The Triple Crown
Three Kingdoms Removed to make way for Papacy

I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Dan 7:8

And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Dan 7:20

And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Dan 7:24


The Conqueror Wears the Crowns of the Conquered
Crown him with many crowns.
Three kingdoms mentioned three times were to be defeated by a little kingdom. For over 1000 years the rulers of that kingdom have worn three crowns. And for nearly three hundred years protestant prophecy expositors have seen this as a divine mark of identification.

In the Old Testament days, the crowns of conquered kings were placed upon the heads of the conqueror. Example David in II Samuel 12:30

Protestants have always taught that the name of the Pope, Vicarious Fillii Dei, is on the top or third crown. The Latin letters of this name add to 666. Catholic's deny this.

Byzantium Reconquers Three Kingdoms
Justinian sent Belsarius to Subdue the Vandals
At the fall of the Roman Empire in 476, ten kingdoms were established in the West. However, three of those barbarian kingdoms were Arians which was considered heresy by the Catholics. The Eastern Roman Empire reconquered the territory held by the Ostrogoths, Heruli and Vandals which occupied Italy and Northern Africa.

1. Catholic Emperor Zeno arranged a treaty with the Ostrogoths in 487 which resulted in the destruction of the Heruli in 493.

2. Justinian then sent his best general Belsarius who destroyed the Vandals by 534.

3. Then Belsarius destroyed the Ostrogoths in 538. The three Arian kingdoms disappeared from world history. They were plucked up in fulfillment of prophecy and their crowns are the triple crown.
