The reason why the prophecies in Daniel are still a mystery to some, is because too much false doctrine is propagated thru the media by too many false teachers. The book of Daniel clearly proves that all the horns in his prophecies are kings/men. It is man that is distorting the Word. The true interpretation of the prophecies in Daniel can only be understood by following the instructions given, and this is the true interpretation after acknowledging the horns are men:
Dan 2:36-44 first establishes the fact that the 4 kingdoms in Dan. 2 are the same 4 kingdoms in Dan 7. Verse 44 establishes the fact that the Kingdom of Christ would be set up during the reign of the 4th beast's kingdom.
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Denominational Christianity's stumbling block, or at least how most people interpret the fact, is that the 10 horns on the 4th beast are kingdoms, and they do this in order to place the Kingdom of Christ on this earth, though the text specifically says the 10 horns are kings:
Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Daniel chapter 7 also tells us that the 4 beasts are 4 kings:
Dan 7:16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
The given facts so far: the 4 kingdoms in Dan.2 are the same kingdoms in Dan. 7; the kingdom of Christ would be set up during the 4th kingdom; the 4 beasts/kingdoms are 4 kings; and the 10 horns on the 4th beast are also kings.
Dan 8 defines another set of horns that are Greek and Persia Median:
Dan 8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
Dan 8:21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Dan 8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Why do some people blaspheme the text? The kingdom of Christ is established in heaven, when the 11th horn/king reigns. This is proven by the fact that Dan 2:44 says so, and by the fact that it's the 1st beast in Rev 13:1 that is the 4th beast in both Dan 2 & 7; the 2nd beast in Rev 13 being the 5th kingdom, the 11th horn, the feet made of iron and clay. The 4th beast was the legs made of only iron.
The same 10 horns/kings that are on the 4th beast in Dan 7, are on the 1st beast of Rev 13:1, because the kingdom is Rome. The ten horns were her first 10 kings. The Beast was the scripted 8th, and the false prophet was the 11th.
The reason Dan 7:8 & 20 says the 11th horn had eyes and mouth like a man is because he is not a man, he is a fallen angel, one of the 4 fallen angels released from the Euphrates river (the bottomless pit). It is during his reign that heaven was attacked, the Armageddon mentioned in Revelation.
Until these rebellious souls stop taking God's Word out of context, they will never be able to understand Daniel's prophecies.
