In the end times even the elect can be deceived. Be as wise as the serpent but as gentle as the Lamb.
Jephthah was the eighth judge in the book of Judges. Jephthah spoke peace and truth during a less-than-peaceful circumstance.
Coming to a peaceful agreement isn't easy. It takes help from the Holy Spirit and faith in God. First5
Daniel 7:8
8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words. The New King James Version
The descriptor “little” is derogatory. The close recounting of the deeds of Antiochus throughout the remaining visions suggests that the little horn likely refers to him. However, if Rome is the fourth beast, this horn may alternatively represent the antichrist. Faithlife Study Bible
The horns here represent rulers. Even though the little one begins small, it would become the greatest of all . The NKJV Study Bible
Mighty conquerors are but instruments of God’s vengeance on a guilty world. The savage beast represents the hateful features of their characters. But the dominion given to each has a limit; their wrath shall be made to praise the Lord, and the remainder of it he will restrain. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary
Psalm 12:3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things,
Revelation 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
Revelation 13:6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
