This “Beast” is the “little horn” of Daniel 7:24-26 and “desolator” of Daniel 9:27 the “abomination of desolation” of Matthew 24:15 the “man of sin” of 2 Thessalonians 2:4-8 earth’s last and most awful tyrant, Satan’s fell instrument of wrath and hatred against God and the Jewish saints. He is, perhaps, identical with the rider on the white horse of Revelation 6:2 who begins by the peaceful conquest of three of the ten kingdoms into which the former Roman empire will then be divided, but who soon establishes the ecclesiastical and governmental tyranny described in Dan. 7., 9., 11.; Re 13. To him Satan gives the power which he offered to Christ. ; Matthew 4:8,9; Revelation 13:4. See “The great tribulation,” Psalms 2:5.
