This little horn of Daniel 8 does not symbolize Antiochus<br />

Epiphanes, but it does symbolize Rome. To prove this is<br />

easy. If people would only treat interpretations of prophecy<br />

as they treat bank-bills, that is, compare them with<br />

the detector to see if they are genuine, there would be no<br />

trouble. The only wonder is that any one could ever have<br />

supposed the application to Antiochus to be correct. p.<br />

155, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

The proposition here affirmed, then, is that the little<br />

horn of Daniel 8 does not symbolize Antiochus, but does<br />

symbolize Rome, because,-- p. 155, Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

1. This horn came out of one of the four horns of the<br />

goat. Verse 9. It was therefore another horn separate and<br />

distinct from any of the four. One of these four horns, as<br />

we have seen, was the kingdom of Syria, founded by Seleucus,<br />

from whom sprung the famous line of kings known in<br />

history as the "Seleucidae." Of these there were twentysix,<br />

in order as follows:-- p. 155, Para. 3, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

(1) Seleucus Nicator, (2) Antiochus Soter, (3) Antiochus<br />

Theus, (4) Seleucus Callinicus, (5) Seleucus Ceraunus, (6)<br />

Antiochus the Great, (7) Seleucus Philopater, (8) Antiochus<br />

Epiphanes, (9) Antiochus Eupator, (10) Demetrius Soter,<br />

(11) Alexander Bala, (12) Demetrius Nicator, (13) Antiochus<br />

Theos, (14) Antiochus Sidetes, (15) Zebia, (16) Seleucus,<br />

son of Nicator, (17) Antiochus Grypus, (18) Antiochus the<br />

Cyzicenian, (19) Seleucus, the son of Grypus, (20) Antiochus<br />

Eusebes, (21) Antiochus, second son of Grypus, (22)<br />

Philip, third son of Grypus, (23) Demetrius Eucheres, (24)<br />

Antiochus Dionysius, (25) Tigranes, (26) Antiochus Asiaticus,<br />

who was the last of the Seleucidae, and who, after an<br />

insignificant reign of four years, was driven from his dominions<br />

by Pompey, the Roman, B.C. 65, and Syria made a Roman<br />

province. p. 155, Para. 4, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

It will thus be seen that Antiochus Epiphanes was simply<br />

one of the twenty-six kings who constituted the Syrian horn<br />

of the goat. He was for the time being that horn; hence he<br />

could not be at the same time a separate and independent<br />

power, or another remarkable horn, as the little horn was.<br />

p. 156, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

Rome was such a separate horn, and, from the standpoint of
