Identity of the BEAST: The Uprooting

The Uprooting

"After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, 

--in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, 

--and a mouth speaking great things.
The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom [out of the Roman Empire]. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings. Daniel 7:7,8,24

--Scripture gives us a geographical place where the antichrist was to arise. 

--The antichrist was to arise among the ten divisions of the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire was divided into the following ten divisions between 351 ad and 476 A.D.
Anglo Saxons

Alamanni
Franks
Burgundians
Visigoths
Ostrogoths
Vandals
The Heruli
The Suevi
The Lombards
This little horn, the antichrist power, was “another” one, or “another” kingdom. (Verse 8, 24)
*The three horns plucked up by the roots represented the Heruli, the Ostrogoths, and the Vandals.... the Heruli were in 493; the Vandals in 534, and the Ostrogoths in 553."
