“The Ram and the Goat”

Based on Daniel 8, his vision of a ram and a goat, and the interpretation by the angel Gabriel.

Verses 1-8:

The vision begins with the prophet Daniel standing on the banks of a canal in present day Iran, but looking towards present day Iraq.

Daniel’s vision begins when he sees a ram on the bank of the canal. This ram had 2 horns but one grows up later and is greater than the other. He watches as it charges northward, southward, and westward. It has great power to do as it wills, and it terrifies and terrorizes its neighbors.

Now after Daniel was considering the ram, he sees a shaggy male goat coming across the whole world from the West! It was flying and it comes without touching the ground! This goat had a conspicuous horn between its eyes.

The goat comes close to the ram in powerful wrath. He charges the ram and in rage breaks the 2 horns and tramples the ram to the ground. No one could rescue the ram from the goat’s power.

Then the goat became exceedingly great. The great horn grew up but at the height of his power was broken off. Then came up four horns in its place, which rose towards the four winds of heaven.

Interpretation (vs.1-8) :

The angel Gabriel interprets the vision and first he tells Daniel that what he has seen refers to the “time of the end.”

He says to Daniel, “Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation, for it refers to the appointed time of the end.”

Gabriel says that the ram with 2 horns is the kingdoms of Media and Persia (modern Iran). One of the horns of the ram is the king of the Medes and Persians now and another is the king of them later (but both are defeated). The goat with the great horn is the kingdom of Greece (the West). The horn of the goat is the first king. This king is strong but when he is powerful he loses his seat and his kingdom is broken into 4 parts. These four kings and their kingdoms are not as powerful and this beast evolves into the next one. (The goat is also connected to the beast of the end, the 10- horned dragon.)

Timeline and modern translation:

Beginning of world war 3. Russia vs Ukraine (with the support of Europe and America, America & Israel vs Iran, China vs Taiwan – coming soon!)

Paradigm of ancient & modern:

America is Greece and Iran is the Medes and Persians. President Trump is the horn of the goat. The Ayatollah Khamenei was the first horn of the ram. America has destroyed the Iranians with the help of Israel but both from air dominance. America came from the west and built an air bridge across the globe to Israel. Israel and America have completely decimated the Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure and killed the leaders of the Islamic regime.

My notes:

  1. Gabriel says 3x that the vision refers to the end times.
  2. The end times of indignation is the time of God’s furious justice and righteous wrath.
  3. The ram is modern Iran but represents the “east”. The goat is modern America, but encompasses “the west” as well. It begins with the battle between these nations but soon the red horsemen of the apocalypse comes to take peace from the earth after the victory of the west again.
  4. American air superiority and air bridge from the west to Israel. Iran defeated with no ground campaign.
  5. If this is true then according to the prophecy America will split into 4 kingdoms.
  6. East vs. West = exponentially expanding cyclical redundancy aka World War, WW2, WW3, WW4, WW5 (Armageddon x2)
  7. Missing information: if America is the goat and president Trump is the first great horn of the goat then when does the second ram’s horn grow up/ get broken off? The answer is given by the prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah (post coming soon). Hint: world war 4 aka “outer ring” nations!
  8. Israel must become victorious and powerful until all nations realize that God has given them authority but they all rebel against the authority.
