References: Daniel 8

Animal fights rivet your attention, but the battle that Daniel saw between a ram and a he-goat predicted the result of a world war between Persia and Greece. Then he looked into the future of his Jewish people and saw the rise of a king who thought he could stop the holy sacrifices in Jerusalem and strut all the way to heaven. He was wrong. As we join Daniel to observe the hot war between ancient Greece and Persia, and the ensuing rise and fall of world powers, what do we learn about the conflicts between nations, and God's point of view on the struggle?
