00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.140
it<00:31:08.180><c> shall</c><00:31:08.500><c> tread</c><00:31:08.779><c> it</c><00:31:09.039><c> down</c><00:31:09.259><c> and</c><00:31:09.519><c> break</c><00:31:09.779><c> it</c><00:31:09.980><c> in</c><00:31:10.200><c> pieces.</c>

00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.779
And<00:31:12.380><c> the</c><00:31:12.599><c> ten</c><00:31:12.799><c> horns</c><00:31:13.140><c> out</c><00:31:13.400><c> of</c><00:31:13.539><c> this</c><00:31:13.779><c> kingdom</c><00:31:14.220><c> are</c><00:31:15.000><c> ten</c><00:31:15.380><c> kings</c>

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.839
that<00:31:16.019><c> shall</c><00:31:16.240><c> arise,</c>

00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:22.420
and<00:31:18.000><c> another</c><00:31:18.519><c> shall</c><00:31:18.880><c> arise</c><00:31:19.299><c> after</c><00:31:19.720><c> them,</c><00:31:20.180><c> and</c><00:31:21.200><c> he</c><00:31:21.660><c> shall</c><00:31:22.000><c> be</c>

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:24.799
different<00:31:22.940><c> from</c><00:31:23.480><c> the</c><00:31:23.799><c> first.</c>

00:31:25.579 --> 00:31:29.079
Now<00:31:25.859><c> here's</c><00:31:26.240><c> a</c><00:31:26.420><c> mark</c><00:31:26.599><c> of</c><00:31:26.900><c> identification,</c><00:31:27.839><c> brothers</c><00:31:27.940><c> and</c><00:31:28.180><c> sisters.</c>

00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:34.559
This<00:31:30.440><c> little</c><00:31:30.880><c> horn</c><00:31:31.299><c> is</c><00:31:32.539><c> different</c><00:31:33.059><c> from</c><00:31:33.299><c> all</c><00:31:33.559><c> the</c><00:31:33.779><c> others.</c>

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:39.839
It<00:31:35.539><c> is</c><00:31:35.859><c> portrayed</c><00:31:36.420><c> as</c><00:31:36.700><c> different</c><00:31:36.980><c> by</c><00:31:37.279><c> the</c><00:31:37.500><c> fact</c><00:31:37.660><c> that</c><00:31:37.819><c> it's</c><00:31:38.079><c> got</c><00:31:38.279><c> eyes</c><00:31:38.660><c> and</c><00:31:38.839><c> a</c><00:31:39.000><c> mouth.</c>

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.279
But<00:31:41.059><c> Daniel</c><00:31:41.460><c> is</c><00:31:41.740><c> now</c><00:31:42.079><c> told</c><00:31:42.380><c> to</c><00:31:42.779><c> notice</c><00:31:43.240><c> that</c><00:31:43.519><c> it</c><00:31:43.720><c> is</c><00:31:43.920><c> different.</c>

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.779
So<00:31:44.980><c> we've</c><00:31:45.380><c> got</c><00:31:45.480><c> to</c><00:31:45.579><c> go</c><00:31:45.799><c> back</c><00:31:46.019><c> now</c><00:31:46.359><c> to</c><00:31:46.640><c> the</c><00:31:46.900><c> decorum</c><00:31:47.440><c> of</c><00:31:47.680><c> this</c><00:31:47.880><c> symbol.</c>

00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:52.799
It's<00:31:49.839><c> an</c><00:31:50.059><c> animal,</c><00:31:51.099><c> and</c><00:31:51.259><c> even</c><00:31:51.460><c> though</c><00:31:51.680><c> it's</c><00:31:51.940><c> a</c><00:31:52.140><c> horrible</c><00:31:52.440><c> and</c><00:31:52.680><c> a</c>

00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:54.420
hideous<00:31:53.180><c> deformity</c><00:31:53.799><c> of</c><00:31:53.980><c> an</c><00:31:54.200><c> animal,</c>

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:58.799
it's<00:31:54.960><c> still</c><00:31:55.180><c> an</c><00:31:55.400><c> animal,</c><00:31:56.200><c> and</c><00:31:56.940><c> it's</c><00:31:57.299><c> invested</c><00:31:57.700><c> with</c><00:31:58.000><c> ten</c><00:31:58.279><c> horns</c><00:31:58.619><c> in</c>

00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:00.119
the<00:31:58.960><c> first</c><00:31:59.180><c> place.</c>

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:03.140
What<00:32:00.980><c> do</c><00:32:01.220><c> animals</c><00:32:01.559><c> use</c><00:32:01.900><c> horns</c><00:32:02.240><c> for?</c>

00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:08.579
Well,<00:32:05.220><c> they</c><00:32:05.420><c> use</c><00:32:05.680><c> them</c><00:32:06.079><c> sometimes</c><00:32:06.700><c> to</c><00:32:06.980><c> extend</c><00:32:07.359><c> their</c><00:32:07.720><c> territory,</c>

00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:11.619
sometimes<00:32:09.700><c> to</c><00:32:09.980><c> defend</c><00:32:10.359><c> their</c><00:32:10.700><c> territory.</c>

00:32:12.019 --> 00:32:17.880
So<00:32:12.660><c> the</c><00:32:12.859><c> very</c><00:32:13.319><c> basic</c><00:32:13.920><c> idea</c><00:32:14.559><c> of</c><00:32:14.900><c> horns</c><00:32:15.180><c> upon</c><00:32:15.539><c> this</c><00:32:15.839><c> beast</c><00:32:16.299><c> is</c><00:32:17.240><c> that</c><00:32:17.480><c> it</c>

00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:20.319
represents<00:32:18.839><c> power.</c>

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:25.740
And<00:32:21.240><c> everywhere</c><00:32:21.700><c> in</c><00:32:21.920><c> the</c><00:32:22.059><c> Bible</c><00:32:22.339><c> where</c><00:32:22.660><c> a</c><00:32:22.920><c> horn</c><00:32:23.160><c> is</c><00:32:23.559><c> used</c><00:32:23.940><c> symbolically,</c><00:32:24.799><c> brothers</c><00:32:24.900><c> and</c><00:32:25.140><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:28.839
whether<00:32:26.440><c> it's</c><00:32:26.720><c> a</c><00:32:26.839><c> good</c><00:32:27.099><c> power</c><00:32:27.420><c> or</c><00:32:27.720><c> a</c><00:32:27.920><c> bad</c><00:32:28.220><c> power,</c>

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:33.079
you<00:32:29.500><c> will</c><00:32:29.740><c> always</c><00:32:30.180><c> find</c><00:32:30.579><c> that</c><00:32:30.799><c> it</c><00:32:31.000><c> does</c><00:32:31.500><c> represent</c><00:32:32.319><c> and</c><00:32:32.819><c> have</c>

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:35.279
the<00:32:33.359><c> idea</c><00:32:33.880><c> of</c><00:32:34.200><c> a</c><00:32:34.460><c> power.</c>

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:38.359
Now<00:32:36.619><c> here</c><00:32:36.880><c> are</c><00:32:37.099><c> ten</c><00:32:37.339><c> horns.</c>

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:41.200
They've<00:32:38.740><c> come</c><00:32:38.960><c> up</c><00:32:39.140><c> on</c><00:32:39.319><c> the</c><00:32:39.519><c> head</c><00:32:39.619><c> of</c><00:32:39.799><c> the</c><00:32:39.920><c> Roman</c><00:32:40.259><c> beast.</c>

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:45.680
We<00:32:41.700><c> are</c><00:32:41.980><c> told</c><00:32:42.180><c> in</c><00:32:42.380><c> verse</c><00:32:42.619><c> 24,</c><00:32:43.880><c> they</c><00:32:43.960><c> are</c><00:32:44.200><c> ten</c><00:32:44.539><c> kings.</c>

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:48.200
They<00:32:46.519><c> are</c><00:32:46.759><c> ten</c><00:32:47.140><c> powers.</c>

00:32:48.940 --> 00:32:53.559
Then<00:32:49.200><c> an</c><00:32:49.460><c> eleventh</c><00:32:49.799><c> one</c><00:32:50.019><c> comes</c><00:32:50.359><c> up,</c><00:32:51.299><c> and</c><00:32:51.559><c> that</c><00:32:51.839><c> also</c><00:32:52.240><c> is</c><00:32:52.500><c> a</c><00:32:52.720><c> power.</c>

00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:56.759
But<00:32:54.640><c> it</c><00:32:55.119><c> is</c><00:32:55.380><c> a</c><00:32:55.420><c> different</c><00:32:55.779><c> power.</c>

00:32:57.299 --> 00:33:00.420
Not<00:32:57.579><c> only</c><00:32:57.900><c> is</c><00:32:58.160><c> the</c><00:32:58.359><c> whole</c><00:32:58.680><c> beast</c><00:32:59.059><c> different</c><00:32:59.559><c> from</c><00:32:59.880><c> the</c><00:33:00.160><c> three</c>

which<00:33:00.759><c> preceded</c><00:33:01.259><c> it,</c>

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:07.720
but<00:33:02.539><c> this</c><00:33:02.980><c> eleventh</c><00:33:03.480><c> horn</c><00:33:03.880><c> is</c><00:33:04.160><c> different</c><00:33:04.559><c> from</c><00:33:04.880><c> the</c><00:33:05.140><c> ten</c><00:33:05.400><c> which</c><00:33:05.720><c> preceded</c><00:33:06.259><c> it.</c>

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:11.980
How<00:33:08.980><c> many</c><00:33:09.240><c> kinds</c><00:33:09.579><c> of</c><00:33:09.859><c> power</c><00:33:10.259><c> do</c><00:33:10.480><c> you</c><00:33:10.700><c> know</c><00:33:11.000><c> about</c><00:33:11.440><c> in</c><00:33:11.799><c> the</c>

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:19.599
Brother<00:33:17.200><c> and</c><00:33:17.440><c> sisters,</c><00:33:18.160><c> there's</c><00:33:18.259><c> only</c><00:33:18.619><c> two.</c>

There's<00:33:22.900><c> religious</c><00:33:23.299><c> power,</c><00:33:24.380><c> and</c><00:33:24.519><c> there's</c><00:33:24.720><c> political</c><00:33:25.180><c> power.</c>

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:29.519

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:33.240
Oh<00:33:30.319><c> yes,</c><00:33:30.539><c> there's</c><00:33:30.759><c> all</c><00:33:30.960><c> different</c><00:33:31.339><c> colors</c><00:33:31.720><c> of</c><00:33:31.960><c> political</c><00:33:32.380><c> power</c><00:33:32.819><c> and</c>

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:45.200
And<00:33:40.400><c> see</c><00:33:40.579><c> what</c><00:33:40.799><c> the</c><00:33:41.200><c> prophecy</c><00:33:41.519><c> here</c><00:33:41.900><c> of</c><00:33:42.099><c> the</c><00:33:42.319><c> Apostle</c><00:33:42.720><c> Paul</c><00:33:43.259><c> has</c><00:33:43.940><c> to</c><00:33:44.259><c> say.</c>

00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:48.599
Remember,<00:33:46.720><c> brother</c><00:33:46.779><c> and</c><00:33:47.019><c> sisters,</c><00:33:47.380><c> that</c><00:33:47.599><c> the</c><00:33:47.839><c> details</c><00:33:48.339><c> that</c>

00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:05.559
It's<00:40:02.800><c> a</c><00:40:02.940><c> term</c><00:40:03.159><c> that</c><00:40:03.400><c> we</c><00:40:03.719><c> use</c><00:40:03.920><c> in</c><00:40:04.159><c> the</c><00:40:04.320><c> game</c><00:40:04.519><c> of</c><00:40:04.719><c> tennis</c><00:40:05.039><c> today,</c>
