In PART #8, evidence was presented to the Jury regarding the similarity of DANIEL'S "Little Horn" and REVELATION'S "Dragon" / SATAN.
DANIEL TESTIFIED that a "Little Horn" would make war against the saints and prevail against them.
REVELATION TESTIFIED that it IS SATAN that would MAKE WAR against God's people.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
IS THERE A "LITTLE KING" that arose amid 10 Kingdoms and CAUSED THE DESTRUCTION of 3 of those 10 Kingdoms?
IS THIS "LITTLE KING" that CAME OUT OF ONE THE FOUR GREEK KINGDOMS that arose after "Alexander the Great's" death, SATAN?
9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land].
10 And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11 Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host(JESUS CHRIST), and BY HIM the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 And an host was given [him] against the daily [sacrifice] by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
We know from the testimony of "Documented Human History", that FOUR KINGDOMS DID ARISE out of "Alexander the Great's" death.
Those FOUR KINGDOMS were;
- Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt
- Seleucid Empire in the east
- Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor
- Macedon
According to Scriptural Prophecy, a "Little King" which was later identified as SATAN, was to rise up out of one of the four kingdoms that arose after "Alexander the Great's" death.
In REVELATION, Jesus tells John to send seven letters to the seven angels of the seven churches in Asia.
In REVELATION 2:13, Jesus HIMSELF tells us that SATAN'S SEAT is in Pergamos, which incidently was a city in the Kingdom of Pergamon.
13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, [even] where Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Let us now call "Documented Human History" to the witness stand that we may hear the TESTIMONY of Pergamon.
One of the “seven churches” was planted here (Rev. 1:11; 2:17).
It was noted for its wickedness, insomuch that our Lord says “Satan's seat” was there.
The church of Pergamos was rebuked for swerving from the truth and embracing the doctrines of Balaam and the Nicolaitanes.
Antipas, Christ's "faithful martyr," here sealed his testimony with his life.
This city stood on the edge of the river Caicus, about 20 miles from the sea.
It is now called Bergama.

Pergamos (also called Pergamon or Pergamum) was situated 60 kilometres past Smyrna along the ancient Roman postal road.
The name means "elevation" or "exalted."
Appropriately, the religious and cultural center of the city was on top of a conspicuous mount.
Pergamos inherited the ancient system of sun worship from Babylon.
According to Revelation 2:13, Pergamos was Satan's seat.
It was a center of ancient sun worship, and the place where the famous altar of Zeus stood on a terrace on the slopes of the mount.
The leader of Pergamos used the same ancient title and vestments as Babylonian priests.
The last pontiff(GOD DWELLING WITH HUMANS) king of Pergamos was Attalus III, who bequeathed his title to Rome in 133 BC, which "ended the history of Pergamum as an independent political entity."i
Today, the city of Bergama lies at the base of the mountain on which Pergamos once sat.
Daniel 8
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom,
when the transgressors are come to the full,
a king of fierce countenance, and understanding
dark sentences, shall stand up.
The Attalids, the descendants of Attalus, father of Philetaerus who came to power in 281 BC following the collapse of the Kingdom of Thrace, were among the most loyal supporters of Rome in the Hellenistic world.
Under Attalus I (241-197 BC), they allied with Rome against Philip V of Macedon,
When Attalus III (138-133 BC) died without an heir in 133 BC, he bequeathed the whole of Pergamon to Rome, in order to prevent a civil war.
According to Christian teaching and tradition, Pergamum is where Satan dwells and where his throne is.
The first bishop of Pergamon, Antipas, was martyred there in ca. 92 AD.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, earlier we heard DANIEL'S testimony that four kingdoms would arise OUT OF THE THIRD KINGDOM(GREECE).
We were also told that a "Little King" would arise out of one of those four kingdoms.
Documented human History also testified that four kingdoms DID ARISE out of Greece after the death of "Alexander the Great".
Documented human History also testified that one of those kingdoms was PERGAMON.
REVELATION testified that Pergamon / Pergamos was where SATAN DWELLS.
Documented human History also testified that PEGAMON / PERGAMOS was NOT CONQUERED by the ROMAN EMPIRE.
PERGAMON / "SATAN'S SEAT" WAS GIVEN to the ROMAN EMPIRE in 133 B.C..
In the next post we will examine the Roman Empire and this "Little King" / SATAN.

8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land].
10 And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

The Attalid kingdom was the rump state left after the collapse of the Kingdom of Thrace.Daniel 8
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom,
when the transgressors are come to the full,
a king of fierce countenance, and understanding
dark sentences, shall stand up.
The Attalids, the descendants of Attalus, father of Philetaerus who came to power in 281 BC following the collapse of the Kingdom of Thrace, were among the most loyal supporters of Rome in the Hellenistic world.
Under Attalus I (241-197 BC), they allied with Rome against Philip V of Macedon,
- during the first and second Macedonian Wars,
- and again under Eumenes II (197-158 BC),
- against Perseus of Macedon, during the Third Macedonian War.
When Attalus III (138-133 BC) died without an heir in 133 BC, he bequeathed the whole of Pergamon to Rome, in order to prevent a civil war.
