There's the ram that does this, there's the beast that does this
-
but you know that these beasts represent different kingdoms
-
because in Chapter 8:20 he says
-
"As for the ram that you saw
-
with the two horns, these are the Kings of Mede and persia"
-
There was the kingdom of the Medes and the kingdom of the Persians
-
who came together under Cyrus
-
"The male goat is the King of Greece
-
and the great horn between its eyes is the first king,"
-
so that would be Phillip, Alexander's father
-
"As for the horn that was broken in place of which four others arose
-
four kingdoms shall arise from his nation
