VANDALES, THE HERULIANS AND THE OSTROGOTHERS WERE SUBDUED
THE DUAL PLAN
Having followed the wonderful development of the great people in their
course through the national moulds, and having seen them divided and
sub-divided by kings until ten such kings were seated on the head (the
government) of the people (the body), the prophet noticed a "little
horn" coming up amidst the ten horns. This horn was different from the
rest, in that it had "eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth
speaking great things." What kingly power was it that arose after the
rise of the ten kings or the forming of the ten divisions of the Roman
empire? The empire was divided into ten divisions between the years
356 and 483 A. D., consequently that power arose this side of 483 A.
D. The papal power was then in its embryonic state—continually
developing. When it needed more room for its universal growth, the
opposing powers next to it: viz., the Vandales, the Herulians and the
Ostrogoths, who opposed the union of the state and church, were
subdued.
