Text: "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns ." Daniel 7:7 Quote:    Ch. xvii. 12: "And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, such as have not yet received kingship, but receive authority as kings one hour with the monster." —For the existence of ten regal powers, some contemporaneous and some successive, within the area and period of the Western empire, I refer to the exposition of ch. xiii. 1.
