Daniel 8
Daniel visions a ram with two horns representing the kings of Media and Persia, conquered by a goat from Greece whose prominent horn (the first king) breaks, replaced by four horns; from one emerges a little horn that grows toward the south, east, and the beautiful land, opposing the daily burnt offering, casting truth to the ground, and trampling the sanctuary and host.[1][2][3] The angel Gabriel interprets the vision as concerning the time of the end, states it will last 2,300 evenings and mornings until the sanctuary's restoration, identifies the antagonists, and notes the little horn—a cunning king—will rise against the Prince of princes but be broken without human hand; Daniel falls sick and astonished.[1][2][4]
