18 While he was speaking, I fell face down in a deep sleep. But he lifted me to my feet
19 and said:Listen, and I will tell you what will happen at the end of time, when God has chosen to show his anger.
20 The two horns of the ram are the kings of Media and Persia,
21 the goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the powerful horn between his eyes is the first of its kings.
22 After this horn is broken, four other kingdoms will appear, but they won't be as strong.
23 When these rulers have become as evil as possible, their power will end, and then a king who is dangerous and cannot be trusted will appear.
24 He will gain strength, but not on his own, and he will cause terrible destruction. He will wipe out powerful leaders and God's people as well.
