A Closer Look at the Little Horn – Daniel 8

In this vision, Daniel is shown a more detailed view of the Little Horn, the Antichrist, who was introduced in chapter 7. It is vital for us to once again see that God is sovereign over the nations. The man of sin will arise and conquer, but his time is short, as decreed by the Lord.

The Sovereignty of God Over the Nations

In Daniel's vision, we once again see this great theme of God's sovereignty over the nations and over all of history. We also look at Scriptures which elaborate on the identity of the "little horn."

The Lord Shut the Lions’ Mouths

We must not be duped into trusting in man. It is the Lord who shut the lions' mouths for Daniel and it is the Lord who gives His people victory.
