Daniel 7 includes a beast with eleven horns. The eleventh, small horn defeats three of the first ten horns. These horns are all said to represent kings or perhaps kingdoms.
Revelation has two different creatures with ten horns, both a dragon (Revelation 12) and later a strange beast that is the combination of several animals (Revelation 13, 17, etc.). In Revelation 17, the horns are again said to be kings. (Seven heads are also said to be kings.) However, Revelation never seems to show three of these kings fighting against a little horn (or any alternative symbol) and being defeated by this enemy.
Most people assume that these two passages are describing the same thing, in some way. I give up. Why doesn't Revelation include three horns being defeated by a smaller horn? Someone tell me the answer.
