Even though the #22 - Ten Horns/Kings give their authority to the Beast (Rev. [[17:13|bible.87.17.13]]+, [[17|bible.87.17.17]]+), the Beast still overthrows three horns. This reduces the number of horns to 7 to which the little horn is added for a total of eight horns (Dan. [[7:8|bible.27.7.8]]). See Symbols of Kingdoms.
