Little Horn

Attribute 1 Arose out of the Fourth Beast

“The removal of the capitol of the empire from Rome to Constantinople in 330, left the Western Church practically free from imperial power, to develop its own form of organization. The Bishop of Rome, in the seat of the Caesars, was now the greatest man in the West, and was soon forced to become the political as well as the spiritual head.” The Rise of the Medieval Church, pg. 168. Alexander C. Flick. Ph.D. Litt.D.

Attribute 2 and 3 Amongst the 10 Horns (vs 8) After the 10 horns (vs 24)

Attribute 6 Uproot 3 kingdoms

The destruction of the 3 kings was due to their adoption of Arianism. A belief first taught by Arius (250-336AD) who lived and taught in Alexandria. His beliefs are listed as follows: God the Father ("unbegotten"), always existing, was separate

from the lesser Jesus Christ ("only-begotten"), born before time began and creator of the world. The Father, working through the Son, created the Holy Spirit, who was subservient to the Son as the Son was to the Father. The Father was seen as "the only true God." 1 Corinthians 8:5-6 was cited as proof text: The letter of Auxentius, a 4th-century Arian bishop of Milan, to the missionary Ulfilas.

The Vandals, Heruli and Ostrogoths all converted to Arian Christianity, primarily through the gothic missionary Ulfilas. Each of these tribes was utterly destroyed and uprooted.

Attribute 7 Spoke Great Words against the Most High

With regard to the mystic body of Christ, that is, all the faithful, the priest has the power of the keys, or the power of delivering sinners from Hell, of making them worthy of Paradise, and of changing them from the slaves of Satan into the children of God. And God Himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of His priests, and either not to pardon or to pardon, according as they refuse or give absolution, provided the penitent is capable of it. "Such is," says St. Maximus of Turin, "this judiciary power ascribed to Peter that its decision carries with it the decision of God." The sentence of the priest precedes, and God subscribes to it, writes St. Peter Damian. (Duties and Dignities of the Priest, Alphonsus Liguori. 1927)

• Item divinus monarcha, ac imperator supremus et rex regum.(He is likewise the divine monarch, and supreme emperor, and king of kings.)

• Deveniendo ad Papae auctoritatem, Papa est quasi Deus in terra unicaus Christifidelium princeps, regum omnium rex maximus, plenitudinem potestatis continens, cui terreni simul, ac coelestis imperii gubernacula ab omnipotenti Deo credita sunt.(As to papal authority, the Pope is as it were God on earth, Sole sovereign of all the faithful of Christ, chief king of kings, having a plentitude of unbroken power, entrusted by the omnipotent God to govern the earthly and heavenly kingdoms.)

Attribute 8 Wore down the Saints of the Most High

Numbers unknown of how many were actually killed during the dark ages.

At least 3 separate inquisitions and 5 crusades.

Attribute 9 Change Times and Laws

Times The beginning of the end came March 7, 321 A.D., when Emperor

Constantine issued the first National Sunday Law in history. This was the first "blue law" to be issued by a federal government. Here is the test of Constantine's Sunday law decree:

"Let all judges and townspeople and occupations of all trades rest on the venerable of the sun [Sunday]; nevertheless, let those who are situated in the rural districts freely and with full liberty attend to the cultivation of the fields because it frequently happens that no other day may be so fitting for plowing grains or trenching vineyards, lest at the time the advantage of the moment granted by the provision of heaven be lost. Given on the Nones (seventh) of March, Crispus and Constantine, being consuls each of them, for the second time."-- The Code of Justinian, Book lll, title 12, law 3.

Attribute 10 Reign for Time, Times and half a Time

Time equals 1 year Year in Greek, Roman and Jewish calendar is

360 days Times equals 2 years Half a time equals half a year or 180 days Therefore this equation is

360+720+180 = 1260 days Day equals 1 year therefore is 1260 years.

When did it start? Destruction of the last of the 3 kingdoms was

the Ostrogoths, after the siege of Rome in March 538AD

Therefore if you start with 538 and add 1260 years, you come to 1798.

In 1798 on February 10 Napoleon’s General Loius Alexandre Berthier Invaded the Vatican and took the Pope Pius VI captive who later died in France.
