The ten horns on the exceedingly dreadful beast represent ten kings. They are 1. Alemani (Germany), the 2. Franks (France), 3. Burgundians (Switzerland), the 4.Suevi (Portugal), the 5. Anglo-Saxons (Britian), the 6. Visigoths (Spain), The 7. Lombards (Italy), the 8. Vandals, 9. Ostrogoths, and 10. Heruli. The last three (the Vandals, Ostrogoths, and the Heruli) were destroyed by the Pope of Rome because they refused to become "Christians". The armies of Emperor Justinian, in cooperation with the Pope, thrust the Ostrogoths out of the city of Rome. They became extinct. In 538 AD the Pope took possession of the city after the Emperor decreed that the pope should be the head of all the Christian churches.
We all have our own beliefs about this, I shared mine and you yours and I am glad for you doing this. What you wrote to me sounds like the same prophecy that has been read to me from the time I can remember. The way (mostly everyone) has always seen it. The path will be narrow for the many, for few will find the gate. So all I know is I am responsible for me, my salvation and telling others my belief so that they might research and read to find their truth on their own. That's all I am doing. I have researched the scripture you just gave me as you gave it too me for many years when I was first saved. I walked away for a while and now I am glad I did, I feel as though I would have just believed what everyone else had found for themselves, without looking for myself (preconceived notion taught by others) Corinthians 11:3,4. Again I thank you for your input here.
