DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 8 – Vision of the Ram, He-Goat & Little Horn
under the leadership of Alexander the Great,

a general as famous as the world has ever

seen. This part of her history is represented by

the first phase of the goat, during which time

the one notable horn symbolized Alexander

the Great. Upon his death, the kingdom fell

into fragments, but almost immediately

consolidated into four grand divisions,

represented by the second phase of the goat,

when it had four horns which came up in the

place of the first, which was broken. These

divisions did not stand in his power. None of

them possessed the strength of the original

kingdom. These great waymarks in history, on

which the historian bestows volumes, the

inspired penman here gives us in sharp

outline, with a few strokes of the pencil and a

few dashes of the pen.
