“And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.”
The goat confronts the ram in furious rage, expressing the historical inevitability and violence of conflict between Hellenistic and Medo-Persian forces at Gaugamela and other major battles. The emotional intensity ("furious rage") anthropomorphizes the cosmic struggle between empires, while also suggesting divine judgment against one and favor toward another. The encounter represents the clash of civilizations and the transfer of world dominion.
