As I watched, this horn made war with the holy ones and was prevailing against them. The prophecy reveals that the arrogant horn will make war against the holy ones (God's people) and initially prevail against them. This suggests persecution of believers during the dominion of this horn. The apparent prevailing of the horn against God's people creates psychological and spiritual crisis: how can the faithful endure when their persecutor seems to be winning? Yet the prophecy continues beyond this apparent victory.
