Daniel 8:20-24

“The ram that you saw with two long horns represents the kingdoms of the Medes and the Persians. “The male goat represents the kingdoms of Greece, and the big horn on its forehead is the first king of the Greek Empire. “As for the horn that was broken off and replaced by four prominent horns, this signifies that four other kingdoms will rise from its midst, but their combined power will not be as great as the first. “When their reign comes to an end and their crimes have reached their full measure, there will arise a stern king, skilled in stubbornness and trickery. He will grow in might but not through any power of his own. He will cause amazing devastation, succeed in every undertaking, and destroy mighty ones, the saints of the Most High.
