The term "ten-horned" is primarily associated with the apocalyptic imagery found in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. This imagery is symbolic and is often interpreted within the context of prophetic visions concerning future events and the unfolding of divine plans.

Biblical References:

1. Daniel 7:7-8 : In the Book of Daniel, the prophet describes a vision of four great beasts, each representing a kingdom. The fourth beast is described as "terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong." It is noted for having "ten horns." Daniel 7:7 states, "After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, I saw a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and extremely powerful. It had large iron teeth; it devoured and crushed, and it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns." The ten horns are often interpreted as ten kings or kingdoms that will arise from this beast.

2. Revelation 13:1 : The Book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John, also features a beast with ten horns. Revelation 13:1 states, "Then I saw a beast with ten horns and seven heads rising out of the sea. There were ten royal crowns on its horns, and blasphemous names on its heads." This beast is often associated with the Antichrist and is seen as a representation of a future world power that opposes God and His people.

3. Revelation 17:12-14 : Further elaboration on the ten horns is found in Revelation 17, where the ten horns are explicitly identified as ten kings. Revelation 17:12-14 states, "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings along with the beast. These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast. They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones."

Interpretation and Symbolism:

In conservative Christian eschatology, the ten horns are often interpreted as a coalition of ten nations or leaders that will emerge in the end times. These entities are seen as part of a revived Roman Empire or a similar global power structure that will play a significant role in the events leading up to the Second Coming of Christ. The imagery of the ten horns is symbolic of completeness and authority, representing a formidable alliance that will ultimately be defeated by Christ, the Lamb of God.

The ten-horned beast is a central figure in discussions of the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation, serving as a reminder of the spiritual battle between good and evil. The ultimate victory of the Lamb over the ten kings underscores the sovereignty of God and the fulfillment of His divine plan for redemption and judgment.
