24. ten horns —answering to the ten "toes" ( Daniel 2:41 ). out of this kingdom —It is out of the fourth kingdom that ten others arise, whatever exterior territory any of them possess ( Revelation 13:1 ; Revelation 17:12 ). rise after them —yet contemporaneous with them; the ten are contemporaries. Antichrist rises after their rise, at first "little" ( Revelation 17:12- : ); but after destroying three of the ten, he becomes greater than them all ( Daniel 7:20 ; Daniel 7:21 ). The three being gone, he is the eighth (compare Daniel 7:21- : ); a distinct head, and yet "of the seven." As the previous world kingdoms had their representative heads (Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar; Persia, Cyrus; Greece, Alexander), so the fourth kingdom and its Antichrists shall have their evil concentrated in the one final Antichrist. As Antiochus Epiphanes, the Antichrist of the third kingdom in Daniel 7:21- : , was the personal enemy of God, so the final Antichrist of the fourth kingdom, his antitype. The Church has endured a pagan and a papal persecution; there remains for her an infidel persecution, general, purifying, and cementing [CECIL]. He will not merely, as Popery, substitute himself for Christ in Christ's name, but " deny the Father and the Son" ( 1 John 2:22 ). The persecution is to continue up to Christ's second coming ( Daniel 7:21 ; Daniel 7:22 ); the horn of blasphemy cannot therefore be past; for now there is almost a general cessation of persecution. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-25" class="com-number"
