DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                            ~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

                                             Chapter 7 – The Four Beasts
                   that were eradicated from before the pope


               out of the list first given; namely, the Heruli


               under  Odoacer,  the  Vandals,  and  the


               Ostrogoths.” — Vol. III, p. 152, note 1.




               Although he prefers the second list, in which


               he  puts  the  Lombards  instead  of  the  Heruli,


               the  foregoing  is  good  testimony  that  if  we


               make  the  enumeration  of  the  ten  kingdoms


               while  the  Heruli  were  a  ruling  power,  they


               were one of the horns which were plucked up.



               From the historical testimony above cited, we


               think  it  clearly  established  that  the  three


               horns  plucked  up  were  the  powers  named;


               viz., the Heruli in A. D. 493, the Vandals in 534,


               and the Ostrogoths in 538.




               1.  “He  shall  speak  great  words  against  the


               Most High.” Has the papacy done this? Look at


               a  few  of  the  pope’s  self-accepted  titles:
