Daniel 8:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 8:6

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.

7 And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him,¹ attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

8 Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it ^afour notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven.

9 ^aAnd out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, ^btoward the east, and toward the ^cGlorious Land.
