Rise and Division of Alexander's Empire

Fulfilled

550 BC — Babylon

A male goat with a prominent horn came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. It attacked a two-horned ram and shattered it. The goat became very great, but at the height of its power, the large horn was broken off and four prominent horns grew in its place.

Historical Fulfilment

Alexander the Great (the goat) conquered the Persian Empire (the ram) with incredible speed. He died at 32 at the height of power, and his empire was divided among four generals: Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy.
