"He Shall Speak Great Words Against the Most High"
As Daniel observed the little-horn power, he heard it speaking "very
great things." The angel declared that these great swelling words were
really against the Most High. And what could be more against the honor

"All the names which are attributed to Christ in Scripture,
implying His supremacy over the church, are also attributed to
the Pope."--_Bellarmine, "On the Authority of Councils," book
2, chap. 17._
This ruling has been actually applied through the ages. Says Elliott:
"Look at the Sicilian ambassadors prostrated before him [Pope
Martin IV] with the cry, 'Lamb of God! that takest away the
sins of the world!'"--_"Horae Apocalypticae," part 4, chap.
