“I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.”
I watched then because of the noise of the arrogant words that the horn was speaking. And as I watched, the beast was put to death, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. The arrogant horn's speech attracts divine judgment; the fourth beast is destroyed completely—its body burned with fire. This represents total annihilation of the final human empire and its arrogant ruler. The contrast between the cosmic majesty of the heavenly court and the beast's destruction emphasizes the futility of human empire in the face of divine judgment. The burning fire suggests both purification and judgment.
