"And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise." This number is determined in heaven which is established by the red dragon, "and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."(Re.13:2) . This horn is an usurper that replaces three other kings before him so his overreach covers the whole world. "And shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.. Out of the fourth beast issues world wide web but it is only a tool for Satan to wield his stranglehold. 'King' is a label for leader of men, who runs his authority on the earth, and is of flesh and blood.
"I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me." Daniel reports what one of the bystanders in the court of the Ancient of days divulged. Those who attend the Law seated on the fiery throne is well appraised of the matter and sworn to secrecy. So Daniel shall be told only what he need to know. This we shall understand from the short colloquy, "And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?/And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."(12:8-9)
Coming back to the ten horns, the real power comes, "and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority." The Number Ten connects with the Law so the Decalogue is a digest of the Law, which Jesus further reduced to two. "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matt.22:40 Without the first the second was useless. In short the command number has put the nation of Israel under judgment. Their works without the first placed them as servants to sin. In Re.ch.17 we read "And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns."
