The Little Horn

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

In Daniel chapter 2 we have our first glimpse of the Little Horn power. In Daniel 2 this Little Horn is the feet and toes of iron and of clay – meaning it is a mixture of church and state. In Daniel 7 this Little Horn comes out of Rome and seeks to change God’s times and His laws. In Daniel 8 this same Little Horn attacks the people of God, the intercessory ministry of Jesus Himself, the sanctuary, and the truth. In Daniel 11 this same kingdom, under the title of the King of the North, God seems to think He can handle gives it a two thousand three hundred year probationary time and then sets things right.

Prayer for Today: God we are not sure why You want us to know about this Little Horn power but we can see that it clearly has some problems. We pray that if we have thinking like this kingdom does that You will help us to come to You and get is straightened out before it is too late. Thank You Lord for revealing this government to us, so that we can avoid it, and it’s thinking, at all costs.
