The eagle-winged lion signifies the Chaldean Empire, which was\u00a0rapid and mighty like an eagle to pounce upon the\u00a0enemy. The bear represents the \u201cMadai-Paris\u201d or the Medo-Persian Empire, which extended its conquests as\u00a0far as the Adriatic Sea and Ethiopia, thus holding with\u00a0its teeth a rib from the body of each one of the three\u00a0continents of the Eastern Hemisphere.\u00a0 The third beast,\u00a0from its tigrish nature of swift bounds and fierceness,\u00a0typifies the triumphant marches of Alexander the Great,\u00a0whose vast empire was, after his death, divided into four\u00a0kingdoms\u2026.The (fourth) beast is practically a monster\u00a0and a huge demon. This is the formidable Roman\u00a0Empire. The ten horns are the ten Emperors of Rome\u00a0who persecuted the early Christians. Turn the pages of \u00a0 any Church history for the first three centuries down to\u00a0the time of the so-called conversion of Constantine the\u00a0Great, and you will read nothing but the horrors of the\u00a0famous \u201cTen Persecutions.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u2026..all these wild beasts were the enemies of the \u201choly\u00a0people of God,\u201d as the old Israel and the early followers\u00a0of the Gospels were called. For they alone had the true\u00a0knowledge, the scriptures and the revelation of God.\u00a0 These wild beasts persecuted and massacred the people\u00a0of God. But the nature and the character of the Little\u00a0Horn which sprang up on the head of the fourth monster\u00a0was so different from that of the other animals, that God\u00a0Himself had, as it were, to come down and establish His\u00a0throne in the firmament, to judge and condemn to\u00a0destruction the fourth animal; to summon His presence\u00a0the Bar Nasha \u2013\u201cSon of Man\u201d\u2013 and to make him the\u00a0Sultan of men; for the words <\/span><i style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">sholtana, yaqar, malkutha<\/i><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">,\u00a0which signify respectively the \u201cempire, honour,\u00a0kingdom\u201d of all the peoples and nations, were granted to\u00a0him (Daniel 7:14) and to the \u201cpeople of the Saints of the\u00a0 Most High (Dan. 7:27).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It will be noticed that the son of Man is nobler than,\u00a0and superior to, the beasts, so the religion which he\u00a0professed and established is infinitely holier than that of\u00a0the Little Horn.<br \/>\nNow let us examine and see who the Little Horn is.\u00a0 Having once definitely ascertained the identity of this\u00a0eleventh king, the identity of the Bar Nasha (Son of \u00a0 Man) will be settled <i>per se<\/i>. The Little Horn springs up\u00a0after the Ten Persecutions under the reigns of the\u00a0emperors of the Roman power. The empire was writhing\u00a0under four rivals, Constantine being one of them. They\u00a0were all struggling for the purple; the other three died or\u00a0fell in battle; and Constantine was left alone as the\u00a0supreme sovereign of the vast empire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The early Christian commentators have in vain\u00a0laboured to identify this ugly Little Horn with the Anti-Christ, with the Pope of Rome by Protestants, and with\u00a0the Founder of Islam. (God forbid!) But the later Biblical\u00a0critics are at a loss to solve the problem of the fourth beast, which they wish to identify with the Greek Empire and the Little Horn with Antiochus. Some of the critics\u00a0e.g. Carpenter, consider the Medo-Persian as two separate kingdoms. But this empire was not more two\u00a0than the late Austro-Hungarian Empire was. The\u00a0explorations carried on by the Scientific Mission of the\u00a0French savant, M. Morgan in Shushan (Susa) and\u00a0elsewhere leave no doubt on this point. The fourth beast can, therefore, be no other than the old Roman world.<br \/>\nTo show that the Little Horn is no other than\u00a0Constantine the Great, the following arguments can\u00a0 safely be advanced:\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <i>(a)<\/i> He overcame Maximian and the other two\u00a0rivals and assumed the purple, and put an end to the\u00a0persecution of Christianity.

He pretended to profess Christianity but\u00a0was never baptized till a little before his death, and even\u00a0this is a disputed question. The legend that his\u00a0conversion was due to the vision of the Cross in the sky\u00a0has long since \u2013like the account about Jesus inserted in\u00a0the <i>Antiquities<\/i> of Josephus\u2013 <span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">been exploded as another\u00a0piece of forgery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The enmity of the beasts to the believers in God was\u00a0brutal and savage, but that of the rational Horn was\u00a0diabolical and malignant. This enmity was most noxious\u00a0and harmful to the religion, because it was directed to\u00a0pervert the truth and the faith. All the previous attacks of\u00a0the four empires were pagan; they persecuted and\u00a0oppressed the believers but could not pervert the truth\u00a0and the faith. It was this Constantine who entered in the\u00a0fold of Jesus in the shape of a believer and in the clothes\u00a0of a sheep, but inwardly he was not a true believer at all.\u00a0 How poisonous and pernicious this enmity was will be\u00a0seen from the following:\u2013\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <i>(c)<\/i> The Horn-Emperor speaks \u201cbig things\u201d or\u00a0 \u201cgreat words\u201d (<i>rorbhan <\/i>in the Chaldean language) against the Most High.

If it be other than Constantine, then the \u00a0 question arises, who is he? He ahs already come and gone, and not an impostor or the Anti-Christ hereafter to appear, that we may be unable to know and identify. If we do not admit that the Horn in question has come already, then how are we to interpret the four beasts, the first of which is certainly the Chaldean Empire, the second the Medo-Persian, and so forth? If the fourth beast does not represent the Roman Empire, how can we \u00a0\u00a0 interpret the third, with its four heads, as the Empire of Alexander, split into four kingdoms after his death? Is there any other Power succeeding the Greek Empire before the Roman Empire with its ten potentates \u00a0 persecuting the believers in God? Sophistry and illusion\u00a0 are of no use. The \u201cLittle Horn\u201d is decidedly Constantine, even if we may deny the prophecy of Daniel. It is immaterial whether a prophet, priests or a sorcerer wrote the seventh chapter of the Book of Daniel. One thing is certain, that its predictions and descriptions of the events, some twenty-four centuries ago, are found to be exact, true, and have been fulfilled in the person of Constantine the Great, whom the Church of Rome has always very wisely abstained from beatifying as a Saint, as the Greek Church has done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <i>(d)<\/i> Not only does the \u201cLittle Horn,\u201d grew into something of a more \u201cformidable vision\u201d than the rest, speak impious words against the Most High, but also it wages war against the \u201cSaints of the Most High, and vanquishes them\u201d (Daniel 7:25). In the eyes of a Hebrew Prophet the people who believed in one God was a <i>separate<\/i> and <i>holy people<\/i>. Now it is indisputably true that Constantine persecuted those Christians who, like the Jews, believed in the absolute Unity of God and courageously declared the Trinity to be a false and erroneous conception of the Deity. More than a thousand ecclesiastics were summoned to the general Council at Nicea (the modern Izmid), of whom only three hundred and eighteen persons subscribed to the decisions of the Council, and these too formed three opposite factions with their respective ambiguous and unholy expressions of \u201chomusion\u201d or \u201chomoousion,\u201d \u201cconsubstantial,\u201d and other terms utterly and wholly strangers to the Prophets of Israel, but only worthy of the \u201cSpeaking Horn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Christians who suffered persecutions and martyrdoms under the pagan emperors of Rome because they believed in One God and in His servant Jesus were now doomed by the imperial edict of the \u201cChristian\u201d Constantine to even severer tortures because they refused to adore the servant Jesus as consubstantial and coeval with his Lord and Creator!

The abrogation of the Sabbath day was a direct violation of the fourth command of the Decalogue, and the institution of Sunday instead was as arbitrary as it is inimical. True, the Qur\u2019an abrogated the Sabbath day, not because the Friday was a holier day, but simply because the Jews made an abuse of it by declaring that God, after the labour of six days, reposed on the seventh day, as if He were man and was fatigued. \u00a0<span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"> Muhammad would have destroyed any day or object, however holy or sacred, if it were made an object of worship intending to deal a blow or injury to God\u2019s greatness and glory.<\/span> But the abrogation of the Sabbath by the decree of Constantine was for the institution of the Sunday on which Jesus is alleged to have risen from the sepulchre.

Shi\u2018bah mentions the last ten verses of <i>The Cave <\/i>instead of the first ten (AD. 36:12).<br \/>\nNow in the first and the last sections of this chapter the Christian doctrine of the divinity of Jesus is condemned. In the first section a warning is given to those who say <i>Allah has taken to Himself a son <\/i>(v. 4), in the last two to those who <i>take My servants to be friends besides Me <\/i>(v. 102), and this doctrine, the doctrine of sonship and of the divinity of a servant of God, is the basic doctrine of the Christian religion. Moreover, in the concluding ten verses, a true description of the occupation of Christian nations is given in the words <i>whose effort goes astray in this world\u2019s life <\/i>(v. 104). The Holy Qur\u2019an does not speak of the appearance of Dajjal, or Antichrist, anywhere, but the Prophet\u2019s saying quoted above plainly shows that the Dajjal of the Hadith is the same as the upholders of the erroneous Christian doctrine of the sonship and divinity of Jesus Christ. <span style=\"background: yellow;\">Christianity, in its present form, being opposed to the true teachings of Christ, is thus the only Antichrist known to the Qur\u2019an.<\/span> It may be added that Dajjal signifies <i>one who conceals the truth with falsehood, <\/i>or <i>a liar <\/i>or <i>a great deceiver <\/i>(LL \u2013Arabic English Lexicon by Edward William lane).\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The Christian Church with its Anti-Christ doctrines <span style=\"color: purple;\">\u2013Trinity, inherited sin, and vicarious atonement\u2013<\/span> which Christ did not teach, is the Anti-Christ!
