In Daniel 7:19-22, the prophet continues to inquire about the fourth beast. He saw that this fourth beast was different from the other three beasts. Another feature of this fourth beast was that it had teeth of iron and claws of bronze and was usually very destructive.
Daniel also wanted to know the meaning of
the ten horns on the head of this beast and the emerging little horn with human
eyes and an arrogant, boasting mouth; this little horn was more significant
than the other ten horns.
As
Daniel observed, the little horn, with its human eyes and arrogant boasting
mouth, waged a fierce war against the saints, overpowering them with its might.
However, its victory was short-lived, as the judgment was given by the
Ancient of Days in favor of the saints, who then took possession of the
kingdom.
We will
look at the interpretation provided by the angel tomorrow. For now, let’s take
a little peep at the beast that John saw in the Book of Revelation. In Revelation
13:5-6, John describes the beast as having ten horns. It also had a mouth that
continually spews out boastful blasphemies against God, slandering His name. John
and Daniel were both referring to the same beast.
The little horn of the fourth beast incurred God’s
devastating judgment due to its audacity to malign God and oppress His people.
No one who comes against God and His people can escape His judgment. It is
comforting to know that we have an all-powerful God. No bully can ever go
unnoticed by Him, and He will eventually deal with them. We can rest assured in
the Lord, even when facing a bully, for we know that God will take care of it.
He has promised that vengeance belongs to Him and He will repay it.
