I beheld then because of the voice of the great words
which
the horn spake
Or, "from the voice" F20; from the time it was heard, the
prophet continued looking to see what would be the issue of all
this; especially from the time he heard the little horn speak
such blasphemous things against God, and Christ, and his people,
which were so intolerable, that he concluded some notice would be
taken of them in a way of correction and punishment; and the
rather, when he saw the Judge appear with so much majesty and
grandeur, and all things prepared for a judicial process: I
beheld even till the beast was slain;
the fourth beast, the Roman monarchy, to which a period will be
put, and be utterly abolished in every form and shape, and with
it the little horn or Papacy; when the beast on which the whore
of Rome sits and rules, and by whom she is supported, will go
into perdition; and she herself shall be made desolate and naked,
her flesh eaten, and she burned with fire by the ten horns, or
kings, that shall rise up against her, being filled with hatred
to her, ( Revelation
17:3 Revelation
17:8 Revelation
17:16 ) : and his body destroyed, and given to the
burning flame;
when Rome with all its power and wealth shall cease, and be no
more, the whole body of the antichristian states shall perish;
the city of Rome shall be burnt with fire; the beast and false
prophet shall be taken and cast into a lake of fire, burning with
brimstone, ( Revelation
18:8 ) ( 19:20 ) .
