And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
An he-goat came from the west, on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground. - Graeco-Macedonia.
The goat had a notable horn - Alexander. "Touched not the ground" implies the incredible swiftness of his conquests; he overran the world in less than 12 years. The he-goat corresponds to the leopard (Daniel 7:6).
