Daniel 8:19-25

19Then he said, “I am here to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath. What you have seen pertains to the very end of time.

20The two-horned ram represents the kings of Media and Persia.

21The shaggy male goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king of the Greek Empire.

22The four prominent horns that replaced the one large horn show that the Greek Empire will break into four kingdoms, but none as great as the first.

23“At the end of their rule, when their sin is at its height, a fierce king, a master of intrigue, will rise to power.

24He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause a shocking amount of destruction and succeed in everything he does. He will destroy powerful leaders and devastate the holy people.

25He will be a master of deception and will become arrogant; he will destroy many without warning. He will even take on the Prince of princes in battle, but he will be broken, though not by human power.
