you can make anything fitAntiochus does not fit all the requirements of the little horn power like the papacy does
how many divisions does the pope have?The five major powers are Babylon, Media-Persia, Greek, Pagan Rome, and the papacy
History realizes nothing prophetic for the last days.
how do you determine what is an end time prophecy?There's no such thing as a historical fulfillment of an end-time prophecy
According to my Preterist interpretation, 1500 AD marked the end of the Millennium and onset of the End Times (Rev 20:7), "right on schedule" at the beginning of the "8th Biblical Day" (=8th millennium) from Creation around 5500 BC. According to the Secrets of Enoch (33:1),
And I appointed the eighth day also, that the eighth day should be the first-created after my work, and that (the first seven) revolve in the form of the seventh thousand, and that at the beginning of the eighth thousand there should be a time of not-counting, endless, with neither years nor months nor weeks nor days nor hours.
I perceive the 16th century AD Gregorian calendar reform to be "right on schedule" and fulfill that Prophesy, as there were 11 days "skipped" which were not counted, in any year / month / week / day / hour.
Prima facie, human history on earth has been "railed" onto a "scheduled Prophetic itinerary" for 7500 years. "God in heaven" can accurately "shot call" human history down on earth 500 to 2000 years in advance, with a precision of at worst a year or two every few centuries.
Insofar as no Scripture makes mention of any "9th Biblical Day", so I would wager that Judgement Day (Rev 20:10 = 2 Pet 3:10) will occur between now (= Biblical Day count 7.5) and ~2500 AD (= Biblical Day count 8.0).
I think the false prophet is a man and the antichrist and it's history

It was an end-time prophecy.
Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
last days = end-time
The end-time began in the New Testament era of the book of Hebrews.
The papacy as described in Scripture began hundreds of years later, and ended in the 18th century.
It was an end-time prophecy.
The false prophet could be a man and the antichrist but then I wouldn't see Islam anywhere in the Bible so I think the system of Islam is called the false prophet after Mohammed.
This is a very sensitive issue. Saying nothing lets things get worse. Saying anything allows others to claim they feel "provoked".
According to 1400-year old Muslim tradition (docu-drama Fetih 1453), Muhammad prophesied that eventually Muslim armies would conquer Constantinople.
Such conquest occurred in 1453 AD, and Sultan Mehmet (Muhammad) the Conqueror has been viewed as the physical fulfillment of Muhammad's ancient prophesy for nearly 600 years.
According to a Preterist interpretation of Revelations, one may identify Christian emperor Constantine as the physical manifestation of the "Christian conqueror figure" (Rev 19) and the thousand-year Christian Byzantine empire of Constantinople (4th/5th-15th centuries AD) as the physical fulfillment of the Christian Millennium (Rev 20).
Accordingly, the conquest of Constantinople was Prophesied (implicitly) to Christians in Revelations and (somehow) to Muslims via Muhammad (explicitly). All the Abrahamic Prophesies align, and identify the armies of the Sultan as the Prophesied "agent" to end the Christian Millennium, unleash Evil, and usher in the End Time (Rev 20:7-9) of the Last Biblical Day (c.1500-2500 AD)... as Judgement Day (Rev 20:10+) is "stealthing in on final approach" (as it were).
Please note, that according to various A&E and History Channel documentaries, at the peak of their power in Europe (1450-1700 AD), from the conquest of Constantinople to the second Siege of Vienna, the Ottomans are known to have financially supported Protestants throughout "Germanic" central Europe (to undermine Catholics) & organized crime throughout "Slavic" eastern Europe (to undermine Orthodox Russia), whilst meanwhile outright reports of abject Satanism were widespread throughout all European communities (cp. Salem 1692 AD). Uncritically accepting the claims gives the appearance of a mentality, to the effect, that "Jihad (for the "Lord of worlds") justifies everything".
According to the above Preterist interpretation of Revelation, the same aligns precisely with other purported Abrahamic Prophesies, and identifies the Sultan's conquest of Constantinople as the scheduled physical manifestation of the extinguishment of the Christian Millennium and unleashing of Evil upon the planet (Rev 20:7).
From there, it also seems easy to identify other modern trends as the expected fulfillment of Rev 20:8-9 and related Scriptural passages. E.g. Protestant Lutheran Germany in WWI supported the rise of Communism in Russia, which it then dominated from 1917 thru Hitler's "surprise invasion until Afghanistan etc.
