“The goat came toward
The ram
With the two horns,
That I had seen
Standing
Beside the river.
It ran at him
With a savage force.
I saw it
Approaching
The ram.
The goat was enraged
Against it.
The goat struck
The ram,
Breaking
Its two horns.
The ram
Did not have power
To withstand it.
The goat threw
The ram down
To the ground.
The goat trampled
Upon the ram.
There was no one
Who could rescue
The ram
From its power.”
Next Daniel witnessed the attack of the goat against the ram. The goat was angry, so that it struck the ram, breaking its 2 horns. Here is an indication that Alexander the Great, the goat, had attacked the Persians and Medes, the 2-horned ram. The ram could not recover, as the goat threw the ram to the ground and trampled over it. There was no one there to rescue the ram from the power of this goat.
