After the ram has become a great world power, a male goat appears. It comes from the west and destroys the ram’s power with incredible speed, taking over world power. The words, without touching the ground
point to the great velocity with which this power achieves victories. This goat has a conspicuous horn between its eyes and for the explanation of this see Daniel 8:21.
5 As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
