A Nation
 "I
considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn,
before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots:
and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth
speaking great things." Daniel 7:8, 20
The Bible interprets its own symbols so that we need not speculate at all.
"And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten
kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall
be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings." Daniel 7:24
Kings and kingdoms are used synonymously in the Bible, where you have a kingdom
you also have a king. The following two verses make this principle even more
clear:
"These great beasts, which are four, are four kings,
which shall arise out of the earth." Daniel 7:17
"Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth
kingdom upon earth..." Daniel 7:23
Does the Vatican fit this point?
Yes, the Vatican has a full
civil government with a flag, a police
force, courts and postage stamps. It issues currency and passports, and
has a large and active diplomatic corps with ambassadors called nuncios. See
any Encyclopedia for more information.
