Was Nero the Little Horn? Daniel's Most Misunderstood Prophecy
About this episode
Who was the little horn of Daniel 7?
For generations, many Christians have identified Nero as the primary fulfillment of the beastly ruler who persecutes the saints. But does the text actually point somewhere else?
In this episode of The Millennial Medic, Jacob Glass examines Daniel's fourth beast, the ten horns, the Roman Empire, and the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Drawing connections between Daniel 7, Revelation 13, Revelation 17, and the Jewish War, he argues that Nero fits the wounded head and the number 666—but not the little horn itself. Jacob compares interpretations from John Calvin, Jay Rogers, and Phil Kayser while exploring the role of Titus, the siege of Jerusalem, and the spiritual powers operating behind earthly kingdoms.
Topics include:
• Daniel 7 explained
• The fourth beast of Daniel
• The little horn prophecy
• Nero and 666
• Titus and the destruction of Jerusalem
• Revelation 13 and Revelation 17
• The Roman Empire in biblical prophecy
• Partial preterism and eschatology
• A.D. 70 and the fall of Jerusalem
Whether you agree or disagree, this study will challenge common assumptions about one of the most debated prophecies in Scripture.
