19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what will happen in the period of wrath, for it refers to the appointed time of the end.
20 “The ram that you saw who had two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.
21 “And the hairy he-goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the great horn that is between his eyes—he is the first king.
22 And the horn that was broken, and then there arose four horns in place of it—these are four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, but not with his power.
23 And at the end of their kingdom, when the transgressions are completed, a king will arise, fierce in countenance and skilled in riddles.
24 And his power will grow, but not by his own power, and he will cause fearful destruction, and he will succeed and he will act, and he will destroy the mighty and the people of the holy ones.
25 And by his planning he will make a success of deceit by his hand, and in his mind he will boast, and in their ease he will destroy many, and even against the prince of princes he will rise up, and he will be broken, but not by human hands.
