Daniel 8:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 8:2

Vision of a Ram and a Goat

1 In¹ the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me—to me, Daniel—after the one that appeared to me ^athe first time.

2 I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in ^aShushan, the citadel, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai.

3 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was ^ahigher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

4 I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could¹ withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, ^abut he did according to his will and became great.

5 And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable ^ahorn between his eyes.

6 Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power.
