The little horn in Daniel 7 and 8 is time of the end. The great words that he speaks against God is after he becomes the beast-king in Revelation 13. As the beast-king, he will rule the world for 42 months, ending with Jesus's return. The little horn is not the Pope nor papacy. The little horn is not a historic person.
Revelation 13;
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Daniel 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Daniel 7:19-21 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Daniel 7:24-26. 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. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

The let and hindrance in 2 Thessalonians 2 was the Roman empire as the early church writers tell us with remarkable unanimity.
After it was taken out of the way the empire would divide into the 10 horns. This happened in the 5th century. The little horn beast would receive his kingdom nearly the same time as the ten kingdoms (one hour). This remarkably is what the ECW told us
Before it happened as it was passed down from Paul. "You know," said Paul because when he was with them he told them. "We pray for the continuation of the Empire" said Tertullian, "because WE KNOW what calamities will come when it is removed."
Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
The little horn came out of the 10 horns that the empire split into and began to gain power at that same time as the ten horns, the Germanic kings. The little horn being a continuation of the Roman empire will rule the he is thrown into the pit.
Daniel 7:11. The great words the horn the horn spoke are the same voice that John heard:
Revelation 10:1-4 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
Tis was at the Reformation when Martin Luther received the Papal Bull, the seven thunders from the seven hills, of excommunication, he thought that is was as the voice of God, but eventually realised it was the opposite and he burnt it as "The execrable bull of Antichrist.." He then excommunicated the pope. Casting out the outer court, Revelation 11.
Daniel 7:19-21 The little horn with eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, exactly describes the papacy, it has eyes which look out from the "Holy See" throughout bishops which are his overseers, they have to report back to the Vatican every month. It is the most universal spy network in the world.
Daniel 7:24-26 Here again we have the little papal horn, different from the rest . The papacy did destroy three of the ten kings, thus creating the papal states which he lost in 1870 when the Prussians attacked France and the French troops protecting Rome withdrew, and the king of Italy took all the papal positions in Italy except the Vatican palace. The papacy has always spoken great words against the Most High, and he wore out saints of the most high, until just before the reformation there was practically no evangelical witness for 3½ years before the reformation. The witnesses were dead, but were resurrected at the reformation.
The papacy changed laws making his laws over states. Every Roman catholic is a citizen of Rome first and their home country after. He gas changed times as our calendar is the Gregorian calendar.
ALL FULFILLED.
