Note; Can a Juror determine truth without hearing ALL of the evidence? It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that one hear ALL of the evidence, beginning with Part #1 of these posts!
In PART# 13, the JURY heard the Testimony of "Documented Human History" regarding ancient Roman Culture in our efforts to identify Daniel's "Little Horn".
Let us call "Documented Human History" to the Witness Stand that the JURY may hear the TESTIMONY OF A 2300 year old "unbroken" PAGAN ROMAN TITLE OF SUPREME RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY.
Earlier, the JURY heard Testimony;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Rome
Towards the end of the Roman Republic, the citizens of Rome grew restless and desired a single entity to rule over them.
Rome became an "Imperial" state, WITH AN EMPEROR in 146 BC. (13 years before "Satan's Seat" was given to Rome)
The JURY SHOULD NOTE that the Roman Emperor DID NOT rise up out of Rome AFTER "Satan's Seat" was GIVEN to Rome, but 13 years earlier.
BEGINNING WITH AUGUSTUS about 27 BC, the Emperor(Pontifex Maximus) was declared a God, and the Senate was reduced to an advisory body appointed by the Emperor.

With the accession of Augustus, the election of the Pontifex Maximus ceased as each successive emperor held the office. (Emperor list)
The JURY SHOULD NOTE that when the Title "Pontifex Maximus" was assumed by the ROMAN Catholic Church, the election of the Pontifex Maximus resumed, even unto this day.
The word "pontifex" later became a term used for Christian bishops, including the Bishop of Rome, and the title of "Pontifex Maximus" was applied within the Roman Catholic Church to the Pope as its chief bishop.
Its last use with reference to the emperors is in inscriptions of Gratian (reigned 375–383) who, however, then decided to omit the words "pontifex maximus" from his title.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, You have heard the TESTIMONY of a Roman PAGAN "TITLE" of religious authority that has remained "unbroken" since Rome became the UNDISPUTED World Superpower in 281 BC.
Political Rome may have received it's "deadly head wound" hundreds of years ago.
The Supreme ROMAN Title of religious authority; Pontifex Maximus LIVED ON to RISE UP OUT OF A DIMINISHING ROME;
AND IN THIS DAY AND AGE;
- This RELIGIOUS KING is considered by those in his "diverse"(RELIGIOUS) World Superpower Kingdom";
as EQUAL WITH JESUS CHRIST.
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
There are those that believe that the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel 8 are "LITERAL" days.
But one must understand that there are a whole lot more than 2300 "literal" days between 70 AD(end daily sacrifice) and 321 AD (transgression that makes desolation)
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT ONE FULLY COMPREHEND;
THERE IS ONLY ONE WORLD SUPERPOWER LEADER
PAST OR PRESENT
THAT MEETS EVERY SINGLE SCRIPTURAL QUALIFIER OF THE "Little Horn"
WITHOUT EXCEPTION!
The TITLE "Pontifex Maximus" is the ONLY 2300 YEAR OLD Key that ties all of "Documented Human History" to the described actions of the "Little Horn".
In the next Post, the Jury will hear further testimony that examines the "History and Actions of the Pontifex Maximus" compared to the description of DANIEL'S "Little Horn".

- According to the usual interpretation, the term pontifex literally means "bridge-builder" (pons + facere); "maximus" literally means "greatest".
- "Pontifex Maximus" literally means "Greatest Bridge Builder" between PAGAN GODS and Humans.
- The people knew the king as a mediator between them and the gods (cf. Latin pontifex "bridge-builder", in this sense, between man and the gods) and thus viewed the king with religious awe.
- The ROMAN REPUBLIC was established in 509 BC when last Roman king was deposed.
Towards the end of the Roman Republic, the citizens of Rome grew restless and desired a single entity to rule over them.

The JURY SHOULD NOTE that when the Title "Pontifex Maximus" was assumed by the ROMAN Catholic Church, the election of the Pontifex Maximus resumed, even unto this day.
- A distinctly religious office under the early Roman Republic, it gradually became politicized until, beginning with Augustus, it was subsumed into the Imperial office.
However, it was always understood in its symbolic sense as well: the pontifices were the ones who smoothed the "bridge" between gods and men (Van Haeperen).
The word "pontifex" later became a term used for Christian bishops, including the Bishop of Rome, and the title of "Pontifex Maximus" was applied within the Roman Catholic Church to the Pope as its chief bishop.
Its last use with reference to the emperors is in inscriptions of Gratian (reigned 375–383) who, however, then decided to omit the words "pontifex maximus" from his title.
- In 382 AD, when the Eastern emperor Theodosius established "Catholic Christianity" as the official religion of the empire, the Western Emperor Gratian relinquished the office to the Christian Popes of Rome, who have held it since that time.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, You have heard the TESTIMONY of a Roman PAGAN "TITLE" of religious authority that has remained "unbroken" since Rome became the UNDISPUTED World Superpower in 281 BC.
- Originally, during the PAGAN ROMAN KINGDOM, held by the Roman Kings.
- In the PAGAN ROMAN EMPIRE, held by the "Highest Pagan Priest".
- In the PAGAN ROMAN IMPERIAL STATE, eventually granted to each Emperor.
- In 27 BC "automatically bestowed upon" the Emperor at the start of their "reign".
- In 382 AD, when the Eastern emperor Theodosius established "CATHOLIC " Christianity as the official religion of the empire, the Western Emperor Gratian relinquished the office to the Christian Popes of Rome, who have held it since that time.
Political Rome may have received it's "deadly head wound" hundreds of years ago.
The Supreme ROMAN Title of religious authority; Pontifex Maximus LIVED ON to RISE UP OUT OF A DIMINISHING ROME;
- and HAS REMAINED AN "unbroken" "WORLD SUPERPOWER" title of PAGAN RELIGIOUS authority; for ALMOST 2300 YEARS.
AND IN THIS DAY AND AGE;
- This RELIGIOUS KING is considered by those in his "diverse"(RELIGIOUS) World Superpower Kingdom";
as EQUAL WITH JESUS CHRIST.
DANIEL 8
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], (ended in 70 AD) and the transgression of desolation(established 321 AD), to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
