What Does Daniel 8:6 Mean?
The goat drives straight at the ram Daniel had seen by the river, charging in the fury of its strength. The collision pictures the clash between the Greek advance and the Medo-Persian empire, two great powers meeting where one must give way. The energy of the goat is total, gathered into a single rushing blow.
Scripture lets us watch the rise and fall of empires as a single unfolding scene, so that no kingdom can imagine itself secure. The ram that lately did according to its will now faces a fury it did not foresee. The same earth that trembled under one conqueror will tremble under the next. Such is the restless story of human power apart from God, kingdom hurling itself against kingdom, while the Lord alone remains unmoved.
