NOTE.
FROM the definiteness of the enquiries concerning the fourth beast and the ten horns, and especially concerning the little horn, it is evident that this part of the vision made the deepest impression upon the mind of the prophet. Here, then, we may expect to find the objective point of the vision. The first three kingdoms serve as so many stepping stones to reach and locate the fourth kingdom. The little horn is closely identified with the fourth beast, and yet it has an independent history and work. The career of the little horn in its work of opposition to the establishment of the fifth kingdom, the kingdom of the Most High, is presented with a fulness of description which makes it clear that this is the main theme of the vision.
