What does the leader with 10 horns in Revelation represent?
In Revelation, the leader with ten horns represents a government made up of ten distinctive heads, presidents, or kings. Scripture consistently uses horns to symbolize kings or the top ruler in control, so the ten horns picture a composite governing power rather than a single individual.
Les teaches that horns in Scripture always refer to kings or the top guy in control. He connects this principle to Daniel's vision, where the ram's two horns represented the Medes and Persians, meaning two kings. Applying the same symbolism to Revelation, the leader with ten horns is simply a government with ten distinctive heads, presidents, or kings.
