Daniel 8:5-7

While I was watching, suddenly a male goat appeared from the west, crossing the land so swiftly that he didn't even touch the ground. This goat, which had one very large horn between its eyes, headed toward the two-horned ram that I had seen standing beside the river, rushing at him in a rage. The goat charged furiously at the ram and struck him, breaking off both horns. Now the ram was helpless, and the goat knocked him down and trampled him. No one could rescue the ram from the goat's power.

Daniel 8:21  "The shaggy male goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes represents the first king of the Greek Empire."
Daniel 8:8  The goat became very powerful. But at the height of his power, his large horn was broken off. In the long horn's place grew four prominent horns pointing in the four directions of the earth.
Daniel  7:6  Then the third of these strange beasts appeared, and it looked like a leopard. It had four bird's wings on its back, and it had four heads. Great authority was given to this beast.
 
The goat charged furiously at the ram and struck him, breaking off both horns. Now the ram was helpless, and the goat knocked him down and trampled him. No one could rescue the ram from the goat's power.
Daniel 11:3-4  "Then a mighty king will arise to power who will rule with great authority and accomplish everything he sets out to do. But at the height of his power, his kingdom will be broken apart and divided into four parts. It will not be ruled by the king's descendants, nor will the kingdom hold the authority it once had. For his empire will be uprooted and given to others." (see verses 3-39)
