Pride Provokes Judgment
Commentators unanimously agree that the judgment on the beast is a direct result of the 'great words'—the arrogant and blasphemous speech—of the little horn. This serves as a powerful reminder that God takes notice of pride and rebellion against Him, and it ultimately leads to destruction. The seer's attention was drawn specifically to this pride as the cause for the coming doom.
