers and sisters in Christ. That they may not be deceived by the potential little horn, who checks off most, if not all the boxes that are laid out in scripture. At the very least I pray that you seek God on this matter. To help you see what's not so easily discerned in these times. God bless you, I truly pray that He does.
Sounds like DJT is the Little Horn.
Maybe, but President Trump has always been a polarizing figure which means the media will be following him no matter what. He is also hugely popular, but the thing that kills President Trump from being the "little horn" is the fact that the world isn't divided into 10 kingdoms with three of them being cast out.
Besides we have had very popular figures before, and will have more popular figures in the future. Some of the people that come to mind are Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, and Princess Diana among others. We can even add George Washington to this list for what he did for this country as commander in chief during the Revolution and as the first President.
Thanks for this fren, gotta love Bible prophecy!! So the question is when is this 3.5 year time period? Have the predictions of Daniel and Revelation already happened or are they yet to come? Does it matter? God is sovereign!
Many understandings on this subject. According to scripture it will be from the time that the abomination that causes desolation is set up. This is the timeframe that he's allowed to wage war against the saints. Remember judgement starts at the house (temple) of God.
It my belief that we are in that period now. When exactly it ends? I have my ideas, but it's probably best we each seek out this wisdom from the Holy Spirit. Many take offense to date setting, even in the watcher community lol.
After what happened this past week with the so-called "persecution" specifically timed to coincide with Passover week, there's no doubt in my mind who this little horn is.
Amen sister, let's pray that more of our brothers and sisters have the scales removed from their eyes.
God reveals himself to those who are seekers.
We have ears to hear, eyes to see and intellect to discern.
Read his Word, meditate on them day and night, stay in prayer (talk to God).
Obey when he asks of you. Our obedience is required to participate in our faith. There are many actions we can take that we, under our own will, would not take. He gives us each the power to overcome our fears and replaces it with wisdom, power and peace. He commands us to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. We cannot do that without his love for us.
