In Daniel 7, the fourth beast had ten horns, but then an 11th horn came up and uprooted three of the other horns, leaving 8 horns.
In Revelation, there are three beasts with seven heads and ten horns each (12:3; 13:1; 17:3). Seven is equal to the total number of heads in Daniel 7. (The leopard had 4 heads.) Ten is also equal to the total number of horns in Daniel 7 (at least before the 11th horn showed up).
There must be some relationship between the seven heads and ten horns in Daniel and Revelation. The seven heads and ten horns are explained in Revelation 17. So, my question is, what is the significance of the similarity of the number of heads and horns? Are these exactly the same 17 entities, or do the numbers indicate that the beasts in Revelation are a continuance (descendants) of the beasts in Daniel 7, or perhaps something else?
