In the great debate of world religions, many people point to the many atrocities done in the past in the name of Christianity, and they say, "See, Christianity isn't any better than any other religion." It is true that many sad things have happened in the name of Christianity. We cannot and should not deny that dark part of our history. However, Bible prophecy not only predicted that these things would come about, but also told us who was behind these things and why they happened. In order to gain a helpful understanding in response to our critics, we first need to understand one of the most prominent figures in the book of Revelation--The Little Horn of Daniel also called the Beast of Revelation.
The truth of the identity of this power is not only important prophetically and historically, it answers the accusations against Christianity's past. It also serves as a personal warning for us. When an organization or person begins to be concerned primarily about self-promotion instead of God's mission, they are opening themselves up to be used by the devil, like this church was. They didn't want to do wrong, but they compromised to the place where they didn't know right. Christianity did not persecute; Satan hijacked Christianity and persecuted.
