horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." Rev. 13: 1.

heads or crowned horns, political ruler ship; waters, peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."
Rev. 17: 15.
"The beasts of Daniel and John are empires. The ten-horned beast is the Roman power. . . . The
head is the governing power of the body. The heads of this beast represent successive governments.' -"Romanism and the Reformation," by H. Grattan Guinness, pages 144, 145.
