Daniel 8:9 And out of one of them came
forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward
the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant
land.
Here's the explanation of little horn's
movement. To understand this better, please refer to my
post "The rise and fall of Anti Christ" regarding AC's
movement during tribulation.
"toward the south"
Little horn comes from Rome ( Daniel 9:26,
the prince to come). He is also the king of the north in
Daniel 11:25-27. He shall battle with the king of the
south who is Saudi per Daniel 11:25-26. This is what
"toward the south" means. Saudi is situated to the south
of Rome.
"toward the east"
After he battles with king of the south
Saudi, he shall return to Rome. But eventually he shall
move to his own land Babel situated in Iraq, sets there
as his own base (Zechariah 5:5-11). This is what "toward
the east" means.( Daniel 11:28). Iraq is to the east of
Rome.
"toward the pleasant land"
This tragedy shall happen in the middle of
tribulation. The pleasant land is Jerusalem. He shall
break the covenant, and lays siege against Jerusalem.
This is the beginning of Jacob's trouble. This is what
"toward the pleasant land" means.
