Twenty Biblical Proofs That Trump is “The Little Horn,” Not Obama!

1.) Barack Obama is Too Obviously Opposed to Christians & Jews, and Has Not Fooled Many Bible Believers.

Our Messiah warned us that there would be many false Messiahs and false prophets in these last days, and that the deception would be so powerful, that they will even deceive the elect. It is important to understand that the Greek word for “possible” in the following passage is #1415 “dunatos,” which literally means “powerful, capable.”

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were POSSIBLE, they shall deceive the very elect.

Additionally, the words “it were,” are italicized in the King James Version, which means those words were added by the English translators. Therefore, this verse is more accurately read like this:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if POWERFUL, they shall deceive the very elect.

This goes right along with the warning from Shaul (Paul) that it will be a STRONG DELUSION:

2nd Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause Elohiym shall send them STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE.

This is the number one reason why Barack Obama cannot be the False Messiah, The Man of Sin, The Son of Perdition, aka Antichrist. It is because he has not fooled many Christians or Jews into believing that he is “one of them,” or “on their side.” Barack Obama has been openly in favor of same-sex marriages and abortion. He also made disparaging remarks against the Bible when he was in office:

“Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?” “Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount? “So before we get carried away, let’s read our Bible now,” Obama said, to cheers. “Folks haven’t been reading their Bible.” He also called Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our Defense Department would survive its application.”


As a matter of fact, all of us can remember when that Television Series called “The Bible,” showed the devil looking eerily similar to Barack Obama! Interestingly, this show aired on March 13th 2013 with two #13’s signaling that the Illuminati were doing this on purpose. I believe they have been trying to convince us that Obama is “The Antichrist,” so that when Trump came onto the scene, Christians & Conservatives would already have made up their mind that Obama is the one. Even Glenn Beck, who is a Mormon & a Freemason, showed this image on his television show, and he tweeted about it on Twitter. 

When Luciferians expose Satanists, what you must understand, is that it’s the “False Light,” exposing the “Obvious Darkness, in an effort to throw you off of their scent! Even though Scripture makes it clear that Lucifer & Satan are the same being, Freemasons believe that “Jesus is a reincarnation of the fallen angel Lucifer!” 



Therefore, they falsely categorize themselves as “Christians,” while referring to those on the Left as “Satanists!” Until you understand this concept, you will continue to fall for the “The Left-Right Paradigm. 

To learn more, see these blogs: 



Trump, on the other hand, pretends to uphold the Bible, while Obama has also been openly against Israel, and in favor of their worst enemy, which is Iran.

See this Newsweek Article:


As a matter of fact, before leaving office in 2016, President Obama donated billions of American Tax Dollars to Iran! Do you honestly think that the Jewish people in Israel would now ask Barack Obama to build the 3rd Jewish Temple? 

Conversely, President Donald Trump has been quoted as saying “Nobody is against Anti-Semitism more than me.” He also made a speech at the Bilderberg Dinner in 2016 that he is “Committed to fighting against persecution of Christians, Roman Catholics & Jews.” See the following articles:




Why would Trump make such declarations? Because it is obvious (to those of us who understand the agenda behind the Ecumenical Movement), that all major religions of the world must be brought together under the authority of the Vatican. Donald Trump is a graduate of Fordham University, which is a Jesuit Bible College, therefore, he knows his place on the political world stage, and he is following his marching orders.

Trump takes the same stand against abortion (supposedly) as President Ronald Reagan did. Both Reagan & Trump took enough of a stand against abortion to make it look good to their Christian Right-wing Conservative supporters. But not enough of a stand to do anything about it. The Washington Post published an article quoting Trump:

“As most people know, and for those who would like to know, I am strongly Pro-Life, with the three exceptions — Rape, Incest and protecting the Life of the mother — the same position taken by Ronald Reagan,” Trump said, as he appeared to distance himself from Alabama’s restrictive abortion law. 


Just like Reagan, Trump favors killing a baby in the womb in cases of incest and rape! This is not a Pro-Life” stance at all. Medical Professionals can conjure up a medical reason for aborting a baby when they want to, so there is no medical reason that will stand in the courts of heaven for murdering an unborn baby. 


Trump made it appear that he was defunding Planned Parenthood back in 2019, but then he redirected those same funds for “Vaccine Developmentwhen he gave 1.16 Billion in our U.S. Tax Dollars to an organization called GAVI, which was started by Bill Gates & the World Health Organization! Thus, we can see that Trump is notorious for pulling the famous 
“Bait & Switchtactic that many Christians and Conservatives are falling for. 


There is no question that Barack Obama is “An Antichrist,” and one who operates in that spirit. However, since our Messiah told us in Matthew 24:24 that there will be “Many false Christs, and false prophets, therefore, we can safely say that Barack Obama is “One of many Antichrists.” But he is not the one spoken of in 2nd Thessalonians 2:

2nd Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, THE SON OF PERDITION.

2nd Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposes and EXALTS HIMSELF himself above all that is called Elohiym, or that is worshipped; so that he as Elohiym SITS IN THE TEMPLE of Elohiym, showing himself that he is Elohiym.

The only politician on the world stage right now, (who fits that description) is Donald Trump; who has on many occasions referred to himself as “The Chosen One, The Second Coming of God, the Messiah, the King of Israel!” 

In Daniel 7:8 & Revelation 13:5, one of the biggest characteristics of “The Little Horn,” aka “The Beast” is that “He speaks great things and blasphemies against the Most High.” 


2.) The name “Trump” in Hebrew (qeren) means a “horn” as in “Little Horn,” or a “trumpet, cornet.” (Daniel 7:8 & 8:9).

3.) The word “Little” in Hebrew (z`eyr) means “To be brought low, to be made small.” 

Trump has been deliberately made to go through “Humiliation Rituals,” so that he can later be exalted like the Messiah (Daniel 7:8 & 8:9). 

The Hebrew meaning of “little” is seen in the Concordance as follows:

Conversely, some have tried to make the argument that the name “Barack Obama” was named by our Messiah in Luke 10:18 when he said the following:

Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

They rationalize that in Hebrew the word for “lightning” is “baraq,” which is spelled with the Hebrew letter “quph” or the English equivalent of the letter “Q.” 


There are two different words in Hebrew that sound the same, but one of them ends with a quph, (Q) and the other one ends with a kaph (K). Obviously, Barack Obama spells his name with a kaph (K) on the end, which in Semitic means 
“To bless god.” Therefore, the argument that Barack Obama was named by our Messiah is now disproven!

4.) The name “President Donald Trump” in Computer ASCII code has a numerical value of 666, which is the same numerical value as the word “Vaccination.” 


This means that the name, number, and mark of the beast, matches the numerical value of the name “President Donald Trump” (Daniel 3:1-15; Revelation 13:16-18; 1st Kings 10:14; 2nd Chronicles 9:13). 

Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 

See the calculations at the following link: 


Conversely, the name of President Barack Hussein Obama does not have the numerical value of 666. I have tried calculating his name several different ways, (even his birth name Barry Soetoro), but there is no match for 666.

The Biometric Tracking System is the future Mark of the Beast

President Donald Trump has told us many times in his speeches that he intends in the future, to roll out the Biometric Tracking System, which means that we will not be able to travel, buy or sell without an ID. 

At the 2:57 mark of this video, you will hear Trump say the following: 


We will finally complete, the Biometric Entry/Exit Tracking System, which we need desperately...In my administration, we will ensure that this system is in place. And I will tell you, it will be on land, it will on sea, it will be in air, we will have proper tracking system....We will turn off the jobs and benefits...

What most people have not figured out yet, is that the Luciferian global elites have orchestrated the CHILD-TRAFFICKING crisis. They have orchestrated the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION crisis. They have orchestrated the VOTER-FRAUD crisis, all for one end-goal, which is to roll-out Biometric Tracking ID, which is the biblical Mark of the Beast! (see Revelation 13:16-18).

By following the Creation Account in Genesis, we can easily see that the “Mark of the Beast” has three components: 

A.) Physical Body - Altering human DNA into the Image of the Beast, via the “Iron & Clay” (graphene oxide) which is transhumanism (Daniel 2:42-44). 

*This is Satan’s attempt to recreate humans in his image, a reversal of Genesis 1:26-27.

B.) Spiritual - Outlawing the Seventh-day Sabbath for believers in Messiah and requiring Sunday Sabbath. 

The #7 in Hebrew is “sheba,” which means “to take an oath by swearing seven times.” YaHuWaH marks his own people by giving us a day of rest, which is his covenant with us! 

*This is Satan’s attempt to recreate the Sabbath for himself, a reversal of Genesis 2:2-3. 

C.) Mind/Financial - Biometric Tracking, cannot buy or sell without it. 

*This is Satan’s attempt to mark his own children, a reversal of Genesis 4:15, where YaHuWaH gave Cain the mark of the “Aleph & Taw” (a covenant mark). 

Satan’s mark is 666, because humanity was created on day #6, and a trinity of 6’s means that Satan is trying to mimic our Creator, who resurrected on the third day. To learn more, see my other blog: Mark of the Beast Decoded in Genesis

Also see these other links:






5.) The Beast “Comes in his own name,” (John 5:43), and Trump owns 318 copyrights on items sold around the world with his name on them. 

The Trump named is branded, and appears on everything from statues, to T-shirts, to hotels, mattresses, liquor, Gambling Casinos, Wine, etc. 

“The Donald” or “Donald Trump” has been listed as owner for 318 trademarks using the “Trump Name” in the United States Database!

What most people may not be aware of, is that the name “Donald” in Gaelic or Scottish, literally means “The World Ruler!”

Conversely, all the other runner-ups for the position of “Antichrist,” (who many people have speculated about) do not come in their own birth name!

*Barack Hussein Obama changed his name, from his original birth name, which is Barry Soetoro.  

*Pope Francis does not come in his own name when he holds the office of a Pope, because his birth name is “Jorge Mario Bergoglio.” 

King Charles III, is also not his original birth name either, for he was born “Prince Charles Philip Arthur George of Wales.” 

However, his current legal name is “King Charles III, of the United Kingdom.” or simply “Charles III.”

In my other blogs (below), you will see all the trademarks that have been listed using the Trump name in the United States. 

In addition to the 318 trademarks with the Trump name in them, I have found 33 terms with the name Trump in it, adding up to 666 in Computer ASCII Code! 

To learn more, see these other two blogs:



6.) Trump’s genealogy/lineage traces back to the 
Assyrians” (Isaiah 10:5-24; 14:25; 19:23; 23:13; 30:31; 31:38). 

Trump’s family also claim to be “Merovingian Jews,” supposedly the offspring of “Mary Magdalene & Jesus” (Revelation 2:10 & 3:10). 

See these blogs: 



7.) Trump spearheaded “Operation Warp Speed,” in 2020, which has caused 6.66 billion souls to take “The Mark of the Beast.” 

In Revelation 13:18, we see a prophecy that Trump has already began to fulfill, and he will continue to fulfill it during his 42 months of false ministry. 


The Mark of the Beast removes from the human DNA, the name of the Father (YaHuWaH), and replaces it with a Triple Helix strand of DNA, containing a sequence of the #666. 

Trump also called the “Vaccination,” “A GREAT CHRISTMAS MIRACLE” (Revelation 13:14-18; 2nd Thessalonians 2:9). See these links:






8.) Trump placed an “Abomination” that causes “Desolation” inside the human body/temple, by using 1.16 Billion American Tax dollars to develop a substance that mixes “Iron & Clay” (Daniel 2:43). 

This has caused the alteration of Human DNA with unclean animals and human cells from live “ABORTIONS.”  


Graphene Oxide is a substance that is made using “IRON,” and humans are made from “The dust of the earth,” which is formed into “CLAY” (Genesis 2:7; Matthew 24:15; 1st Corinthians 6:19). 

9.) The Little Horn is given a mouth speaking “Great things and blasphemies against the Most High” (Daniel 7:8; 7:20; Revelation 13:5). 

Trump brags on social media and calls himself “The Second Coming of God, the Messiah, the King of Israel & the Chosen One.” 


10.) The Little Horn “subdues three kings” or nations (Daniel 7:24).


Trump brokered a “Peace Deal” with three nations (Israel, Bahrain & United Arab Emirates) on August 13, 2020, thus “subduing three kings,” which fulfilled several prophecies at once. 

11.) The Little Horn “Destroys Many by Peace” (Daniel 8:25; Isaiah 28:15-18). 

Trump’s Abraham Accords includes a clause stipulating that the nations that signed the agreement must participate with the development and distribution of the “Vaccinations,” which destroy the human body over time. 

Thus, Daniel 8:25 says “He shall destroy many by peace.” Isaiah 28:15-18 calls it “A Covenant with death.” 

12.) A Wall in the Golan Heights Near Mount Hermon Dedicated to Donald Trump by Benjamin Netanyahu called “Trump Heights.”


In Isaiah 14:14, the fallen angel named “Heylel” (Lucifer) says “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.” 

13.) Trump “magnifies himself” in his heart and by his words above all other “gods” (Daniel 8:25; 11:36-37). 

14.) Trump “honors the god of fortresses” in his Trump Tower Estate, with a mural on the ceiling of Apollo, (the son of Zeus), and other statues and paintings of pagan deities (Daniel 11:38; Revelation 9:11). 


In Hebrew, the name “Apollo” is “A-bad-Don” (Abaddon). 

15.) The “Little Horn” magnifies himself above all other gods, including the pagan deity named “Tammuz,” who is also nick-named “The Desire of Women” (Daniel 11:37 & Ezekiel 8:14). 


16.) The “Little Horn” shall think to change times and laws, (Daniel 7:24-25), which are the commandments of YaHuWaH. 


On June 2, 2020, Trump signed an Executive Order called “Advancing International Religious Freedoms,” which makes it illegal to speak out against homosexuality, and the One World Religion of Antichrist Pope Francis!


17.) The “Man of Sin” promotes “The Mystery of Lawlessness,” as he will build the Temple of YaHuWaH, and he will “Sit in the Temple” declaring himself to be “Elohiym” (god). 

President Trump has been asked by the Jewish Sanhedrin in 2016 to build the Temple in Jerusalem. 

There is even a Train Station that will shuttle passengers from the Ben Gurion Airport to the Temple Mount, and it is named “The Donald Trump Train Station.” 



18.) In October 2020, President Trump recovered from a “deadly wound” (plague in Greek), which is Covid-19, and afterwards, the Republicans made a “Golden Image” to him at the CPAC Event of 2021 (Daniel 3:1-15; Revelation 13:3). 

19.) The “Beast” shall suffer a deadly wound by a sword, and shall live (recover). The Greek word for “sword” (machaira) means “Judicial Punishment.” 

Trump’s Indictments are the “Judicial Punishment,” (wound by a sword) for which he will recover from (Daniel 3:1-15; Revelation 13:14. 


20.) The “Beast” causes “Fire to come down from heaven in the sight of men” 
(Revelation 13:13). 


These are “Directed Energy Weapons” that have caused unnatural fires throughout the United States to strategic places and food distribution centers. 

The Greek word for “fire” (pur) means “lightning, something that glows.” In 2019, Trump launched “Space Force,” which is 24/7 Satellite Surveillance, which tracks every human being on the earth that has been “micro-chipped” via his “Snake Bites.”





The Rays of the Sun Shining Down on Trump

What follows is a post I made on Facebook November 6th, 2020, (just three days after the Presidential Election). 

This image showed up on Social Media, as many Trump supporters were hailing him as some kind of Messiah-figure, with the manifestation of sun-rays shining down on him! 

This was a lying sign and a wonder, to deceive the very elect! 

Did they use something akin to Project Blue Beam to fake this effect?

Revelation 13:13 And he does GREAT WONDERS, so that HE MAKES FIRE COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN IN THE SIGHT OF MEN... 

The key operative phrase is “In the sight of men.” The photo features many people witnessing this phenomenon. 

*Note: The Greek word for “fire” in Revelation 13:13 is as follows:

#G4448. puroo poo-ro’-o from 4442; to kindle, i.e. (passively) TO BE INGNITED, TO GLOW (literally), be refined (by implication), or (figuratively) to be inflamed (with anger, grief, lust):--burn, fiery, be on fire. 

#G4442. pur poor a primary word; “fire” (literally or figuratively, specially, lightning):--fiery, fire. 

The Hebrew word for “horn” in the title “Little Horn” can also mean “a ray of light.” The Hebrew Concordance also tells us that the word “horn” is a trumpet (cornet). Thus “Little Horn” means “Little Trump!” 

#H7162 qeren keh’-ren a horn for sound, a cornet, trumpet.

#H7161 qeren keh’-ren from 7160; a horn (as projecting); by implication, a flask, cornet; by resemblance. an elephant's tooth (i.e. ivory), a corner (of the altar), a peak (of a mountain), a ray (of light); figuratively, power: --X hill, horn. 

Another root word is as follows:

#H7160 qaran kawran to push or gore; to have hornsto shine; to shoot out horns or rays; to shine.

On Election Day, (November 3rd 2020), the internet was abuzz with stories about the rays of the sun shining down on Trump. See the link below:


Is Barack Obama the lightning that falls from a high place in the sight of men?

Some have suggested that Revelation 13:13 is about Barack Obama falling from from heaven as lightning. The Hebrew word for lightning is #H1300, “baraq” spelled with three letters: beyth, rosh, quph. 

There are two Hebrew words that sound the same, but they are spelled differently. The word for “blessed” is #H1288, and it is spelled almost the same, except for the last letter (kaph instead of quph). 

Therefore, the word “barak” is spelled, beyth, rosh, kaph. I am by no means suggesting that Obama is blessed, because he is certainly a very wicked man. However, Obama does not spell his name with a “q” on the end, he spells it with a “ck” on the end. Therefore, it is a stretch to attach his name to this prophecy.

In Luke 10:18, our Messiah said that he beheld “Satan fall as lightning.” The word “height or high place” in Hebrew is #H1116 which is “bama.” Some have interpreted this to mean that Barack (lightning) is the one who falls from the high place (bama), and that the letter “O,” translated as the Hebrew letter “waw, or vav” is a connector meaning “the.” 

The only problem with this theory is, that there have not been any people witnessing Barack Obama falling from his high place!

Therefore, “In the sight of men” cannot be referring to Obama falling as Satan!

A more plausible argument about this prophecy is seen in the fact that there is a place in Israel that has been dedicated to President Trump. Back in 2002, a friend of mine who currently lives in Israel pointed this place out to me. 

She sent me a photo of this place called Trump Heights 24/7 House of Prayer.According to Wikipedia, this is an Israeli-occupied settlement in the Golan Heights:


Trump Heights is a planned Israeli settlement in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights named after, and in honour of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights are widely regarded as illegal under international law. However, the Israeli government disputes this. It will be under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council.


The Golan Heights rise from 400 to 1700 feet in the northeastern section of the country. Israels highest mountain, Mount Hermon, is located here. Mount Hermons highest peak is more than 9,000 feet high, the top elevation under Israeli control is Mizpe Shelagim, the Snow Observatory, at about 7,300 feet (2,224 m.).

There are a few interesting things about this place that are very telling. The first thing that comes to mind when I see this photo, is the prophecy in Isaiah.

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:12 How are you fallen from heaven, O Heylel (Lucifer), son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! 

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:13 For you have said in your heart, I will ASCEND into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Elohiym: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:14 I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH. 

Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 14:15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol (hell), to the sides of the pit. 

The Hebrew word for “height” in Isaiah 14:14 is as follows:

#H1116 bamah bam-maw' from an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation:--height, high place, wave; heights of Baal

What is also interesting, is the meaning of the word “Hermon,” as in Mount Hermon in Hebrew: 

#H2763 charam khaw-ram' a primitive root; to seclude; specifically (by a ban) TO DEVOTE TO RELIGIOUS USES (ESPECIALLY DESTRUCTION); physical and reflexive, TO BE BLUNT as to the nose:--MAKE ACCURSED consecrate, (utterly) DESTROY, devote, forfeit, have a flat nose, utterly (slay, make away). The root word is as follows: 

#H2764 cherem khay'-rem or (Zecheriah 14:11) cherem {kheh'-rem}; from 2763; physical (as shutting in) a net (either literally or figuratively); usually A DOOMED OBJECT; abstr. EXTERMINATION:--A CURSED THING, dedicated thing, THINGS WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN UTTERLY DESTROYED; UTTER DESTRUCTION DEVOTED THING.

Mount Hermon is that place where Yahuwshuwa (Joshua) conquered and defeated the Giants (Nephilim)! See the book of Yahuwshuwa (Joshua), chapter 12:1-5!

Naturally, I do not believe Obama to be innocent or benign. During his eight-year term as POTUS, I spoke out against his wicked ways on social media. 

Trump Worships Himself As Apollo

The real reason why the global elite bankers chose 9/11 to take down the Twin Towers, is because of what it says in Revelation 9:11.

Revelation 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. 


Daniel 11:36-38 describes this same KING, as “THE LITTLE HORN” who exalts himself above every other deity. 

Daniel 11:36 And THE KING SHALL DO ACCORDING TO HIS WILL; and HE SHALL EXALT HIMSELF, AND MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE EVERY elohiym [god], and shall speak marvellous things against the EL of EL [God of gods], and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 

Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the Elohiym of his fathers, NOR THE DESIRE OF WOMEN [TAMMUZ], nor regard any god: for HE SHALL MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE ALL. 

Daniel 11:38 But IN HIS ESTATE, SHALL HE HONOR THE god OF FORCES: and god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour WITH GOLD, AND SILVER, AND WITH PRECIOUS STONES, AND PLEASANT THINGS. 

*Explanation: Donald Trump does not regard the same Elohiym as his ancestors, because he regards the pagan god Apollo (Apollyon) in his Trump Tower Estate with SILVER, GOLD & OPULENCE! 

As a matter of fact, he has a mural of Apollo on the ceiling, and he also has paintings and statues of Apollo, aka Apollyon on display! In Hebrew, the name “Apollyon” is “A-Bad-Don!” 

What this tells us is that Trump believes that he is a reincarnation of Apollo (the son of Zeus), therefore he worships himself. In 2015, Politico Magazine ran a story, revealing that Norman Vincent Peale taught Trump to worship himself:


Will “The Little Horn” Be A Homosexual?

Many people have misinterpreted Daniel 11:37 to mean that the Little Horn will not be attracted to women, therefore, they think he will be a homosexual. 

However, the Hebrew meaning of the phrase for “DESIRE OF WOMEN” gives us deeper insight. The Hebrew rendering of Daniel 11:37 says that the Little Horn shall not regard “Chemdah nashyim.” 

This is translated in English to “THE DESIRE OF WOMEN.” This phrase refers to someone who is dear to women (the object of their affection). J.A. Montgomery, in his Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Daniel, points out that Ewald identifies “The Desire of Women” as a Hebraic reference to the cult of Tammuz-Adonis. 

This cult was evidently popular in Syria, and was quite ancient, and perhaps more importantly, this cult had particular appeal to women. Lawrence M. Wills, in the Jewish Study Bible annotation to this passage, concurs that this is a reference to the Mesopotamian god, Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14). 

Therefore, the Little Horn shall have no regard for any pagan deity, even the one that is called “The Desire of Women” (Tammuz), for he will exalt himself above all other pagan gods! 

This cult of Tammuz later continued in Greece under the mythological god named “Adonis.”

This cult resembled what we saw in the 1950s with American teenage girls weeping in an emotional frenzy over Elvis Presley during his concerts.
