The king of Jerusalem had a biblical mandate from Yahweh to uphold justice and righteousness over his people. (Prov 16:2, 29:14, 20:28, 29:4, 22:11, etc) Herod held that office and the divinely appointed mandate for upholding justice and righteousness that came with the office of the King when he delivered Christ over to Pontius Pilate to be flogged, scourged and crucified. Christ told Pilate, “therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” John 19:11 The very last mortal to deliver Christ to Pilate was Herod. If God’s prophetic anger was aroused by unjust kings like Ahab and Baasha, how much more Herod.
According to the text in Dan.8: 8,9 the „little horn“ grew out of one of the 4 notable horns of the Greek kings, successors (in Greek - „Diadochi“ „successors“) of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC). Thus, as recorded, the account of the angel in Dan.8: 8-12 chronologically takes us to the time of Antiochus IV Epiphanes (215-164 BC) - a Syrian king of the Hellenistic Seleucid dynasty. The wicked and blasphemous deeds of King Antiochus IV Epiphanes fully correspond to what is written about the „little horn“ in Daniel Ch. 8! But the historical king Antiochus IV was only an type of the real Antichrist at the end of time. The future Antichrist is described as a „little horn“ elsewhere in the book - in Daniel Ch. 7. (cf. Rev. ch. 13). That future „little horn“ (the proto-type) that will operate at the end of the present age will be the small, but arrogantly-proud, Judeo-Zionist state of Israel, with its spiritual-political leader - a false messiah and a false Christ standing in the Temple in the city of Jerusalem, as a god, and arrogantly claiming to be the messiah king of the nations of the whole world; having the blasphemous claim to stand in the place (remove the authority) of the True Messiah and King - the Lord-God Jesus Christ (see 2 Thess.2: 3-10). In distinction to the „little horn“ in Daniel Ch. 8 (i.e., the Syrian king Antiochus IV Epiphanes), the „little horn“ of Daniel Ch. 7 rises at the end of time, among the 10 (i.e. all) horns that sprung from the body of the fourth world empire - Rome (see Dan.7: 23,24), and this is the ever-warring, against Jesus Christ and His Church, Judeo-Zionist (elite of) Israel.
