"Interpretation of The Ram, He Goat, The little Horn"

Interpretation of the vision

Daniel 8:15-19

Gabriel the Angel was there to make Daniel understand the vision.

O son of man, for "At the time of the end" shall be the vision.

Daniel 8:20

The Ram with two horns is two kings of Media-Persia.

Daniel 8:21-22

The Rough Goat (He Goat) is the king of Grecia (Greece).

The great horn between his eyes is the first king.

That horn breaks four shall stand up in that nation but not in his power.

Daniel 8:23-27

The Little Horn (Muhammad)

At the latter time of their kingdom ( four horns) when transgressors are come to the full,

A king of fierce countenance, understanding dark sentences, shall stand up (Muhammad),

His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power,

He shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise,

And shall destroy the mighty and the Holy People (Jews and Christians),

Through his policy (Islam and Allah) he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand,

He shall magnify himself in his heart,

By peace destroy many,

He shall stand up against the Prince of Princes (Jesus, The Son of God he denied)

But he shall be broken without hand

The vision is true, wherefore shut up the vision, for it shall be for many days.

Then Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days, after ward rose up, and did the king's business; Daniel was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Da:11:36: And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Da:11:37: Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Da:11:38: But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Da:11:39: Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Da:11:40: And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

Da:12:1: And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
