Here is a summary of the relationship between the "7 horns," the "Little horn," and the "lamb with two horns" as described in Ellen White's writings: 1. The "Little Horn": - The "little horn" is referenced in Daniel 7 and is interpreted by Ellen White as representing the Roman Church (the papacy), even before it possessed civil power. This horn is a symbol of a religious power that becomes dominant and persecutes God's people (see 4SP 502.5). 2. The "Lamb with Two Horns": - The "lamb with two horns" is found in Revelation 13:11 and is interpreted as representing the United States. This beast is described as coming up out of the earth, signifying a peaceful rise in a previously unoccupied territory, unlike the previous beasts that rose through conquest (see GC 439.3; 4SP 276.2). - The two horns are interpreted as representing civil and ecclesiastical power (4SP 502.5). - Although it appears gentle ("like a lamb"), it eventually "speaks as a dragon," exercising the power of the first beast (the papacy) and enforcing its worship (GC 578.3; GC88 441.2). 3. The "7 Horns": - While the specific phrase "7 horns" is not directly explained in the provided texts, horns in prophetic symbolism generally represent powers or kingdoms. In Daniel 7, the ten horns represent kingdoms, and the "little horn" arises among them. - In Revelation, horns are also used to symbolize power and authority. Relationship: - The "little horn" (papacy) arises among the kingdoms symbolized by horns in Daniel 7. - The "lamb with two horns" (United States) is a later power that, according to prophecy, will eventually support the papacy by enforcing its decrees, especially regarding worship and the "mark of the beast" (GC 578.3; GC 445.2). - The "lamb with two horns" causes the world to worship the first beast (the papacy/little horn), thus forming a prophetic alliance in the last days. In summary: The "little horn" represents the papacy, the "lamb with two horns" represents the United States, and both are connected in prophecy as powers that will unite to enforce false worship in the end times. Horns in general symbolize power, and the "little horn" is a specific religious power among the kingdoms, while the "lamb with two horns" is a civil-religious power that supports the papacy.

There is no direct statement in Ellen White's writings that specifically identifies the "7 horns" (the ten horns of Daniel 7, often interpreted as the countries of divided Western Europe) as playing a unique, named role in the very end time events. However, several points from her writings are relevant: - Ellen White does affirm that Europe, including its nations and peoples, will be involved in the final proclamation of the gospel and the closing work (see HS 287.4; LS 304.3; 6T 461.4). She describes a great work to be done in Europe and a need for the message to reach its cities and people. - She notes that in many European nations, church and state powers have historically been controlled by the papacy (GC 268.3), and that the influence of these powers is part of the broader prophetic picture. - The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, including the symbols of horns (which represent kingdoms or powers), are said to be unsealed and relevant to the end time (DA 235.1). - The final warning message (the three angels' messages) is to go to "every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people" (GC88 311.2), which includes the nations of Europe. In summary: While Ellen White does not specifically say that the "7 horns" (or ten horns) countries of Europe will play a distinct, named role as a group in the end time, she does indicate that Europe and its nations are part of the global stage in the final events. The gospel message and the issues of prophecy will reach and involve all nations, including those of Europe, and the historical influence of church-state powers in Europe is part of the prophetic background for end-time events.

Ellen White’s writings explain that the papacy will persecute in the end time primarily through the enforcement of its religious decrees—especially Sunday observance—by civil governments, with the United States (America) taking a leading role but not acting alone. How will the papacy persecute? - The papacy will use civil power to enforce its religious laws, particularly Sunday observance, which it claims as a mark of its authority (GC 578.3; 5T 451.1). - This persecution will mirror the oppression seen during the 1260 years of papal supremacy, when dissenters were imprisoned, tortured, or killed for refusing to accept papal ceremonies and worship (GC 54.2; 4SP 277.2). - The spirit of persecution manifested by the papacy in the past will be revived, and the world will again see religious liberty restricted and conscience compelled (5T 449.3; 4SP 277.2). Will America alone manage to persecute, and how? - America (the United States) is symbolized by the beast with two horns (Revelation 13:11), and will lead out in enforcing Sunday observance, thus forming an “image to the beast”—a union of church and state similar to the papacy (GC 578.3; 4SP 277.2). - The United States will not act alone. “In this homage to the papacy the United States will not be alone. The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her dominion is still far from being destroyed. And prophecy foretells a restoration of her power... In both the Old and the New World, the papacy will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution” (GC 578.3). - As America enforces these decrees, “the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example” (6T 18.2). Summary: - The papacy will persecute by using civil governments to enforce its religious decrees, especially Sunday observance. - America will take the lead, but other nations will follow, resulting in a global enforcement of papal authority and persecution of those who remain faithful to God’s law.

According to available White Estate materials, there is not enough direct information to provide a detailed interpretation of Revelation 17:12-13. The official position is that while Ellen White references the prophetic symbols of Revelation in a general sense—often relating them to the final conflict between good and evil, the union of church and state, and the global enforcement of false worship—she does not offer a specific, detailed explanation of the "ten kings" or their actions as described in these verses. For a more precise interpretation, readers are encouraged to consult broader Adventist prophetic understanding and recognized Bible commentaries, while keeping in mind the principles outlined in Ellen White's writings regarding end-time alliances and the unification of powers against God's people.
