It did as it pleased and became great. 5 As I was pondering this, suddenly a male goat came from the west, crossing the entire earth without touching the ground, and it had a notable horn between its eyes. 6 It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage. 7 I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking it and breaking its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it, and no one could rescue the ram from its power. 8 The male goat became very great, but at the height of its power, its large horn was broken off, and in its place, four prominent horns grew toward the four winds of heaven.
  • Dan 11:2-9 : 2 Now I will tell you the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will be far richer than all of them.

It will not go to his descendants and will not have the same authority he ruled with, for his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others. 5 Then the king of the South will grow strong, but one of his officials will become even stronger than him and will rule with great power over his own dominion. 6 After some years, they will form an alliance. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an agreement, but she will not retain her power, and neither will the king nor his power endure. She, her escort, her child, and the one who supported her will all be surrendered during those times. 7 Out of her family line, someone will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces and enter the stronghold of the king of the North. He will fight against them and prevail. 8 He will also carry off their gods, their metal images, and their precious articles of silver and gold into Egypt. For some years, he will refrain from attacking the king of the North. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will return to his own land. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army. They will sweep through, overflow, and pass on to launch attacks and stir up conflicts as far as the enemy's fortress. 11 Then the king of the South will be enraged and will march out to fight against the king of the North. The king of the North will raise a large army, but it will be handed over to the king of the South. 12 When the army is captured, the king's heart will become proud. Though he will overthrow tens of thousands, he will not remain strong. 13 The king of the North will return and raise a greater army than before. After several years, he will come again with a large army and much equipment. 14 During those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent men among your own people will rise up to fulfill the vision, but they will fall. 15 So the king of the North will come and build siege ramps and capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their best troops will have no strength to resist. 16 The invader will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him. He will establish himself in the Glorious Land, and it will be completely under his control. 17 He will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, making agreements, and will give a daughter of women in marriage to destroy it. But his plan will not succeed or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands and will capture many. However, a commander will put an end to his arrogance and will repay him for his scorn. 19 Afterward, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and not be found again. 20 In his place, one will arise who will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor. In a short time, he will be destroyed, though not by anger or in battle.
