 no reason why Antichrist and his allies turn against Rome except that God puts it into their hearts to accomplish His purposes.

According to the Vulgate, only the ten kings will make war upon Rome: "The ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot," etc. The Greek text reads: "The ten horns which thou saw est and the beast: these shall hate," etc. This is evidently the better reading, as it fits into the context, God put it into the hearts of the ten kings to give their power to the beast to do His words. The "words of God" can be nothing else than the destruction of Rome.
