Daniel 7:24 verified that these horns symbolized kings. . . . The “little” king was initially “appointed” to the office of the President of the United States by men with great power and enormous authority. They entered into an agreement of quid pro quo with him to fulfill his official purpose: to give them oil and to blaspheme the name of God, Yahweh. To fulfill his promise (or oath) to those who “appointed” him, he had to set in motion the scenario whereby three powerful kings would be plucked by their roots. These three kings (or rulers) were in office when his father served as President.
