Four Horns

Let us muse today from Zechariah 1:18-21 and a section I have entitled the 10 visions. It is in our text that the prophet sees the vision of the four horns. Horns in the Bible often depict power, authority, or any nation which dominates all others. Israel has been dominated in its history by four world powers Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greece, and Rome. Even to this day we find many Jews scattered to the four corners of the world because of these ruthless four world powers. When the antichrist comes upon the scene the Roman Empire will be revived and there will be a Holocaust of the Jews that will make Hitler’s Holocaust look like a Sunday school picnic.
