The United States in the Light of Prophecy

CHAPTER Six
14/15

This application is warranted by the facts already set forth respecting the horns of the other powers.

For (1) the two horns may belong to one beast, and denote union instead of division, as in the case of the ram, Daniel 8; and (2) a horn may denote a purely ecclesiastical element, as the little horn of Daniel's fourth beast; and (3) a horn may denote the civil power alone, as in the case of the first horn of the Grecian goat.
On the basis of these facts, we have these two elements, Republicanism and Protestantism here united in one government, and represented by two horns like the horns of a lamb.

And these are nowhere else to be found.
Nor have they appeared since the time when we could consistently look for the rise of the two-horned beast, in any nation upon the face of the earth except our own.
And with these horns there is no objection to be found.

They are like those of a lamb, the Bible symbol of purity and innocence.

The principles are all right.
