Book of Daniel, chap 8
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel%208
Daniel's Vision:
a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. 6
The goat became very great, but at the height of his power his large horn was broken off,
Gabriel the Arch Angel's interpretation:
The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king. 22 The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.

And did you know that the bible is simply one more holy book? And that most of the stuff in it is copy cat from other religions??
1.The adam and eve story is Babylonian,
2. the 10 commandments come from Egypt, called the 12 denials, and pre-date Moses by some 1200 years?
3. The idea of a trinity is common in all stone age religions of the Middle East.... people get visited THREE times, there were THREE wise men, yaydadadyadya,
4. and that likely there were several men who made up the one person we know know as jesus, as well, there were dozens of men running around Palestine duirng this time, all claiming to fit one prophecy or another..The list is endless..... But of COURSE you didn't know these, though, did you?
Take some courses in comparative religions.... you have TONS to learn

Interpretation is highly subjective.
I could argue the goat is George Bush Snr, George Bush Jnr is the horny one and the four emerged kingdoms are the autnomous regions of Iraq.

How in the world did you come to the conclusion that it clearly spoke of it?.....Lets see the goat is him........the horns a first king.....thats a clear reference?
Now if it would have said the king of greece will become great...id say its a slam dunk...but it didnt
