Apocalypse 17.12

Les dix cornes de la bête (Apocalypse 13.1 ; 17.3) avaient besoin d'être expliquées, comme les sept têtes.

L'explication que l'auteur en donne est obscure. Ce sont dix rois, dit-il. S'ils sont représentés par des cornes, et non par des têtes, c'est qu'ils n'ont pas encore reçu de royaume, mais seulement un pouvoir royal, une autorité comme des rois, pour une heure, avec la bête.

Les interprètes qui ont vu dans les sept rois une succession de royaumes considèrent de même les dix cornes, d'après Daniel 7.24, comme dix royaumes qui s'élèveront successivement.

Mais dans la suite du tableau de l'apocalypse les dix rois paraissent être contemporains de la bête, à laquelle ils confèrent le pouvoir, (verset 13) et avec laquelle ils s'allient pour faire la guerre à l'Agneau et enfin pour détruire Rome.

Il paraît donc plus conforme aux données du texte d'admettre que Jean a vu en eux dix lieutenants impériaux, ou les proconsuls qui étaient à la tète des dix provinces sénatoriales et qui étaient renouvelés d'année en année.

C'est pour cela qu'il dit d'eux : ils reçoivent autorité comme des rois, avec la bête, pour une heure. S'il les appelle des rois qui n'ont pas encore reçu de royaumes, il ne veut pas dire qu'ils sont tous destinés à en recevoir. Mais il avait vu trois de ces lieutenants impériaux revêtir la pourpre ; il pouvait donc les considérer tous comme des candidats éventuels au trône.

    • Daniel 2

      40 The fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.
      41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
      42 As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
      43 Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cling to one another, even as iron does not mingle with clay.

      Daniel 7

      7 After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, a fourth animal, awesome and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns.
      8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
      20 and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other [horn] which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows.
      24 As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.

      Zacharie 1

      18 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four horns.
      19 I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
      20 Yahweh showed me four craftsmen.
      21 Then I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He said, "These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head; but these have come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."

      Apocalypse 12

      3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.

      Apocalypse 13

      1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads. On his horns were ten crowns, and on his heads, blasphemous names.

      Apocalypse 17

      12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
      16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

      Apocalypse 18

      10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.'
      17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,
      19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!' For in one hour is she made desolate.
