Characteristics of the Little Horn / The Two Beasts

We have already made a comparison between the little horn and the beast revealed in Revelation 13. Both the prophet Daniel and the apostle John were referring to the same power. Now we will see the description of this power and the description of the second beast that emerges from land not water. In the next study I will apply these characteristics to an actual power to determine who they represent. It is of great important to know this because it will gain power in the near future, for the end is near.
