9720. 'On its four corners' means every aspect of it. This is clear from the meaning of 'four' as a joining together, dealt with in 9601, 9674; and from the meaning of 'corners' as firmness and strength, dealt with in 9494, and also all aspects of truth and good, 9642. Consequently 'horns on the four corners' means every aspect of the power.
