“And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.”
A male goat from the west moves with such speed that its feet do not touch the ground, representing Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Empire with supernatural swiftness and invincibility. The goat's westward origin (Greece) and aerial movement emphasize the unnatural speed and apparent impossibility of conquest that characterized Alexander's campaigns. This image conveys both historical reality and divine arrangement, showing how God orchestrates the rise and fall of human kingdoms through appointed vessels.
