Historic interpretations of the ten horns

Futurist Joseph Tyso (1774-1852), Baptist minister at Wallingford, Oxfordshire, compiled a table showing the variety among expositors on the identification of the ten horns of the beast in Daniel 7:7, Revelation 13:1 and 17:3, 12. The data he presented is summarized in the table below. Tyso intended to discredit the year-day theory and support his futurist theory that the beast was yet to appear. [1]
