Horn:

"a horn," is used in the plural, as the symbol of strength,

(a) in the apocalyptic visions;

(1) on the head of the Lamb as symbolic of Christ, Rev 5:6;

(2) on the heads of beasts as symbolic of national potentates, Rev 12:3; 13:1, 11; 17:3, 7, 12, 16 (cp. Dan 7:8; 8:9; Zec 1:18, etc.);

(3) at the corners of the golden altar, Rev 9:13 (cp. Exd 30:2; the horns were of one piece with the altar, as in the case of the brazen altar, Exd 27:2, and were emblematic of the efficacy of the ministry connected with it);

(b) metaphorically, in the singular, "a horn of salvation," Luk 1:69 (a frequent metaphor in the OT, e.g., Psa 18:2; cp. 1Sa 2:10; Lam 2:3).
