Following are six parallels that reveal the "little horn" of Daniel and the "beast" of Revelation are the same Antichrist power.

WHAT ARE BOTH POWERS GUILTY OF SPEAKING?

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. Daniel 7:25

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. Revelation 13:6

WITH WHOM DO BOTH MAKE WAR?

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. Daniel 7:21

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Revelation 13:7

BOTH SPEAK WHAT TYPE OF THINGS?

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....

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. Daniel 7:8, 20

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. Revelation 13:5

BOTH AROSE ABOUT THE TIME WHICH KINGDOM FELL?

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

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 7:23, 24

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Revelation 13:2

BOTH WERE TO REIGN SUPREME FOR HOW MANY YEARS?

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. Daniel 7:25

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that

they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. Revelation 12:6 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. Revelation 13:5 NOTE: The 42 months of prophecy equal 1260 days (42 months x 30 days = 1260 days). A time equals 360 days (30 days in a month times 12 months in a year), times equals 720 days (two times 360), and a dividing or half a time equals 180 days (one half of 360), making a total of 1260 prophetic days or literal years.

WHAT WAS TO HAPPEN AT THE END OF THE 1260 YEARS?

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. Daniel 7:25

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. Revelation 13:10 NOTE: The Bible gives 17 different distinguishing points that clearly identify this apostate power.

1. It is a power that was to arise during the time of the kingdoms which immediately followed Rome. Daniel 7:24.

2. It was to be a "diverse" or different power than any of the previous kingdoms. (That is to say it was to be a religious power as well as a political one.) Daniel 7:24.

3. It was to ascend the throne of the Caesars. Revelation 13:2.

4. It was to receive its power and authority from Rome. Revelation 13:2.

5. This power was to destroy three kingdoms in its rise to supremacy. Daniel 7:24.

6. It was to maintain its power for a period of 1260 years. Daniel 7:25.

7. At the end of the 1260 years, this power was to receive a "deadly wound." Revelation 13:3.

8. The "wound" would eventually be healed. Revelation 13:3, 12.

9. During this 1260 years it was to make war against God's people. Daniel 7:21.

10. It would speak "great things" against God. Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:5.

11. It was to be guilty of blasphemy. Daniel 7:25; Revelation 13:5, 6.

12. It would think itself able to change God's time and His law. Daniel 7:25.

13. The man at the head of this power exalts himself above God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

14. He claims to be God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

15. It would have the incriminating number 666, which is a man's number. Revelation13:18.

16. It would be an amazing world-wide power. Revelation 13:5

17. It shall deceive multitudes into accepting its "mark" and following her into perdition.Revelation 13:16; 14:9-10.

Keeping these 17 points in mind, we must, out of necessity, look into the past, about the time of the fall of Rome, to discover what power emerged as the successor of ancient Rome and fulfills all of these points of identification.
