Isaac Newton on the Little Horn

Of the eleventh horn of Daniel’s fourth Beast.

"Now Daniel, considered the horns, and behold there came up among them another horn,

before whom there were three of the first horns pluckt up by the roots; and behold in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things, {Dan. 7:8.} -and his look was more stout than his fellows,- and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them{Dan.7:20, 21.}: and one who stood by, and made Daniel know the interpretation of these things, told him, that the ten horns were ten kings that should arise, and another should arise after them, and be diverse from the first, and he should subdue three kings, {Dan. 7:24.}and speak great words against the most High, and wear out the saints, and think to change times and laws: and that they should be given into his hands until a time and times and half a time.{Dan. 7:25.}

Kings are put for kingdoms, as above; and therefore the little horn is a little kingdom. It was a horn of the fourth Beast, and rooted up three of his first horns; and therefore we are to look for it among the nations of the Latin Empire, after the rise of the ten horns.

But it was a kingdom of a different kind from the other ten kingdoms, having a life or soul peculiar to itself, with eyes and a mouth.
--By its eyes it was a Seer;
--and its mouth speaking great things
--and changing times and laws,
--it was a Prophet as well as a King.
And such a Seer, a Prophet and a King, is the Church of Rome."
