The four horns (Hebrew: ארבע קרנות ’arba‘ qərānōṯ) and four craftsmen (ארבעה חרשים ’arbā‘āh ḥārāšîm, also translated "engravers" or "artisans") are a vision found in Book of Zechariah, in Zechariah 1:21 in traditional English texts.

A little horn arises and attacks the people of God and the temple, and Daniel is informed how long the little horn's dominion will endure.

The Book of Daniel is a 2nd century BC biblical apocalypse with a 6th century BC setting. [1] Ostensibly "an account of the activities and visions of Daniel, a noble Jew exiled at Babylon", [2] the text features a prophecy rooted in Jewish history, as well as a portrayal of the end times that is both cosmic in scope and political in its focus.

These warring powers are portrayed as enemies of the people of God, “The King of the North” and “The King of the South” symbolize the adversaries of God's people. The vision depicts the struggle by the powers which affect God's people, which becomes in verse 11:31-35 "The abomination that maketh desolate”.
The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures.

Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in the Book of Daniel make up Daniel's final vision, describing a series of conflicts between the unnamed "King of the North" and "King of the South" leading to the "time of the end", when Israel will be vindicated and the dead raised, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel is initially troubled, and he is reassured by the king. Daniel then expresses the hope that the dream applied to someone else - those who hate the king - but he goes on to explain: the king himself is the tree, and by the decree of God he will lose his human mind for the mind of an animal, and live with wild animals and eat grass like an ox.
The subject of the text is eschatological [5] and makes a connection with the healing ministry of the Messiah. [6] 4Q521 may be related to other apocalyptic end-time texts, 4QSecond Ezekiel [7] 4QApocryphon of Daniel, [8] and has been studied in relation to the Gospel of Luke's Messianic Magnificat and Benedictus; especially striking is the comparison with Luke 7:22 about raising the dead.
