About 200 years before the time of Alexander the Great, Jehovah God's prophet Daniel wrote concerning world domination: "Look! there was a male of he goats coming from the sunset upon the surface of the whole earth, and it was not touching the earth. And as regards the he-goat, there was a conspicuous horn between its eyes. And it kept coming all the way to the ram possessing the two horns, . . . and it kept running toward in its powerful rage. And . . .it proceeded to strike down the ram and to break its two horns, and there proved to be no power in the ram to stand before it. So it threw it to the earth and trampled it down . . . And the male of the goats, for its part, put on great airs to an extreme; but as soon as it became mighty, the great horn was broken, and there proceeded to come up conspicuously four instead of it, toward the four winds of the heavens." - DANIEL 8:5-8.
To whom did these words apply? Daniel himself answers: "The ram that you saw possessing the two horns stands for the kings of Media and Persia. And the hairy he-goat stands for the king of Greece; and as for the the great horn that was between its eyes, it stands for the first king." - DANIEL 8:20-22.
